Sex Pistols Swearing On Live TV Voted Most Requested Clip Ever | Beating Paul Potts

These days, the use of the F word (no, not Gordon Ramsay’s show, although he’s a good example) on television is as common as anything, with movies and programmes regularly being littered with them. But in the 1970s, things were slightly different, and swear words weren’t something you ever heard on the goggle box.

Amy Winehouse Released From Hospital | Treated For ‘A Reaction To Medication’

I reported last night how Amy Winehouse had been rushed to hospital in a blanket after falling ill again. At the time, I guessed it was either going to be due to the crack habit, or something to do with her recently being diagnosed as suffering from emphysema. But apparently, I was wrong.

Amy Winehouse Rushed To Hospital Again | I Wonder If It’s Crack Or Emphysema?

Oasis Are Fascists! | Alan McGee Thought So Purely Because Of Union Jack Flag

Although I’m proud to be British, I’m also aware of the UK’s history as an empire builder, which wasn’t the glorious time in our past that many would have you believe. Basically, we went around invading countries, and claiming them for ourselves. Kind of like the USA is doing now.

In light of that, the Union […]

Amy Winehouse Offered £1 Million For Gig | Father Blames Fielder-Civil For Self-Harm

It must be Sunday today, and the reason I know that is because there’s another round of Amy Winehouse stories in the press. It’s like a weekly habit now for the newspapers to report the latest rumours, talk to her friends and family, and generally report on the state of her health and well-being. What’s […]

Rolling Stones Leave EMI For Universal - Follow Radiohead, McCartney Out The Door

The members of the Rolling Stones may all be in their sixties, but they are still one of the most commercially-viable bands around at the moment. Which makes their defection from EMI to Universal a big blow to the former, and a massive boost to the latter.

Glastonbury 2009 Tickets Go On Sale Early - Eavis Excited To Outdo Jay-Z With Line-Up

Glastonbury 2008 was a bit of a mixed bag - with poor ticket sales meaning there were still places for the festival available on the day it started, but some outstanding performances from artists such as Amy Winehouse, Editors, and The Verve ultimately saving the day. The weather was also okay after an initial downpour.
Then […]
