Amy Winehouse Battles ‘Quantum Of Solace’ Bond Theme By Jack White & Alicia Keys

Amy Winehouse may have had her theme tune for the next James Bond film, Quantum Of Solace, rejected recently in favour of a composition from The White Stripes Jack White and Alicia Keys, but she’s not going to take the matter lying down (in a gutter).
In fact, she’s so pissed at getting the cold […]

Liam Gallagher Slags Off Radiohead, Coldplay Fans - Must Be New Album On Way

How strange, we don’t hear a peep out of Oasis or the Gallagher brothers for months, and then as soon as a new album is on the way, they can’t keep their mouths shut. Surely after 17 years of being in the band, you’d think the pair would know better than to create some cheap […]

Dizzee Rascal To Stick With Making Pop Songs | Not Interested In U.S. Success

Rapper Dizzee Rascal recently managed to score his first number one hit with Dance Wiv Me, a collaboration with Scottish dance producer Calvin Harris. The song stayed at the top of the British charts for four weeks before being displaced by Kid Rock and the oh so derivative All Summer Long.
Unfortunately, because the song was […]

Ian Brown States No Stone Roses Reunion - For At Least Three Lifetimes AKA Ever

The Stone Roses are one of the best bands to have ever come out of Britain, but their musical legacy was pitifully small due to only two albums being produced before they split up. Although that was way back in 1996, there have been numerous calls for them to reunite from the public and band […]

The Police Split Again After Playing Final Show In New York - Is It Really The End?

We knew it was going to happen, but now that it has, it’s kind of sad. The Police announced back in May that their last date on this current tour was going to be their final gig ever, and so it has come to pass. They played Madison Square Gardens last night, and that it […]

Amy Winehouse Computer Game - ‘Escape From Rehab’ With Just A Crack Pipe

Amy Winehouse has finally got her own computer game! Sort of. She’s the star of a new Flash-based Internet game called Escape From Rehab that has been made to promote new spoof Disaster Movie. It’s a brilliant idea because it’s working - I now know about the film.
It may not be as graphically brilliant as […]

Amy Winehouse To Be Agony Aunt On Dad Mitch’s BBC Radio London Show - Sept 1st

Amy Winehouse‘ dad Mitch, an ever present in the media since his daughter started receiving some often unfair criticism and coverage, is to host his own show on BBC Radio London. And guess what - Amy has decided to play agony aunt for the day.
I wasn’t that surprised when I read that Mitch Winehouse had […]

Kaiser Chiefs New Album ‘Off With Their Heads’ | Claim British Indie Is Boring

Kaiser Chiefs have revealed details about their forthcoming album, including the name, track listing, and special guests. But on the same day, they have described the British Indie scene as “very, very boring”. But that doesn’t include them, obviously.

Kaiser Chiefs third studio album is to be called Off With Their Heads, and will be released […]

Stereophonics U.S. Tour To Promote ‘Pull The Pin’ - Re-Releasing Back Catalogue

Stereophonics have always been a favourite of mine, although the amount of love I have for them has varied with each album and change of personnel. They started off brilliantly with Word Gets Around and Performance and Cocktails, both classic albums full of hits straddling the rock and pop genres superbly.
Then came that dodgy period […]

Duffy Complains About Amy Winehouse Comparisons - Diana Ross Is Fine Though

As soon as Welsh pop starlet Duffy hit the scene with Mercy, comparisons were made with Amy Winehouse. Even I was guilty of it, describing her as ‘The New Amy Winehouse? - And Not A Junkie!‘ in the title for my review of the song on Killed By The Video Star.
It was an easy but […]
