Audio Samples: Hear Epiphone’s New Emperor Swingster In Action
Emperor Swingster Demo from Epiphone Company on Vimeo.
Nice… as I noted a few weeks back, Epiphone has updated its long-standing Emperor line of jazz archtops with the new Emperor Swingster, and this morning the company published a short audio demo of the instrument, including a diagram of all the settings used, and sound samples of what the guitar sounds like in and out of coil-tapping mode.
At first blush, Epiphone’s new SwingBucker pickups sound pretty nice, and the Swingster may just prove to be versatile as all get-out considering the sheer number of parallel/series wiring options available (each pickup can be individually set.)
Too bad they didn’t include any overdriven samples. I’d love to hear how this thing sounds with some creative distortion applied.

Jay-Z Says It’s ‘Incredible’ Hearing His Music At Yankee Stadium

‘It’s beautiful … beyond explanation,’ the MC says of Yankee players using his songs for at-bat music.

Before his World Series performance of “Empire State of Mind,” Jay-Z got to play the field — literally. Hov told ESPN’s “Mike and Mike in the Morning” that he got a chance to roam the green and imagined catching a ball and doubling a guy out at home plate.
“I felt like a kid,” he said. “The field is beautiful. I’ve never been that close to the field. Walking around, I jumped over the center-field fence and everything, like I was catching a home run.”
Talking to MTV News earlier in the week, before Thursday’s performance with Alicia Keys, Hov noted he loves attending games at Yankee Stadium and hearing his music.
“Jeter plays ‘Empire State’ every time he’s at bat. A-Rod does ‘Already Home’ and ‘Reminder,’ ” Jay said. “[Robinson] Cano does ‘Run This Town.’ It’s like the Jay-Z compilation at the stadium. It’s beautiful.
“Incredible,” Jay added. “Beyond explanation. Just the whole fact, being in Yankee Stadium, really interacting, knowing the players. I grew up a fan of he Yankees — Reggie Jackson, Mickey Rivers, Chris Chambliss, God bless Thurman Munson, all these guys. To be there and interact with all these guys [the current Yankee team], they’re throwing the Roc sign up — it’s fantastic.”
Ironically, Jay couldn’t stay for the show. He jumped in his Maybach and was driven out of the stadium just minutes after his performance with Alicia Keys, as he had a flight to catch for a show in Canada. Hov did keep abreast of the game, though, noting that his beloved Yankees won 3-1.
“It’s a fantastic series,” he told “Mike and Mike.” “I figured the Phillies are going to be tough and we’ll take it in seven.” And you know Hov does not lose.

Britney Spears Debuts Sexy ‘3′ Video

After a series of sneak peeks and teases on her Web site and Twitter, Britney Spears officially debuted the music video for her hit single “3″ on Friday (October 30). The sexy, fast-paced clip for the song, which will be included on The Singles Collection when it’s released next month, made its big debut on her site.
The video, shot by director Diane Martel earlier this month, is a series of glamour shots and dance breaks. The video opens with Britney in a sparkly little black dress, spritzing herself with perfume and putting on mascara. Then it cuts to a shot of her holding her hair up provocatively and singing the song’s sexy opening lines: “1,2,3/ Not only you and me/ Got 180 degrees/ And I’m caught in between.”
The video quickly becomes a montage of Britney doing what she does best: being sexy. Shots of the singer in black and white, wearing a halter-cut leotard in a steam-filled room, are cut with images of just her legs in lacy tights walking across the screen.
Britney also does a lot of dancing in close-up shots, where you can’t fully see her whole body. In some of the dance sequences she’s flanked by male dancers or standing in a lineup of sexy women who do acrobatics on a raised ballerina bar as she sashays around. There are a few moments in the video where Britney’s personality shines. She smiles at the song’s tongue-in-cheek lyrics, particularly when she finishes the song’s bridge about loving multiple people at once.
The video ends with Britney looking directly into the camera before it fades to black. Late Thursday, before the video premiered, she tweeted, “Can’t wait for ya’ll to see my new video tomorrow morning. I think you’re really going to like it!”
See what Britney fans had to say about the video here. And share your own reviews of “3″ in the comments section below!

Lady Gaga Offers Halloween-Costume Advice To Fans: ‘Lots Of Latex’

If you’re planning on dressing up like the star, make sure you have ‘wigs and high heels.’

Lady Gaga’s look is anything but simple — she’s usually rocking a combination of platinum-blond hair, heavy makeup, a wacky getup of some sort and heels. And while she often favors crazy hats, she regularly eschews pants. So as Halloween quickly approaches, prepare yourselves: There will most likely be a few Lady Gaga impersonators walking the streets of your city.
MTV News caught up with the singer herself, who offered a list of the most essential items needed for a convincing Gaga costume. “Wigs, purple shampoo and high heels. Lots of latex.”
Halloween would also seem like the perfect chance for Gaga to finally be able to roam the streets unnoticed among a sea of copycats, but as it turns out it’s actually a better time for her to just be Stefani Germanotta. “I’m just gonna not dress up, because I have been unable to just go out and have, like, a good hammered evening out … sloppy, like maybe face-down somewhere in a bar,” she explained on New York’s Z-100 radio station on Tuesday morning (October 27).
So, Gaga has opted to just have a good time and not put the pressure on herself to come up with an elaborate costume. But, she did come up with a pretty clever idea for the day. “So I’m pretty excited about going out and not dressing up, because I heard that a lot of people are dressing like me,” she said. “I should do some kind of, like, ‘Where’s Waldo?’ competition? Like ‘Where’s Gaga?’ ”
It’s Halloween Week, the spookiest time of the year and also the most fun. So as the leaves fall and it gets a bit colder, we here at MTV News decided to pay homage to the holiday by rounding up some of your favorite celebrities’ Halloween memories and costume ideas — some even offer advice on how to dress up like them this year. So brace yourselves: You’re in for one horrifying week!
