Kanye West, Jay Z, Nicki Minaj and Bon Iver in Monster Video
Rarely do we like a video on first listen – but when Jay Z, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross and Bon Iver get together you know it’s got to be good. The video was darker than we had expected. Usually when you hear a music video is going to be horror based you get...
Cher Lloyd on Jay-Z’s Record Label, But What about Aiden Grimshaw?
When Cher Lloyd left the X Factor we thought she’d get signed up to Will.i.am’s label or to Simon Cowell’s Syco. Well, she’s surprised us again by getting signed up with Jay-Z. A source told the Sun: “Even though Cher didn’t do terrifically well in ‘The X Factor’ finals, there’s been a hell of a...
Paloma Faith Shows Her True Colours on Twitter
Now we all know Paloma Faith is a bit of a twat, but usually this is just in a shouty, “ooo…look at me…i just did a zany thing!” kinda way. There’s never really any obvious malice behind it. Well, what happens when some people nod along (usually in an embarrassed way) to this behaviour and...
Apple Keynote – What Do Music Lovers Want: Vote
iTunes now has a 70% share of US digital music downloads, trouncing Amazon and Wal-Mart. With great power comes great responsibility though, and we’re asking you want Steve Jobs to announce in his January keynote to help the music industry.

N Dubz Bloke has Stuff to Say…Badly
Channel 4′s alternative Christmas message has shown itself to be an extraordinarily well thought out subversive project. In the past they have attracted Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a Muslim lady in full dress and a British soldier from the Afghanistan conflict. When they have been less serious too they have managed to pick people who had an...
Aiden Grimshaw Fans Get Organised on Twitter
The general feeling is Aiden Grimshaw went before his time on this year’s X Factor. The most probable explanation seems to be that he appeared to be safe..so people saved their votes for later weeks. Katie Waissel’s fans on the other hand were more than aware they had to pick up the phone. Matt himself...
The Lonely Island Release I Just Had Sex Video
We love The Lonely Island! They first came to our attention on SNL with their infamous Justin Timberlake number. Jizz in my Pants then confirmed them for us as the current kings of parody R&B. They’ve got a new album coming out in 2011 as the follow up to their Incredibad – and they’ve just...
Morrissey Backs Johnny Marr Over David Cameron
Morrissey famously sung that he couldn’t wait until “the English are sick to death of labour and tories and spit upon the name Oliver Cromwell”. It’s obvious he’s never been shy of wading into the political argument – so what has David Cameron been thinking about telling everyone he likes The Smiths. On twitter earlier...
X Factor 2010: Dannii Minogue Becomes Nation’s Favourite Judge
Remember the days when Simon Cowell was seen as the harsh but fair judge? Remember the days when Cheryl was the nation’s sweetheart? Well X Factor 2010 has changed all that as Dannii Minogue has found herself becoming the nation’s favourite judge. We’re unashamedly part of Team Dannii, and after a bit of an unpopular...
X Factor 2010: Wagner Gets Gagged
Nothing seems to upset Wagner. He has that kind of sunny disposition you get from being over a certain age and being a bit bonkers. However, when X Factor big wigs put a ban on his TV appearances, this must have upset the “unpredictable” Wagner a little bit. After leaving the X Factor on Saturday...
