ELBOW frontman GUY GARVEY is delighted PINK FLOYD won a battle with music label bosses over online record sales - insisting the rockers were right to fight for the "integrity" of their albums.
The Wall hitmakers took executives at their EMI label to court this mon th (Mar10) arguing the company should not be allowed to dismantle the gro up’s albums and sell individual tracks online.
The musicians won their case and a judge ordered EMI chiefs to hand ove r extra cash and banned them from selling the band’s tracks individually on the web without the rockers’ permission.
And Garvey is delighted by the court victory - because it gives hope to other bands who find themselves in the same situation.
He says, "I was over the moon when I heard that Pink Floyd had won thei r legal battle with EMI last week. It wasn’t because I saw it as a David v Goliath victory - Pink Floyd are pretty gigantic - but because, as a mu sician, the integrity of the album means everything to me. That’s the thi ng with an album: you spend a big chunk of your life making it and you th ink about every note, bleep, squeak and crackle. When you’ve put your hea rt and soul into something, you want people to hear it as it was intended ..
"The integrity of the artists making that music should be respected. Th at’s why I’m knocked out that Pink Floyd won: the album is an art form th at deserves protection."

Chilton’s work has been cited as an influence by many bands, including R.E.M., Wilco, The Bangles, Garbage and Counting Crows.

He tells BBC 6 Music, "(He was a) genius of rock ‘n’ roll. (His work wa s) as good The Byrds or The Beatles.
"When we started Primal Scream, Alex was a huge influence on us, and he still is. Even if he’d only ever produced the first Cramps album he’d st ill be one of my rock ‘n’ roll heroes. But he did a lot more than that.
"He just made so many great records, and they were crazy rock ‘n’ roll records. But they were also art records and beautiful records, mournful r ecords, sad records, joyous records. What I’m trying to say is that Alex Chilton was one of the greats."

White tells U.S. newsman Larry King, "I have been asked. And I’ve thank ed them very profusely. And I said, no thank you. I think Cloris Leachman took care of that whole department. It would be fun and I would love it.

CHANNING TATUM brushed off negative reviews of his 2009 blockbuster G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA - insisting the script was "rushed" because of the writers’ strike.
The movie, based on the G.I. Joe toy franchise, grossed more than $302 million (=C2=A3201 million) worldwide after its release last year (09), b ut was panned by critics for its lacklustre script and weak plot.
But Tatum puts the failings down to the time when the movie was written - because film bosses lost ground during the 2007-2008 strike by the Wri ters Guild of America, which crippled the movie and TV industry for sever al months.
And he hopes the upcoming sequel will be better received, because the w riters will have more time to focus on getting the storyline right.
He tells Australia’s Herald Sun newspaper, "They just found writers, I just found out. I hope they take their time with it and really get it rig ht because they really had to rush it last time because of the writers’ s trike. They really want to make it great. And I’m here for them whenever they’re ready."
