( 6 stories between 3rd September 2008 and 8th July 2011 )Stranger Than Fiction Friday: Muse Wants to Record in Space
Jul, 8 2011
No doubt it’s a tough nut to crack, finding new ways to market and promote a band’s new album, but being the first band to record in space is a pretty strong pitch. This is the dream of Matt Bellamy, front man for British psychedelic rock band, Muse.
The trio has expressed a desire to Richard Branson to book a flight on his commercial intergalactic flight when the scheme takes off, according to Contactmusic. "We're trying to blag a free trip on it [Virgin Galactic]. I'm going to try to convince Richard Branson to let us make a music video or record a song up there. I think that would be cool. Would I be scared? I think I'll be alright," said Bellamy.
After a recent tour stop in Moscow, Russian fans bestowed up him a telescope having been aware of Bellamy’s interest in astronomy. "The crowd in Moscow were probably the most intense we've ever had. They were going mental and they bought me a big telescope."
He enthused, "It's a big, real, serious piece. I set it up when I got home and looked at the moon. F**king hell, have you ever looked at the moon through a telescope? It's all mountains and stuff, it's unbelievable."

Supermassive Muse Set To Shrink
Sep, 12 2010
As rock trio Muse have got bigger in terms of fame, they've also got bigger in musical terms: when compared to the bombastic guitars and grand themes of their more recent records, their debut Showbiz (1999) is almost coy. The stages they've played have got bigger and they've learned how to fill them, but lead singer/guitarist Matt Bellamy says that they're about to hit a limit.
"I feel like we can't go much bigger in terms of the kinds of concerts we're playing," he said in an interview with Time Out ahead of two stadium shows in London. "Weirdly, that seems to have coincided with my personal life destabilising about a year ago. I split from a relationship... I was doing lots of self-analysing."
He also thought that this change in direction may allow Muse to elect to play more intimate shows. "I sense that that's going to lead to a writing project that will be more personal, rather than talking about grand political concerns," he said. "That itself might lead to material that's more suitable for smaller venues."
