Lana the musical guest on SNL this week but other than that- music on your television sucks. We have Snow Patrol all over the place and well, they’re really sorta depressing. Perfect I guess, for the blah days of January

Like Sir Paul [McCartney, rumored to play at the opening ceremonies] they have been a major part of the nation’s culture over the past 40 years and it will be very fitting that they’re involved when London is on show to the world. It’s hoped everything can be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Feist "November Rain" Cover Reviewed

/

I always thought the song quite good. Which is why I find this jam session version so repulsive. The song and the band are very similar to the stage shown in this video. An overcrowded mess, like a dorm room floor.

Michael Jackson Glee Episode

The big buzz is usually the song list for a particular episode and a ‘leak’ of the Michael Jackson episode is causing more rumble than a royal wedding dress. The last thing I care about is what songs a weekly sitcom is going to karaoke, but I suppose I am in the minority.
