John Lennon was gay is the claim made by Philip Norman, the author of a new book about the dead Beatle titled John Lennon: The Life. He puts forward the theory that John Lennon wanted to have a gay relationship with his Beatles band mate Paul McCartney.
Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono and McCartney himself had helped […]

The last Radiohead album, In Rainbows, was not only musically brilliant, but was also a revelation for the way it was released. Radiohead decided to eschew giving the album its début on physical formats, and instead chose to release it on the Internet for free (or as near as damn it).
But that all happened almost […]

I love America, and the majority of the American people I have met both online and in real life. But, when I hear a story such as this, I can’t help but lose a bit of respect for the country and its inhabitants.
Chasing Pavements by Adele is an absolutely brilliant song, and deserves to be […]

Muse are probably the best band in the UK, and possibly even the world, right now. But to keep the quality of their material as high as we’ve come to expect it to be, they take an absolute age to release a new album. And it seems they are sticking true to form for the […]

I have mixed views on U2: some days I love them and some days I hate them. To be fair, most of the hate is brought on by lead singer Bono and his do-gooding ways. I’ll just never understand how someone worth millions can preach to all of us who struggle to pay our bills […]

A couple of weeks ago we reported on the rumours that Coldplay were preparing to throw out their usual strategy of keeping the fans waiting while they endlessly tinker on making the perfect album, and preparing material for a new album in 2009 - just a year after Viva La Vida was released.
The story has […]

Metallica are obviously a heavy metal band. No, scrub that, probably the best heavy metal band there has ever been. They are certainly one of the longest running and most mainstream. Oasis, on the other hand, are a Britpop band who have been brilliant and average in fairly equal measure over the years.
As different as […]

I’ve spoken quite passionately about the possibility of Led Zeppelin reuniting properly over the past year on Brit Music Scene.
Ever since the legendary rock group reformed for a one-off show at London’s 02 Arena last December in support of the Ahmet Ertegun Foundation, a full reunion tour has seemed tantalisingly close. But so far, […]

Noel Gallagher has seemed to spend the last few weeks talking about anything other than Dig Out Your Soul, the new Oasis album due out on October 6th. Along with brother Liam, he has spent more time talking about other musicians and celebrities in the hopes of gaining some much-needed publicity.
Now, finally, he has decided […]

I’m sure I’m living in some kind of time bubble as I keep experiencing deja vu, again, and again, and again. Just yesterday I reported how Amy Winehouse had hit one of her fans, yes, another one. And now Noel Gallagher has taken a pop at some of his fellow British artists. Didn’t he do […]
