The charming people at Sony Records reacted to the news of the death of Whitney Houston in the only way they knew how. By jacking up the price of her records . The Guardian reports: The music giant is understood to have lifted the wholesale price of Houston's greatest hits album, The Ultimate Collection, at about 4am California time on Sunday. This meant that the iTunes retail price of the album automatically increased from £4.99 to £7.99. Cynical? No no, says a Sony Insider, talking from Houston's bedroom where they were trying on the dead woman's shoes: [...]

Since we heard the tragic news that one of the greatest pop artists has passed away we have been scouring the internet for any clues as to what the cause of death was. She seemed like she was on a healthier track and 48 is way too young for someone to die. First there was those pictures of her sweaty night out where Whitney Houston looked liked she had blood on her leg, we dismissed it as red wine in the beginning and then took a closer at the night. It's not like she was on a downward spiral like [...]

Photo and autograph courtesy of the G Archives. Whitney Houston It's so sad to hear about the death of singer Whitney Houston. She had so much talent and unfortunately got hooked on drugs which lead to her slow and steady demise. What a tragic waste. I met Whitney in the 1990s when The Bodyguard was at the top of the charts. She was performing at a benefit in Los Angeles and I was lucky enough to see her rehearsing "I Will Always Love You." She sang [...]

The iconic singer leaves behind a rich legacy.

Nephelium is a phenomenal band. They seamlessly blend new techniques with tried-and-true methods of classic death metal. Being labled as "Metal juggarnauts" suits Nephelium , the way they combine classic death metal growls with punishing guitars, and unmerciful drumming. Their newest album, Coils of Entropy harks back to classic death metal bands such as their influencers Death, and Suffocation . They're not just brutal, but slam your head against the wall fantastic. With vocals that often break down to animalistic roars and screeches, punching guitar riffs backed by some of the best double [...]

Mirel is a 23 year old singer, born in Ethiopia and raised in Finland, who released her self-titled record on Bon Voyage records in October, a collection of chillingly haunting songs that fit the icy [...]

Benny Hill in his sixties heyday. "The notion that Benny was a lonely man is so depressing and wrong. He just liked his own company. He was very happy walking alone, living alone, eating alone, taking holidays alone and going to see shows alone. I often wonder whether he needed anybody else in his life at all…except perhaps a cameraman". - Bob Monkhouse On Easter Sunday morning in 1992, and just two hours after he had been speaking to a television producer [...]

by Polly Bresnick Etta James, who passed away last week, could not only sing with searing soul that simultaneously strikes fear and sorrow and strength into the hearts of anyone who hears her voice, but she also bridged the gap between R&B and Rock & Roll back when people were still impressed by that kind of feat, way back when a band of light-skinned black girls was called the "Creolettes," way back when the song title "Roll With Me Henry" was so suggestive for a fourteen-year-old girl to sing, that the title was changed for [...]

What was meant to be the first album he'd have had significant label backing for after plugging away in the Canadian underground for a decade, has instead turned out to be his last. This is obviously a delicate record to analyse, but whatever the background, [...]
