Amy Winehouse Back Working With Mark Ronson →  April 25, 2010

Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson have had a pretty tumultuous relationship – but they produce some brilliant music. Back to Black will deservedly go down as one of the best album of the ’00s; and they’re back together. Mark got a bit pissed with Amy two years ago when she refused to put in the [...]

MIA, Born Free Leaked →  April 25, 2010

MIA’s new album has been subject to a leak (anyone think these leaks are so frequents that they must be deliberate?). However it happened, we’re pretty excited. It sounds like she is singing over Suicide’s Ghost Rider. The song constantly repeats the line “I was Born Free” – pretty apt given her recent troubles. MIA [...]

Lily Allen, Gary Barlow – Do Politics and Music Mix? →  April 25, 2010

Protest songs have been on the wain for ages – but it seems more and more politicians are trying to court pop stars to support political parties. Lily Allen claims in today’s Sunday Times that both the Tories and Labour have asked her to attend their conferences. The move from the Conservatives is especially strange [...]

Bob Dylan – Plagiarist or Genius? →  April 25, 2010

In a recent folk on folk attack Joni Mitchell had a snipe at Bob Dylan. In an interview with the LA Times she said: Bob is not authentic at all. He’s a plagiarist, and his name and voice are fake. Everything about Bob is a deception. We are like night and day, he and I. [...]

Has Pete Doherty Killed Babyshambles? →  April 22, 2010

The reunion of The Libertines has really left everyone confused to the future of Babyshambles. The sounds from Carl and Pete seem to suggest that their performances at Reading and Leeds could well lead to other things. It would seem unlikely that Pete would be able to hold down two bands, usually struggling to hold [...]

Girls Aloud and Lily Allen for Ivor Novello Awards – Really? →  April 21, 2010

The Ivor Novello headline award look like it could be Brit award category this year. Dizzee Rascal, Bat for Lashes and La Roux are up for the best contemporary song. If the awards carry on this way they will end up as simply ignored footnotes. Not that these acts aren’t good – but would even [...]

The Coral Return! →  April 21, 2010
