Does nobody police the Press Complaints Commission code of practice any more? Has the rotten performance of Buscombe And Her Editor Chums been so dispiriting they've even stopped pretending they're keeping an eye on thing? For why else would Gordon be running a picture of Elton John and David Furnish's kid , which is there for no reason other than his parents being famous? Oh, there's a horrible joke, too. The child is wearing a lifejacket, and the Bizarre team have come up with this headline: Don't let the son go drown on [...]

![[Album Review/Listen] – Portugal. The Man – "In The Mountain, In The Cloud"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3617065_lg.jpg)
Tweet Buy the album from Amazon- Vinyl | MP3 | CD Since their inception in 2006, Alaska's Portugal. The Man have been working overtime. They've produced an album a year and several EPs in between, and with each record have further crafted their explorative, highly creative sound. Last year's "American Ghetto" was a trippy gem of psychedelic rock. Now, not without controversy and nervous comments from their [...]
Toronto - Ellie Goulding 's stock has been on a slow but steady climb over the past year. The electro-acoustic siren first captured some hearts last year with her dance floor track Starry Eyed . A few average singles ( The Writer, Guns and Horses ) later, She seemed destined for a comfortable Marina/Little Boots level of success before releasing her cover of Elton John's Your Song last fall. The cover was pretty much perfect - take an entirely famous song, somehow completely make it your own and then release a video highlighting how [...]
Escaping from the intense Norwegian house party that Todd Terje delivered at the Waldorf Hotel on Friday July 8th in Vancouver, we got our shit together (not really) and made it to the airport while the party was still in order to catch our 6AM flight to the land of poutine. Festival D'Ete is a huge festival (The largest outdoor festival in Canada) but highly overlooked by most because of the insular nature that Quebec "seems" to operate in. Now in its 44 th year, the music festival is extremely diverse in that it celebrates big name artists [...]
When I usually see a band as being labeled as "indie pop" I shrug it off. The label and genre has gotten much more broad with every blogger, writer, journalist and editor using it to describe almost every band's songs. I've even heard certain Cut Copy's songs being described as "indie pop." Seriously, who are [...]

TV Girl—the San Diego duo that crafted a delectable pop treat over Todd Rundgren's "Hello, It's Me," and then proceeded to get into a bit of hot water over it —continue to blur copyright lines with a new EP titled Benny and The Jetts , after the Elton John classic . Samples abound in the new four-track EP, but so do the blissful and ear-pleasing pop hooks that make standouts like "Baby You Were There" a welcome addition to any summer playlist.

Mai disturbare un cantante pronto ad esibirsi e che necessita della giusta concentrazione. Potrebbe essere riassunta così la vicenda che vede protagonista Elton John , atteso a Piazzola sul Brenta, nel padovano, per un concerto. La visione di panni bagnati stesi e di bambini che giocano, a pochi passi dall'artista, non sono stati tollerati. E così il gruppetto di zingari è stato allontanato dal giardino pubblico dove si stava per tenere l'evento. Si racconta di 4 o 5 persone con un furgone e una bambina che girava nuda nei paraggi del suo camerino, impegnati a fare il [...]

Filed under: News PA Photos British rapper Dizzee Rascal has an unlikely fan, it would appear. Musical knight Sir Elton John , is apparently, rather partial to starting the day with a good blast of the rapper's 2009 hit 'Bonkers.' Dizzee told British magazine Shortlist , "I saw him at The Ivor Novello Awards. He came up and told me that he listened to 'Bonkers' every day in the shower." [...]
Few TV shows ever have so accurately observed the condition of the suburban teenager as The Wonder Years did. One may regard the series, which ran for six seasons (from January 1988 to May 1993), as an exercise in nostalgia. Coming into the middle of a revival that celebrated the 1960s and the beginning of the '70s, it benefited from fortuitous timing, but as a story of growing up as told by an adult man, the timeframe made perfect sense. Some may accuse the show of [...]
