| Music News | |
| Thursday, 24 September 2009 | |
 It’s been quite a while since Britney Spears did something important with her career other then wondering around in bikini, flashing her things for the paparazzi. However she’s now concentrating on her career again and it seems she’s already lunching a new album, hopefully in November 2009, MTV.com reports: While she's still on the road promoting her most recent album, Circus, through September 27 in Las Vegas (and in Australia through November 29), Britney Spears is already breaking out yet another new release. The pop star will celebrate her 10 years in the game by releasing The Singles Collection on November 24, and a new single, "3," is set to come out next Tuesday. According to a release posted on BritneySpears.com , The Singles Collection will be available for purchase as a standard set and a packaged box set. The standard set will include 17 of her biggest hits. The ultimate fan box set will contain all 29 of Spears' singles individually packaged in slip sleeves with their original artwork and B-sides or remixes. The box set will also include a DVD with all of Brit's videos from past to present and a photo booklet with various photos spanning her career. Spears released her first greatest-hits collection, My Prerogative, back in 2004. Britney recorded "3" with Max Martin, the mastermind behind her legendary pop tune, "... Baby One More Time." In mid-July, Spears tweeted a message hinting at her collaboration with the producer. "Back in the studio with Max!" said Spears while in Sweden on her Circus tour, which Spears' camp claims is the highest-grossing tour of 2009. Well, at least she’s trying to make things right and although there’s a long way to become again the World Pop Princess, you have to give her credit for trying… |

| Jay-Z disagrees with Lil Mama On Stage Invasion at the VMA |
| Music News | |
| Thursday, 24 September 2009 | |
 It seems Jay-Z is not very happy with Lil Mama Invasion at the VMAs, as he called Angie Martinez’s Hot 97 Radio Show to talk for the first time about the incident. If you’re not up do date you should know that Lil Mama was so overwhelmed with inspiration when she saw Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performing live on the VMAs stage, that she couldn’t help herself not to go right beside them and sing along, MTV.Com reports: During the MTV Video Music Awards on September 13, Lil Mama crashed the stage during the show's finale, the debut performance of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind." Jay called Angie Martinez's Hot 97 radio show to talk for the first time about Mama's move. "To interrupt that moment for us, I don't think that was the right thing to do," Jay said. Jay also compared the Mama incident to Kanye West spoiling Taylor Swift's winning moment. "It was a lot of planning that went into that performance. To disrupt that was outta line," he said. Hov also said Mama's actions angered him, but there wasn't much he could do when she came onstage uninvited. "What I'mma do, fight Lil Mama?" Mama told MTV News, in the wake of the incident, that she came onstage because she was overwhelmed with inspiration. Alicia Keys told the "Today" show that she and Jay wished Mama had stayed in the crowd. "We can appreciate her being overwhelmed and inspired," Keys said, "but we would have appreciated it if she would have did it from her seat." Well, at least she didn’t trash Jay-Z performance, like Kanye West did, although Lil Mama should know better not to interfere with someone else’s performance, especially when there’s Jay-Z on stage. Pretty dumb. |

| Find out 20 things you didn't know about the Beatles! |
| Music News | |
| Tuesday, 08 September 2009 | |
 For those of you who are still listen to the Fabulous Four , here are some facts you may not know about them : 1. Impossible as it may sound there are still Beatles songs unreleased - the most notable ones being Carnival of Light (an experimental piece recorded on 5 January 1967 for The Million Volt Light and Sound Rave) and a 27-minute jam of Helter Skelter. A John Lennon composition the three surviving Beatles worked on in the early '90s prior to the Anthology release called Grow Old with Me also remains unreleased. 2. The Beatles (or at least half of it) sang for the Rolling Stones: Lennon and Paul McCartney provided backing vocals to the 1967 single We Love You. 3. Besides writing hundreds of songs for the Beatles, Lennon and McCartney also wrote dozens of songs for other artistes such as From A Window (Billy J. Kramer with The Dakotas), One and One Is Two (The Strangers with Mike Shannon), Step Inside Love and It's For You (Cilla Black), Come and Get It (Badfinger) and Woman (Peter and Gordon). 4. The Beatles’ third studio album A Hard Day’s Night is the only one to exclusively contain Lennon-McCartney compositions. 5. Paul is not McCartney's first name, James is. Lennon changed his middle name from Winston to Ono after marrying Yoko Ono in 1969. |

| Duran Duran expect big things from their Kaiser Chiefs collaboration |
| Music News | |
| Monday, 29 June 2009 | |
 The group are currently in the studio with producer Mark Ronson and are delighted with their recent writing session with the 'I Predict A Riot' hitmakers' drummer Nick Hodgson. Keyboardist Nick Rhodes said: "We did half a day's writing with Nick from the Kaiser chiefs, which was fun. He's a friend of Mark's and he thought we'd be able to do something different with him. "We got some really good things from it actually, it's not finished yet but they'll definitely make the album." The 'Rio' star also revealed they have to keep an eye on Mark around the musical equipment in the studio. He added to BANG Showbiz: "Mark is just producing but he did have some shakers out the other day and you've got to watch him around those. "There won't be a brass section on the record unlike things Mark's done before - but he did say he wants it to sound like Duran Duran." Duran Duran play Edinburgh Castle on July 16 and the Lovebox Weekender in London, which takes place between July 18-19. Tickets for the latter are available from www.lovebox.net |
