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 […]

Paul McCartney finally played live in Israel on Thursday September 25th, 2008, over 40 years since The Beatles were banned from the country for their potential to corrupt the country’s young people. But, was this high profile gig an honourable peace protest, or was it just a pretentious publicity stunt from McCartney?

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Noel Gallagher was assaulted by a fan at the V Festival at Toronto Island Park, Canada, on September 7th. The man rushed the stage midway through Oasis’ headlining set and pushed the guitarist to the floor during Morning Glory.
Noel landed awkwardly on his monitor speakers and suffered from a suspected fractured rib and some ligament […]

The Feeling are a strange band, and I mean that in the best sense of the word. They are a proper band, who all play instruments, and who write their own material, but they’re derided by the fascist music press because they are clearly ‘pop’ and proud of it.
I would classify them as indie pop, […]

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 […]
