La settimana di vendita dei dischi in Europa conferma le tendenze già in atto. Risale però Lady Gaga , con il suo singolo " Telephone" che vede la partecipazione di Rihanna : il brano riconquista paesi che aveva perduto dopo l'uscita sul mercato di brani dell'Eurofestival. E cuiriosamente, proprio quando Edward Maya ha lanciato il secondo singolo, torna in testa da più parti il primo, " Stereo love". In Italia resistono i ragazzi di " Amici !", premiati dal mercato ma non dall'airplay radiofonico mentre l'inglese Cheryl Cole conquista [...]

Here at Musick Towers our internet connection appears to currently be powered by two mice, running furiously on tiny wheels, so this edition of the award-winning New Musick Monday may be cut short at any moment. With that in mind, let's cut the crap and get right to the good stuff; Rufus Wainwright was last week's real winner, entering at number 21, whilst She & Him and Darwin Deez both bowed at number 62, the former on the album chart and the latter in the singles version. So, who's stepping up to the plate [...]

Sono una delle band giovani più belle del panorama britannico attuale e nel 2008 sono stati nominati agli MTV Awards come miglior gruppo esordiente e l'anno dopo ai Brit Awards con l'album eponimo. Adesso gli Scouting for girls ritornano con un singolo subito schizzato in testa alle classifiche inglesi. " This ain't a love song " ha tutto per piacere al grande pubblico: è un pop di notevole spessore, molto radiofonico, molto medoerno, con un arrangiamento molto ben costruito. Il singolo annuncia l'album di prossima uscita " Everybody wants to be on [...]

Following on from the amazing lineups of the past two years , the Mencap Little Noise sessions are back again this November to raise more money for the mental disability charity. The lineup is almost complete, with a string of pretty amazing performances scheduled. Personally, I'm most excited about Editors day, along with the pop-tastic Alexandra Burke, Mika and Newton Faulkner days - all of the shows have great talent and with the promise of special guests, I say you should hop on down to Union Chapel to check out some great music. Head [...]

Ahh...The Brits. Perhaps more famous for Jarvis Cocker's stage invasion, or Arctic Monkey 's drunken speeches rather than for it's showcasing of the best of British music. Either way, every year it certainly proves an interesting watch and this 2009, the controversial show will be presented by disco diva, Kylie Minogue and Gavin and Stacey stars, Mathew Horne and James Corden. There will be performances from Kings of Leon , U2 and Take That [...]

Hailing from Leeds, weighing in at a combined weight of some are hard rockers, The Plight . Bassist, Sean Loughlin took some time out to talk about his year in rock 'n' roll. What was your highlight of 2008? Breaking the speed limit on my bike, signing on and touring with Converge (in that order). What's the worst thing that happened to you in 2008? [...]
I filmed a Heypenny gig for them once. Do you want to see? Look, you can! No one has invited me to be a camera operator yet, I am not sure why. [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] They're that nice off kilter pop thing that my ex girlfriend loves. She probably loves Heypenny. I just quite like them. The Slips remix takes Heypenny out of that "nearly cheesy" territory and makesit kinda, [...]

i got to give them motherfuckers something good tonight. so i typed 'rain' into Google Images, hoping to get my e-hands on some sort of weather-related dreary picture of, you guessed it, rain but instead i appeared to have stumbled on a slightly creepy picture of a Korean pop star holding a pretty fugly/upset-looking dog. the poor thing looks like it's it's just been molested - and hard! anywho, moving away from the touchy (literally) topic of molested puppies, the point of said rain picture was to symbolize how a [...]

Toronto - I am a sucker for the words "Indie Pop" and "UK". Despite countless disappointments, I always will myself to give bands with those tags a chance. This leads me to the UK trio Scouting For Girls . Apparently popular across the pond, the London based band released a self titled album earlier this year courtesy of Epic. Hows the cd? it sounds like the Kooks. If you have read my Kooks review , you know I am not a big fan of it. I mean, this album, the Kooks, Cajun Dance Party, [...]

I've been eyeing up my wife's foot spa today. All those soft soapy bubbles and vibration. You see, as part of my work I walk miles. I drive miles too, but I've yet to see a dedicated bum spa.....so a foot spa will have to suffice. My feet are killing me (if you hadn't already guessed) and [...]
