Didn't you get the note about the LEGAL name change? Here is the clip:

According to a statement from the band, "Representatives from the Chinese government have revoked the performance licenses already issued for the band and ordered their shows in both Beijing and Shanghai to be immediately canceled".

Oasis has a good swipe at the Royal Family on the latest video for "Falling Down". Directed by WIZ, the clip shows a fake royal princess being completely snubbed by the band at an event that they are both attending. She goes to shake their hands and gets well...nothing but a stare. They've even managed to throw in a little bit of real life too with Prince Charles being spliced into the mix at the end. Here is the video:

Florence and the Machine teamed up with Mark Ronson at the Diesel U:Music Studios to do a lovely cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone". Florence of course adds an absolutely lovely set of pipes to her take on the pop classic. This song might be covered almost as often as "Umbrella" was back in the day or Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy".
