This is more of a Twitter-riffic post than something with enough substance to merit space on the blog, but Ben Adams, following up his crazy/brilliant video about a1's dance routines, has posted a video of a1 working on new songs that includes clips of some of the songs. They're working with David Eriksen, a Norwegian songwriter who I tend to associate with a kind of pure pop sound (several of the songs on the Saturdays' last album were by him, including "Lies" and "Set Me Off"), on that first song, which sounds more uptempo electronic than I [...]

More songwriter notes and random artist tidbits (I really am going to do more in depth posts, less "news bullet"-y, soon): Johan "Kermit" Bobäck is working with Darin on new music (he previously collaborated with him on "Seasons Fly"). Apparently British boy band a1 are reuniting for some concerts in Norway in early December and will be performing both old and (gasp!) new songs. I am not ashamed to admit I got more than a bit excited listening to the group rehearse modern [...]

i don't usualy get into the celeb reality shows, partly as i don't usually know who the 'celebs' are. the last celeb bb scraped the barrel but ended up the most controversial yet. i kind of hope standby contestant tony mortimer gets a go. ben adams was apparently in a band called A1. i don't remember them at all. i didn't remember the band ziggy from the last bb was supposedly in around the same time either. clearly i wasn't paying attention. mutya buena [...]

A brief interruption of the countdown for some VERY IMPORTANT NEWS: Ben Adams is on Celebrity Big Brother this year in the UK (hat tip to Chig ).

This is not going to help me at all on the "convincing me to give up hopes about a revived solo career that I acknowledged are most likely futile [...]

A vague couple of words speculating that LaToya Jackson might be this year's Jackson in the Big Brother house unleashed an enormous monster of a Jackson fan in the comments: You would only have to bother Googling La Toya Jackson to know that she too is representing the pop world, with 10 albums released since 1980, a Grammy nomination for her songwriting. A few people out there may also know her recent US club chart hits Just Wanna Dance and Free The World under her alias 'Toy'. She was also part of USA for Africa - [...]

I had intended to post about the Click Five today, but choosing the best of their songs was just too challenging a task; I'll probably write about them later, when I have a post more fully planned out--it'll probably stretch over a couple of days. As it is, though, I'm about to head out (my birthday today!), so here's a bit of an update on some artists. Ben Adams , formerly of a1, continues to rotate songs on and off of his MySpace with remarkable frequency. His single, [...]
