Site update + Dhani and Wu Tang Clan reports ...

Hello everyone,

Further to my report mentioning the delay of the Wu Tang Clan's album being until 4th December, news articles are now circulating based on a report on the Wu Tang Clan's official website that the delay is to do with history being made and the magnitude of the sampled track 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps'.

The following is clipped from NMEcom ....
