I love and hate John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten in equal measures. Yes, he’s over the hill and should have stopped ranting on stage as lead singer of the Sex Pistols a long time ago. And yes, he only says things to cause controversy and buy himself and his band some cheap publicity. But he […]
Glastonbury 2008 was a bit of a mixed bag - with poor ticket sales meaning there were still places for the festival available on the day it started, but some outstanding performances from artists such as Amy Winehouse, Editors, and The Verve ultimately saving the day. The weather was also okay after an initial downpour.

Radiohead have received almost nothing but praise for challenging music industry standards when they released In Rainbows on to the Internet last year, and invited people to pay what they wanted for the privilege of downloading the album.
In effect, this meant you could nab a brand new album by one of the best British […]
Coldplay have managed to reach number one in the American singles chart with Viva La Vida, the title track from their new album. This is despite claims of plagiarism from a US band called Creaky Boards and despite, or maybe because of criticism from album producer Brian Eno.
The song was sitting at number two last […]

Muse released Black […]
Paul McCartney has had a mixed last few years, having been married to Heather Mills, and then going through a very messy, very public divorce.
While all of this was going on, he was still writing and recording music, and released Memory Almost Full in 2007.
The album has already sold 100,000 copies in the […]
Radiohead pioneered the idea of music artists forging their own path, without the need for record labels controlling everything, when they decided to allow their fans to pay what they deemed suitable for the In Rainbows album download last year.
Since then, many bands have taken up the mantle, with Prince and Nine Inch Nails the […]
When Coldplay decided to let everyone know they were back by releasing the first single, Violet Hill, from new album, Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends, as a free download, they must have known it would be huge. But I wonder if they knew quite how huge it would be, and in […]
