KeUSDha has announced to everyone that the next record will see her being vulnerable : "I think that my first record was heavily influenced by Licensed To Ill and the Beastie Boys and that record is very brash and very sassy and very unapologetic and irreverent. And I love that," she told MTV. "I'm really proud of that, but I have learned over the past three years of doing this that being vulnerable doesn't mean you're weak. "I very much want to be seen as a strong woman, but I realise that vulnerability can also [...]

Wiz Khalifa posted this picture of him & The Weeknd in the studio. XO/Taylor Gang? I was just thinking if Wiz started simping a little less and doing more drugs maybe his music would get more interesting. drink the kool aid:

With five days of Halfway House remaining, BBC reports T.I. was in the studio with Skateboard P. The ever-long & winding Road To Redemption continues with a track with Big K.R.I.T. dropping Monday and hopefully more new T.I./T.I.P. soon. I'm ready to give him another chance. Are you? drink the kool aid:

Future Music visited Fred Falke in his studio back in July sit back, watch and learn

I don't think anyone saw this coming: a new album from Dexy's Midnight Runners . Except they're not called Dexy's Midnight Runners any more; nor are they going to be Kevin Rowland And Dexy's Midnight Runners, as they were for a spell. Oh, no. This is 2012, and Dexys are Dexys. It's true, as there's been a tweet: "Dexys new album. Can't really say why, because it's hard to put down to any one thing, but it's working - it's early days, but so far so good." There had been a reunion tour [...]

Kasabian are currently writing a new record. Even Serge Pizzorno sounds like he can barely cope with the stench : Speaking to NME in a video which you can see at the top of your screen, the guitarist said how the album was written: "I feel like I wasn't even there, like a spirit came down and took over, I'd just be milling about and I'd wake up in the morning and go 'Who's done that?' I really feel like a spirit wrote the album." "...or possibly it was hoodlums. Maybe some hoodlums broke in [...]

When approaching the production of his next record - yes, he's made another one - James Morrison wanted to forget . Yes, James, you make us all want to forget. Speaking at the Sony Radio Academy Awards, he told BANG Showbiz: "It's my favourite piece of work so far, I tried to forget what I'd learned before and do what I wanted to do in the first place, but I didn't have any experience to do." Sadly, the things he forgot only seem to include technical stuff. He didn't forget where the studio was, or [...]

Audiovisuals// Pete and the Pirates in the studio Perhaps this hints at how 'One Thousand Pictures' will sound, perhaps it doesn't. Not least it portrays the recording of Pete and the Pirates' second album to be a free, easy-going experience, it also hints somewhat at a fast-paced, get-up-and-dance sound with ' United ' as its backing track, which'd be much welcomed.

NPR have got the first, proper recording from Wild Flag. If you need a prompt: [T]he recently formed band featuring former NPR Music blogger and Sleater-Kinney guitarist Carrie Brownstein, Mary Timony (Helium), Janet Weiss (Quasi, Sleater-Kinney) and Rebecca Cole (The Minders). Oh, yes. The album is coming out on Record Store Day, but NPR have a taste to dip your beak into . [via @sleepssundays ] -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

Why hasn't there been an Avril Lavigne record since 2007? Well, yes, I'm sure that "nobody was interested in buying one" might be part of it, but really it turns out she's been getting life experience so she had something to write about. So, what has she been doing? Taken a job in a small town supermarket? Climbed a mountain? Studied astrophysics? No, it appears her "life experience" was marrying another minor celebrity and then divorcing the same minor celebrity: She said: "I've taken my time on this record, with [...]

Talking to the NME , Chris Martin looks at his work to date: "We still don't think we've delivered our masterpiece, so we're still trying to do it," Martin said. "As long as we feel like that and we're hungry… that's all that matters." I don't think Coldplay have delivered a masterpiece. On that, I'm sure we can all agree. The point of difference is that Chris Martin doesn't seem to have realised Coldplay have peaked. -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

The idea of Madonna starting up the machine that's been churning out horrible music for the last few years is enough to cope with on a miserable Sunday. We all could have done without this mental image : "Its official! I need to move. I need to sweat. I need to make new music! Music I can dance to." The thought of Madonna having her typing minion fire up Facebook to announce that she's preparing to gush sweat from whatever pores have survived the flesh cauterizing processes she's been through fair puts me off my cheesecake.

Here's something worrying - apparently Razorlight are making a new album : Johnny [Borrell] told radio station Xfm: "Big bands get too serious about things. You get very self important and rock and roll is not worth taking too seriously." I know we should be polite and say something encouraging like "You, Johnny? Self-important? Oh, never ", but... well, yes. Yes, you're right. "The last album was a breakup album and I'm not breaking up with anybody at the moment, thank God, so this is another party album." Another party album? [...]

MGMT's second album wasn't quite such a till-tickling success as their debut (indeed, Target seem to be denying Congratulations ever existed and are still shelving Oracular Spectacular on their shelf for introducing new acts.) This probably explains, though doesn't excuse, why Sony are trying to tug the chain for album number three : Andrew told the [Daily Record's showbiz column] Razz: "I definitely think our music will change in the future because Congratulations is almost two years old now. "We have some ideas and have been talking about possible directions of where to [...]

Blimey, the process of making a Kings Of Leon album sounds just crazy : "It was kind of a depressing experience. If we'd made it is Nashville, we'd be out playing basketball or goofing off. Here, I'd wake up and hail a cab to the studio, then spend 12 hours a day in a room with no windows. "It felt like we were going to the office. But that can be good as well as bad." You know what, when someone says 'buy my record, made in depressing circumstances in a windowless room which [...]
