Every so often, you'll hear a noise coming from over there, and on investigation it turns out it's Qtrax making an announcement. You'll recall they've launched more times than a Cornish lifeboat, without ever having quite properly developing a business. Having pledged, seriously and honestly, that they'd be under way in January , they're now back, with a new logo which makes them look a little like a 1980s financial services corporation, and a new business model: “Advertisers are looking for concepts and people that accommodate their needs,” says boss Allan Klepfisz. “Qtrax has a [...]

Taylor is ready to launch her new album, Little Miracle , very soon [...]

Lourdes is getting her piece of the pie from Madonna's empire and putting her first leg in the business. The daughter is launching a line with Macy's boringly yet aptly titled Material Girl.

Who would be as mad as to launch a paper publication into this economy? Besides The London Weekly team, of course, who are probably already certified. This is Fake DIY aren't mad , but they are joining in with a paper frenzy in the shape of a half-newspaper, half-fanzine, half-freesheet affair. Issue 0 is available in a limited run, read-and-pass-on format on the streets of London; issue 1 proper is due soon.

The big tech announcement of the day - oh, alright, if you discount Honey, iBlew Up The iPhone, is that We7 is launching a premium, ad-free service in direct competition to Spotify. The headline price is lower - £4.99 a month against Spotify's £9.99. But the main impetus to upgrade to a paid account is less the loss of ads, and more the ability to suck music to a mobile. And this is, in We7 parlance, "Premium Plus" (a premium on a premium?) and will cost another fiver. In other words: it's the same price as [...]

After all this waiting, and despite the clear indications from HQ that they can't afford the free streaming at the heart of the service much longer, MySpace Music has launched its UK variant . The slogan sounds oddly familiar: MySpace Music has launched in Britain with a "Get Real Close" campaign Get Real Close? Is that closer than you'd get with HMV's Get Closer campaign, or is it not quite as close? The idea of launching the UK site now is, erm, perfectly clear: "This is indicative of the [...]

Niki Jones (he's a he, btw) went along to the launch night for a "video game" where some bands played. He almost managed to see both of them, and details his experience in an amusing manner thusaway: Shoreditch is known for several things: curry houses, dotcom companies, floppy hair dos and unfeasibly tight jeans. But it's not a place known for its undead problem (unlike nearby Dalston). Tonight, however, the place is positively swarming with the rotting buggers, though fortunately for the general public someone seems to have herded them up and put them behind the [...]
