2. Richard Armitage - Short And Sweet

"I was fascinated by how greed can change a person mentally and emotionally, which is what happens with Thorin as our story progresses.”

3. Tool - Tooling Around

“The last time you saw us we were on the Big Day Out, so we get to do our show, which is a completely different thing. I mean, we love playing festivals; they're a lot of fun."

4. Ambar - Ambarred

"We have a long way to go and there are no guarantees with our licensing authorities, but I am confident we'll get it over the line.”

5. Dr Justine Rogers

"It's funny, I have never considered this before because these people are around me all the time. I love comedians and nerds!”

6. The Gaslight Anthem - Every Word Handwritten

7. Otep - Kiss My Art

“People that defend pirating... whoever said art was supposed to be free? Whoever said that music should ever be free?"

8. Om - Divine Intervention

“When you think about it that way, you know, it is a job. To write the songs is one thing, but then to have all of them in a collection released by a label, you owe that label. It does work, because they do promote it."

“I wrote the bulk of this one and did everything in the process from the early demo recordings to the proper recording and production, mastering, artwork layout, video clips – everything."

10. The Knife - Cutting Deep
