    Looks like everyone is jumping on the free music give away band wagon. The band Coldplay will also be giving away a new song "Violet Hill" from their upcoming album. To one up everyone else, their give away comes as a 7-inch vinyl that will be included with the upcoming issue of the New Musical Express. Another track featured on the record will be "A Spell A Rebel Yell" and is said to only be available on here. Coldplay's new album will be released June 16. [Source]


    British pop singer Amy Winehouse leaves Snaresbrook Crown Court in East London, Jan. 18, 2008. The husband of singer Amy Winehouse, Blake Fielder-Civil, was set for appearance at Snaresbrook Crown Court charged with perverting the course of justice.T
    This really should be under the "Just For Laughs" category because this has got to be a joke. It seems as though Amy Winehouse was voted the ultimate heroine among the youth of the UK. I think they left out a word though, shouldn't it had said "ultimate heroine addict?" This isn't even referring to her drug abuse though if it were, she would have been ranked accordingly. This is referring to the fact that people think she has hero like qualities. In a poll conducted by Sky.com, the singer was rated higher than Princess Diana in the top heroine category. An explanation as to why, from Phychologist Donna Dawson suggest that it "
    seems to portray a certain sense of vulnerability or having had to fight against some adversity in their lives." Didn't she just get video taped the other day smokin' or snortin' or both of the above? I'm sorry but this has got to be a leftover April Fools Day prank. [Source]


    I have been a long time fan of R. Kelly (music only) but sometimes this guy can really go off the deep end. If you ask me, "who can take any subject and make it a smash hit?" I would immediately reply R. Kelly. However his latest single "Hair Braider" is a smash without the hit. As I'm listening to this song I can't help but to wonder WTH he is talking about. Check out the new video for yourself but I swear he's talking about a stripper.
