BBC to Develop New Music Show
Nobody does programming quite like the BBC. Even though Top of the Pops had lost its way, being squeezed by and ultimately compromised by trying to replicate the spirit of MTV and the like. However, it still retained something of the BBC about it and, despite the T4 style presenters shouting at the camera in...
The Labour Party’s Weird Relationship with Music
Tony Blair employing D:Ream and cosying up to Noel Galagher is a bit cringy when you look back. Ed’s carried on this New Labour tradition though by bouncing onto the conference stage (and he does bounce…like his bro) to Vampire Weekend’s “A-Punk”. What was even weirder though was leaving the Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody”…no...
Sudan Campaign Music Video Launched
Attempted genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan is one of the most silent atrocities of our time. The current climate of cynicism and loss of trust in politicians in regards to foreign affairs has led the British political parties to give this humanitarian issue a wide berth. No peace agreement has been reached. On...
Cheryl Cole Lands American X Factor Role Says Morgan
Poor Dannii Minogue…she did a bit of showbiz campaigning at first but it looks as though the American X Factor roles are definitely going to go to Cherly Cole and Nicole Scherzinger. According to The News of The World, Cowell is going to offer both of them a role. Previously there has been a bit...
Alesha Dixon to Host MOBO Awards 2010….with Reggie Yates.
The Mobos look like they will be lacking a bit of personality this year as it’s been announced they will be hosted by Alesha Dixon. Now that could be fine – after all its a classic award ceremony set up to have a pretty, fairly nice though uninteresting lady hosting in tandem with a funny...
Kanye West’s “So Appalled”, With a Bit of Jay-Z
“Good Friday actually coming on time this week! We do this for our culture!” tweeted Kanye as he released So Appalled as he’s continued on his marathon mission of releasing a song every week till Christmas. Now they’ve been a bit varying in quality, but that’s probably normal given this work rate. This one though...
Joe McElderry – Ambitions Video
Joe McElderry has finally got his video for Ambitions out there…and like his X Factor performances, it’s very stage school. Now at one time calling someone “stage school” was a bit of a dig. The starry eyes, wide smiles and wide open gestures, reminiscent of Christian evangalists, would make a British public feel a bit...
Katy Perry and the Best Sesame Street Music Cameos
Katy Perry’s performance on Sesame Street was pretty good we thought…..but apparently producers are thinking of pulling her performance after a few complaints about the video. Though she is popping out, it would be a bit harsh to ban Miss Katy as Elmo calls her (soon to be Mrs Katy). Anyways…the video’s below along with...
Russell Brand Arrested – The Paps Need to Shut Up
Russell Brand has foolishly been arrested for pushing a paparazzi. A citizen’s arrest was performed on him and he now needs to pay bail of $20,000. Was he right or wrong? Well before we wade in with our views, here’s the footage: Imagine you were walking with your girlfriend and a group get up in...
Lady Gaga’s Meat Bikini: When Exciting Became Boring
People who seek out fame broadly split up into two categories – celebrities and people in showbiz. Celebrities tend to simply be media fodder, buffeted around between media trends and what their agent tells them. They usually neither have a skill nor have they grafted in a media job to launch them, any work they...

Kanye West’s racked up a million Twitter followers since he started tweeting in July – pretty good going. But how’s he done it? By providing invaluable public information, by wrapping up detailed insights on life into just 140 characters…..or by being a bit of an iditot? Well VoucherCodes.co.uk have painstakingly pulled his tweets together on...
