If Katy Perry has one major achievement beyond her music, it must certainly be putting women at ease, on a global scale, for wearing tonnes of makeup. We first came across it with her bright (dare we say gaudy) nails on her The One of The Boys artwork (to get some Katy Perry style inspiration...
September saw the saw launch of www.bearockstar.com, an exciting collaboration between Universal Music and Paco Rabanne Black XS, the fragrance de choix of any self-respecting rockstar-in-waiting. Two Door Cinema Club, Kaiser Chiefs and Cold War Kids are among the roster of acts who will be showcased on the site in a series of nine episodes...
With festival season reaching its climax for another year, and Bestival – a brilliant round off to any season – selling out there’s bound to be a scramble for a seatwave discount code. Well not to worry we’ve managed to scour the net and pick one out for our lucky readers who will be entitled...
Like politics, dogs and Cher, Time seems to affect The Music Industry differently to how it affects normal human beings. A year in human terms is like a decade in the music world; sounds, styles and genres continually boom in and out of fashion, while an endless litter of new artists bounce eagerly onto the...
Where? The Pyramid stage, Glastonbury Festival 2011 The Saturday night headliners selected a rather random yet brilliant, well for me any way, entrance tune as they casually strolled on stage to the Back to the Future theme tune. Could this have represented the fact that this is the greedy bands headlining slot for the...
Where? The Pyramid stage, Glastonbury Festival 2011 Considering it was a Friday night at the legendary Pyramid stage and there were only fifteen minutes to go the crowd was worryingly small. Though with an open mind I used the spaces to my advantage and waded through the mud to get a closer look. The...
Where? Club Dada, Shang-ri La, Glastonbury Festival 2011 Ok, so imagine vintage swing music, ra-ra dresses and top hats; the lot. Now mix in some electro beats and a touch of drum n bass and the result should be very similar to what The Correspondents produce. Off the stage, for me, the music does not...
Where? The Pyramid stage, Glastonbury Festival 2011 There, stood in front of a blinding bright pyramid backdrop was the bootylicious silhouette of the Goddess herself, Beyoncé Knowles. The response was deafening; an eruption caused by the weekend-long anticipated wait for the a-list diva. There was a tense build up with an indistinguishable tune soon...
You probably haven’t heard of Junica. And if you haven’t heard of Junica you probably haven’t heard Junica’s amazing song ‘Living In My House’ featuring Ladyhawke. And if you haven’t heard Junica’s amazing song ‘Living in My House’ featuring Ladyhawke then you *definitely* probably didn’t know that it’s been available to buy on iTunes...
So we’ve had a few days now to calmly and rationally consider the fact that Girls Aloud will be returning in 2012. We’ve calmly danced our tits off to ‘Something Kinda Ooooh’ approximately 37 times, and very rationally spent our ‘should probably be working’ time watching every Girls Aloud video that currently exists on youtube....
What would Sporty Spice sound like in 2011? WELL, LIKE THIS ACTUALLY And by ‘like this’ we mean ‘really rather surprising and not at all like her slightly bizarre 2007 cover of ‘I Want Candy’ which can only be a GOOD THING’. Mel C always seemed to have the most potential as a solo Spice....
The Arctic Monkeys fan base have been proving that they haven’t gone off the boil as the midweek charts show they’ve been buying Suck It and See in their droves. What is likely to be a an extra bonus to many of them is that this move will also see Lady Gaga knocked off...
