The Evening Standard top 1000 tries to determine the most important and powerful figures from the world of politics, art, culture sport – I’m not really sure how relevant the top is, but it’s definitely not very far off. According to them, rapper Plan B sits in the top 20, just between James Bond actor Daniel Craig and comedy writer and director Armando Iannucci. Plan B, real name Ben Drew is the highest musician on…
Robbie Williams’ “Candy” breaks record, but gets banned from BBC
Robbie Williams’ comeback single ‘Candy’ has become the fastest-selling single by a male artist this year after 137,000 copies were snapped up this week, but was banned from BBC Radio 1. I kinda like Robin Williams. Not really my kind of music, maybe not even my kind of guy, but he’s got talent flowing through his every pore, and he really likes to take it to the edge – and over it. This is the…
Daniel Bedingfield gets naked in his new video: Secret Fear
Source Daniel Bedingfield relapses again by deciding to get naked for his new video, where he appears with a sexy, beautiful naked girl, playing the game of love, passion and fury. Looks like he has a thing for appearing naked – he did it the first time in his other video, Rocks Off, where a bunch of horny girls actually rip off all of his clothes. I really like the video’s…
New Green Day video and single from “Twilight” soundtrack
Source Green Day released a new video for the song “The Forgotten” – a video with scenes from Twilight: Breaking Dawn-Part 2. Somehow, I think that this event covers the fact they canceled all their scheduled live concerts for the following months, although the second part of their album trilogy: ‘¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré!, is due to come out on November 12th. Mike Dirnt, the bands bassist, talks about taking part of…
Listen to the new Crystal Castles song: Affection
Source. Crystal Castles The song “Affection” is the latest Crystal Castles’ third album, ‘III’ , which will be out on November 12th (see Crystal Castles reveal new album) – they postponed the release date actually with a few more days than they originally announced. In my opinion, this song is different from Plague (from the same album), which only makes me more curious about the other songs from this new album….

The wedding dress Poor Amy Winehouse (I just can’t believe how many things happen in Amy’s “absence”), some burglars have broken into her former home, in Camden-North London, and stolen two dresses worth £130,000: one of them is her wedding dress, worn by her at her Miami marriage in 2006, and the other one she wore during a performance on Later… with Jools Holland later, same year.

New Soundgarden song: Non-State Actor
Source It seems that 2012 is a great year for those bands with a history in the music industry to reunite or to release a new album after a break that lasted years (Dead Can Dance for example). So, Soundgarden decided to release a new album together – which is great news. But hey, if this doesn’t impress you, well listen to their new song and then we’ll talk about it. …
Taylor Swift moves one million in a week. Again.
So Taylor Swift has sold 1.2 million copies of her latest album, Red. She, of course, did this two years ago, as well. While it is impressive, it’s also telling: Swift gets rewarded (greatly) for essentially putting out the same collection of songs every coupla years. She hasn’t really evolved or grown as a songwriter. The real story of the week is the runner up to her: Kendrick Lamar, who’s fan-fucking-tastic LP good kid, m.A.A.d…

Source In a recent interview for The Guardian,answering the question:”What’s missing in the world”, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler replies: Is that people don’t get laid enough…It’s not just about coming and effing – it’s about making love and unbridled passion. The world doesn’t make love enough…I’m not socially relevant but I write about love and passion – and it’s fun! It’s what I think a rock’n’roll band should be. In his autobiography,…
