Boyzone Announce Reunion Shows - No One Cares - Just Give Up Now… I Beg You!

Back in November of last year, Boyzone announced they were getting back together, and I wrote a post titled ‘Boyzone Announce Reunion - Noooooooooooooooooo!’ to show the level of my displeasure at the thought.
At the time, the reunion was just a one-off for Children In Need, but unfortunately, the 30-somethings from Ireland who still […]

Paul McCartney finally managed to get rid of the “one-legged bitch”, (his words not mine allegedly) Heather Mills last month, when she was awarded almost $50 million to shut up and go away.
Although she seems to be determined to keep herself in the press by bitching about McCartney at every opportunity, he seems to be […]

Amy Winehouse Set For Two Glastonbury Sets? | Caviar Helped Cure Skin Condition

Amy Winehouse continues her fight to keep the tabloid newspaper and music magazine journalists (as well as simple bloggers such as me) in gainful employment.
Today, we have two pieces of gossip about her which are doing the rounds. While I can’t state categorically that either are true, I feel it is at least my duty […]

The Feeling Live In Manchester Gig Review | Academy 1 - March 13th 2008

The Feeling are a band who are never going to be cool, never going to get on the cover of NME, and never going to be the next big thing.
