T here's some satire for you bitch. " A rianna Huffington: Sunday Roundup The difference between Sarah Palin's reaction to Rahm Emanuel's ill-advised use of the word "retarded" (directed at liberals), and Rush Limbaugh's use of the word (directed at advocates for the mentally handicapped) speaks volumes. When it was reported that Emanuel used the word in a private meeting -- one time -- Palin quickly took to Facebook and, mentioning Emanuel by name, called on President Obama to fire him. When Limbaugh repeatedly used the term on his radio show, Palin did [...]
Filed under: Down the Front! Location: 310 Uxbridge Road, London W12 7LJ Website: http://www.bushhallmusic.co.uk / Capacity: 400 Come to see: It's difficult to pin down any 'typical' sort of band to play Bush Hall, one of the most highly-regarded small venues in the capital. Granted, the west London club has long enjoyed a reputation as a hub of folk-tinged fare, with shows from the likes of Sufjan Stevens , Kurt Wagner, [...]
Filed under: News After four months of social networking silence , Lily Allen has rejoined the Twitterverse. She greeted her nearly two million followers with a simple "hello. I'm back" on Tuesday morning . Reactivating her account, the pop singer informed her followers that she was back in London after her Australian tour and will be working on "some really exciting stuff."
It's January 31st, and I am pretty sick right now. I have been pushing aside doing write ups for my top albums of 2009. I just haven't been able to find the time. It is late January and I am just getting my list out now. The blurbs would feel forced if I got them out by today, so I decided not to force the issue and to just give you the list without blurbs. 2009 was a pretty good year in music overall. I spent countless hours with these albums making great memories with my friends, and [...]
La prima versione risale a dicembre del 2008, erano i tempi del lancio di It's not me, It's you e la maggioranza di voi lo ha gradito quando lo abbiamo proposto su SoundsBlog . Ora Lily Allen fa bis e rilancia con una seconda versione del video di The Fear . La clip rientra nell'ambito della campagna promozionale di un videogame: il pezzo di Lily figura infatti nella tracklist di Lips - Number One Hits , popolare game canterino (un karaoke in versione high-tech per intenderci) per la console Xbox di [...]
Apologies to all our readers, I've been out in LA this week and haven't had the time to post. You can't blame me, it's hard to think about blogging while driving down Pacific highway or walking around Venice beach, it's just not gonna happen. Nevertheless, I woke up early because I didn't want to leave you guys hanging. I did a post back in our early days about the complex nature of fame and success, given that SoCal is probably the pinnacle of this I thought it would be cool to bring that back, enjoy. I saw a [...]

Filed under: News , Video of the Day , UK Proving that the concept of "mellowing with age" is just something that happens to other people, one-time Creation Records boss Alan McGee has lambasted this year's Brits Awards nominations and called for the ceremony to be scrapped. In a passionate rant, he told the Daily Record , "They should get rid of the Brits and start again with 20 music journalists who actually care about music getting together, instead of a bunch of self-interested record company people who just vote [...]
I went to my first Big Day Out on Australia Day and although it was an interesting experience I'm not sure that I'll bother with it again. Let me explain. After getting the merch hunting out of the way, we headed to the Green Stage and were in time to check out The Temper Trap who came on not long after we found a patch of shade on the side of the hill. I like 'Sweet Disposition' and I was interested to see how they perform live. I don't know if it was because we were so far [...]
If anyone knows how to smooth a groove out and put it on ice, it's Dr. Rosen Rosen , who my Muusers may remember from last year's brilliant Lily Allen It's Not Me, It's You remix project . Well, he's back-and this time, it's official. Taking the otherwise manic original, the good doctor has taken Lady Gaga 's new single "Telephone" and added a nasty stomp, some extra electro bells and whistles, and an insane , telephonic electronic breakdown. Et voilà! A brand new mix for mass consumption. [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News The UK's Mumford and Sons topped Australia's biggest music poll on Tuesday with their banjo-led ballad 'Little Lion Man.' Hosted by radio station Triple J, the Hottest 100 countdown for 2009 saw the nu-folk band win by the biggest margin in the countdown's 20-year history. With over 1.1 million votes entered by Triple J listeners at home and around the world, Mumford and Sons surpassed Sydney dance trio Art vs. Science with 'Parlez Vous Francais?' [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Movies Devon's premier purveyors of gloriously overblown prog, Muse , are looking to an unlikely source of inspiration for their next live DVD -- none other than Nirvana 's 1994 tour documentary, 'Live! Tonight! Sold Out!' Although no strangers to live DVDs -- 'Hullabaloo', 'Absolution Tour' and 'H.A.A.R.P.' have all been released over the last eight years -- Muse are now keen to take a different approach for their next audio-visual release. Currently on tour in Australia [...]
Bye, bye beard-rock. The indie scene isn't the boys club it used to be, thanks to an influx of new female talent spanning from over-the-top pop divas to whimsical crooners. Or, as Telepathe so succinctly suggested when they visited our studio last year, the era of "cavemen making noise music" is a thing of the distant past. Indeed, Telepathe were on to something, or rather, they were part of something. In 2009 alone, we saw releases from Florence and the Machine, Neko Case, Fever Ray, Bat for Lashes, Micachu & The Shapes, Dirty Projectors, Sleigh Bells, The [...]
Tiny Vipers From: Seattle, Washington, United States The year may still be in it's infancy but it's already shaping up to be another year of the electro-pop female. The global success of Lady Gaga , Ladyhawke , Lily Allen , La Roux , Pixie Lott is influencing a generation of female singer songwriters to leap onto the bandwagon like an olympic long jumper on steroids (yes Ellie Goulding I do mean you!). Thankfully there [...]

A very British music event, February 16th sees the annual Brit Awards head over to London`s Earls Court Arena, promising a heady mix of mainstream pop and indie crossovers. Essentially hit or miss live TV, who can forget moments like Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott having cold water poured over him by the annoying and mildly controversial Chumbawamba or Jarvis Cocker waving his backside towards Michael Jackson`s vommit inducing performance of Earth Song. All of this years nominees can be found HERE . "The BRIT [...]
Christ on a Christmas cracker-the 2010 BRIT Award nominations are in! I can't believe it's time already for the ceremony to begin once again. It seems like only yesterday I was sitting in my bed watching in disbelief as Gaga robo-danced her way on stage with pieces of shattered china plates glued to her lady bits. Ahh , memories. As per usual ( see 2009 ), I've gone ahead and bolded my favorites for the crown and added a few insightful comments and/or snooty one-liners to the end of each category. [...]
