Up to now, the fans and critics have completely been on Radiohead’s side with the whole download experiment, which they undertook in the second half of 2007 for In Rainbows.

Led Zeppelin Drummer Jason Bonham Claims Calls For Full Tour Are “Greedy”!

The Led Zeppelin reunion concert was such a massive success that there have obviously been massive calls from the public, especially fans who couldn’t get tickets for the one off gig, for a full UK, or world tour.
I am with them, wishing the existing members would just bite the bullet and give everyone what they […]

Lily Allen Pregnant With Chemical Brother’s Baby - Thank God She’s Given Up Smoking!

Lily Allen, that softly spoken, easy living, play it safe, uncontroversial pop star… oh hang on, I’m getting her confused with Dido. Let’s try again…
Lily Allen, that hard rocking, mockney, hard drinking, chain smoking pop star, is expecting a baby with Chemical Brother (I’m so glad it’s singular) Ed Simons.

Michael Jackson To Play London 02 Arena? Following Prince, Spice Girls, Led Zeppelin

It looks like Michael Jackson could be about to make a live comeback, by embarking on a three month tour.
Fair enough, it’s his right, and if the man needs to make a few bucks to shore up his crumbling empire, then that’s fine.
But it looks as though he could be keen to make the […]

Coldplay Cover The Pretenders ‘2000 Miles’ For Christmas On Official Website

Coldplay have placed a cover of The Pretenders Christmas song 2000 Miles on their official website.
It was actually recorded in 2003, and you can hear the amateur, untrained nature of Chris Martin’s voice coming through very well.
The reason the band give for posting this cover?
