Keane - ‘Perfect Symmetry’ Album Review

The new Keane album, Perfect Symmetry, is out on Monday October 13th but due to Last.FM streaming the album in full (albeit with added commentary from the band), I’ve been able to review it ahead of time.
I found reviewing the album quite difficult because it’s hard to forget about what has already been. If […]

New Robbie Williams Album Due In 2009 | The Question Is: Does Anyone Care?

Robbie Williams was once the cream of British Pop talent. Adored by millions of teenage girls while in Take That, he found incredible success when he decided to go solo, and at one time, was the best thing since sliced bread.
And then he moved to L.A., lost touch with reality, lost songwriter Guy Chambers, […]

Oasis - ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ Album Review

The new Oasis album, Dig Out Your Soul, is released on Monday October 6th, but thanks to a preview screening on Oasis’ MySpace page, I’ve been able to review the album early.
Dig Out Your Soul is a strange beast because it is clearly Oasis, with hints of Britpop and old skool in there, but there’s […]

Elbow - ‘One Day Like This’ Video Review

Elbow are a long-standing British group who have kind of passed me by so far, hence I’m only just reviewing this single, One Day Like This, even though it’s been out a few months. I’m sure I’m not alone in only really taking notice of the band after they won the 2008 Mercury Music Prize […]

Oasis ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ As Good As The Beatles ‘Revolver’ - Find Out On MySpace

The new Oasis album, Dig Out Your Soul, is as good as The Beatles classic album, Revolver, often cited as the Fab Four’s best long player.
At least that’s the opinion on Alan McGee, the former boss of Creation records who signed Oasis to his record label after seeing them play live in Glasgow in […]

Keane - ‘Spiralling’ Live On Jonathan Ross

The new Keane album, Perfect Symmetry, is due out on October 13th, and this song, Spiralling, is the first single to be released from it. In the absence of any kind of official video (at least from what I’ve found online), I’ve had to make do with a video of the band performing the song […]

Will Young - ‘Changes’ Music Video Review

Will Young is one of the few winners of the whole Simon Cowell reality show (Pop Idol, X-Factor) phenomenon to emerge from it all with a career. Not only that but he’s become accepted as an artist in his own right rather than merely the winner of Pop Idol 2002. Well, at least until folk […]

Snow Patrol In Happy Record Shocker? | ‘A Hundred Million Suns’ Is Change Of Direction

Snow Patrol are, without doubt, one of the best bands to emerge from the UK over the past few years. But, what has stopped me falling completely and utterly head over heels in love with them is that the songs are all so sad. Seriously, cheer up will you, it might never happen.
The Scottish and […]

M.I.A. - ‘Paper Planes’ Music Video Review

You may be wondering: Why the hell is he reviewing this song when it’s been out for months? But that’s the thing, it only came out in the US months ago - us Brits have had to wait until now for our chance to buy in to the whole M.I.A. vibe. Which is why Paper […]

Cliff Richard Scores Top 10 Hit With ‘Thank You For A Lifetime’ | Six Decades Of Success

I don’t know how many of my non-British readers or non-over the age of 40 readers are going to know who I’m talking about in this post, but here goes nothing. Sir Cliff Richard has notched up a top ten hit with his new single, Thank You For A Lifetime. Why is this news? Because […]
