Sigur Ros Blame Stevie Wonder For Not Airing Their performance At Bestival

They thought the clip couldn’t be used as they felt it was not reflecting what they truly want to do on stage, … sure, I understand that lights are part of their performance, and seeing them during daylight was probably modifying the experience, but they are playing music, and I still hope fans go to see them for their music first. They aren’t some nocturnal circus/cabaret act!

REM Serves Fox News

They’re in the news now for serving up a cease and desist with Fox news. Seems since the lack of mention of God in the Democratic Agenda, gave Fox the idea to use a snip from “Losing My Religion” as the fade out tune for their Democratic Convention coverage.

Rolling Stones In The Studio?

I wouldn’t put too much faith in that occurring. Where’s the tour? Where’s the videos? Where are the guest spots? So far all we have gotten is gossip and a coffee table book.

Spike Lee "Bad25" Cash In

The releases will include a repackaged version of the album and documentary and unreleased demo tunes, remixes and concert footage. All of the essentials for a hefty price tag on a recycled product. Made for the diehard fans who simply cannot get enough of Jackson (and there are many)

Lily Allen On Stage With Pink Monday Night

here have been hints and allegations and, Monday night, at a private gig for Sony in L.A. Pink invited Lily on stage to duet on “True Love” -I’m guessing the Cole Porter classic. The song is on Pink’s upcoming album and apparently the 5 month old Lily is having a much easier time of it as she not only made the commute from London to L.A. with baby Ethel and husband Sam. She did so in heels.

In Praise Of Paul Shaffer

If all you know about Shaffer is his work with Letterman, you haven’t scratched the surface. In the 1970s he was House Pianist for Saturday Night Live, and also worked with the Blues Brothers. Paul was also the musical director for Gilda Live On Broadway, one of my favorite theater going experiences from back in the 1970s!

Taylor Swift Sees Red

Written for Will Anderson of the terrible, terrible MOR rock band Parachutes’ lead singer, it is the sort of song he couldn’t write with a blueprint. Instead he is behind dross like “She Is Love” -that should be executed at dawn

The Jackson Family Feud For Dummies!

New York Post had an article on Sunday detailing what was really happening behind the scenes and I am gonna dumb it down. But first let me really dumb it down: Randy tried to wrestle control of the kids away from his mother, Tito’s son TJ got it, and Janet should’ve stayed clear and didn’t.

Sick of Jack White Yet?

Ohhh I’m intrigued.I would be shocked if his next release was as good and Blunder, there are some levels that cant be maintained and Jack White is a bit odd for consistency. He is scattered with multiple projects and well, lets face it- it was a case of great timing.

Madonna's Show At Paris' Olympia Was Booed By Fans

First of all, Madonna has a weird audience, a little bit earlier the same people who were in awe in front of her, who had been waiting for her hours and hours, camping on the sidewalk, were insulting her and saying that she was a slut? And this just because she had decided to shorten concert? Isn’t it a little extreme?

Madonna; Dances With Guns

This after the Bat-shooting in Colorado. Tasteless? Yeah, but this is the same broad who got off on an alter so its not as if being vile was uncharted territory for her. As for the Bat-death, well there we have another issue. Was it insensitive?

Justin Bieber Is A Man Now, And Gets Free Gas In Canada

Any other big revelations? He doesn’t like cheese fondue, since people who eat it are ‘old and from Paris’,.. well, fuck you Bieber, you don’t know what you are missing. He prefers kiss-ass-Leno to Letterman, just like old people by the way, and I suppose he will also vote for Mitt Romney

Amy Winehouse's Hologram May Happen

‘The most important thing to Amy was the music and I’m sure a lot of people would like to hear her sing again. It depends on what Amy’s fans want as a way to keep her memory alive. If it’s a book, an album or a hologram, then so be it.’

The Strokes Sober Up

After watching a dodgy show at MSG where the Strokes got run outta Dodge by Elvis Costello and a coupla years down the line from their worst album and even further from Casablancas excellent solo album (and tour), only “Taken for A Fool” remains of the entire debacle.

Fun With Tour Riders: Madonna

Madonna travels with a 200 person entourage that includes a dry cleaner. A dry cleaner. Either she is a slob or she has a strange laundry fetish or most likely shes snorting the cleaning chemicals.

Usher is Not a Germaphobe

When Usher dines out- he asks for a cup of boiling water…why? To drop in the cutlery! See he isn’t a germaphobe but cant stand the thought of dirty forks and will usually request new silverware.

Frances Bean Cobain's Cat Has Been Missing For More Than A Week!

Some stupid people have been attacking her saying she is spoiled for offering such a large amount of money for a cat or that she is doing it for attention, to what she cleverly replied; ‘What most ppl don’t understand is that i would offer up my home 2 see my cat returned safely& if i wanted attention I would make a sex tape’

Metallica Need More Money

“The cycles of taking two years off don’t exist anymore. We were able to do that because we had record royalties coming in consistently. ‘Now you put out an album, and you have a windfall maybe once or twice but not the way it used to be – a check every three months.”

Despite What You Think, Delta Goodrem Has Never Heard Of Arcade Fire

There is an undeniable similarity indeed, that crescendo with the piano, but her voice is auto-tuned-commercial-style, and for me, her song sounds so much like a bad remix ready for dance clubs, that it is difficult to hear the Arcade Fire song. But the most surprising in this story is that Goodrem had never heard of Arcade Fire… wow, Australia is really the last frontier.

Donna Summer Got The Full Rush Limbaugh's Endorsement

Yuck! I would rather change my flight than share some oxygen with that dumbass. Then he continued with formulas like ‘she was one of us’, ‘she was a committed Christian’, ‘She was a right-winger’, and ‘She came to hate the smut on the radio. She was not a fan of rap music at all.’
