Strict Joy - The Swell Season


You may probably know them as the struggling musicians in 2007 film Once and maybe for their amazing 'Falling Slowly'. They are known as The Swell Season (Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová). This is their third album, 'Strict Joy'. It will be released on October 23 in Ireland. Hansard said about the new album: 'For me, it's just an audio diary. It's just another installment of the life we lead'. The first single 'In these Arms' was released on August 18 via iTunes. Their style would classify as folk though they have this kind of powerful pop-rock voice. Glen's and Markéta's voice blends into a relaxing and I'll dear to say orgasmic album, which is definitely a must-have.

Lil Wayne to recive a one-year jail sentence

The rapper Lil Wayne has pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession, and expects to receive a one-year jail sentence. He previously had pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges that carried at least three and a half years in prison upon conviction. The gun was found by police in the tour bus while in Manhattan in 2007. His trial was due to start January 20. Wayne is prison-bound after taking a surprise and docile gun possession guilty plea this morning in return for a promise of one year behind bars. He'll be spending most of 2010 in an upstate cage. Celebrity defense lawyer Stacey Richman has repeatedly complained that the gun actually belonged to another, uncharged associate of the rapper who was on the bus and was willing to accept responsibilty for it. A tiny handful of cells (from two to 16)were swabbed off the grip and trigger and matched to Lil Wayne's own genetic profile. Lil is due back in court for a pre-sentencing proceeding on December 15, at which time a precise February sentencing date will be set by the judge.

An internet hoax that first surfaced on October 20 has spun into a massive frenzy of web rumors on social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook.

The winner's debut and lead single of his upcoming album. It was released on iTunes on September 25 and it will be fisicaly on November 17. So far it has peaked the 89 position on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is a cover from The Script's one but it's better. We all expected a soft ballad from Kris but this potential pop rock hit took us by surprise. Kris album will be definitely great.



Time for Miracles - Adam Lambert



Surprisingly finishing as the runner-up, this is his first release since Idol's 'No Boundries'. It was released on October 16 via Amazon. The song will act as the soundtrack of the upcoming film 2012. Although it is a huge song, Adam confirmed it won't be the lead single of his album. As all apocaliptical soundtracks, this song has very strong vocals and it makes us feel how the people are feeling. The suffering in Adam's voice succeeds in conveying the suffering from the movie. I can't wait to have his album!!

What happens with Residente?


The Puerto Rican singer René Pérez, who calls himself Residente, member of the duo of half brothers Calle 13 has offended various Latin American countries presidents during the Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica, held in Los Angeles. The most offending thing was that Residente wore a t-shirt which said 'Uribe paramilitar' and 'Bases'/Military bases , claiming that Uribe is part of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, commonly refered to as the guerrillas.
The colombian foreign minister said after the show: 'El mensaje presenta un contenido ofensivo y calumnioso en contra del presidente de los colombianos, lo cual constituye un agravio para su buen nombre e investidura y además es un irrespeto a la dignidad de nuestros connacionales'/The message presents an offensive and difamating content against the colombian president, which is an offense to his good name and it is also a disrespect to the dignity of our compatriots.
During the show he also attacked other presidents such as argentinian president Cristina Fernández Kirchner, who was said by Residente to leave botox, and also against venezuelan president Hugo Chavez who was nominated by his t-shirt as 'Chavez nominado a mejor artista Pop'/Chavez Nominated as Best Pop artist.

Trying not to exclude anyone he finally attacked his own president Luis Fortuño, who was that same day fighting against a strike against mass layoffs, saying this: 'Hoy los puertorriqueños marcharon contra el desempleo, porque el Gobernador de Puerto Rico los dejó sin trabajo y el gobernador de Puerto Rico es un hijo de la gran puta'/Today the Puerto Ricans march against unemployment, because the president of Puerto Rico leave them without job and the president of Puerto Rico is a son of a bitch.
Fortuño answered 'Este individuo le faltó el respeto a todas las mujeres puertorriqueñas, a todas las madres puertorriqueñas y al pueblo puertorriqueño en general'/This person disrespected all the Puerto Rican women, all the Puerto Rican mothers and the Puerto Rican people in general. The concert scheduled to be held in that city was canceled by obvious reasons.

Beyonce Delays Malaysia Concert

Beyonce has postponed a planned concert in Malaysia, the event's organizer said on October 19, following accusations by Islamic conservatives that the show would be immoral as she is worldwide known for her provocative clothes and choreography. She was scheduled to perform at a Kuala Lumpur stadium October 25. The show 'has been postponed to a future date to be announced shortly', Malaysian entertainment company Marctensia said in a statement. A Marctensia representative declined to say whether the decision was prompted by criticism from the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, the country's largest opposition group, which has called for the show to be scrapped because it would promote 'Western sexy performances'.

Face Drop is the second single from his second studio album Tomorrow, it was released to radio stations on August 18, 2009 and released digitally on iTunes on September 1, 2009. This remix features Pleasure P. I have had this song stuck in my head since I first heard it, so I wanted to post it. Although I can't stand him repeating his name throughout the song, it's a good example of reggae fusion, with well written lyrics. Not a five stars but maybe a four and a half.

Dickie Peterson dies at 63

Bassist and lead singer of the power trio Blue Cheer. He died on October 12 at 63 in Erkelenz, Germany, where he lived, after fighting with liver and prostate cancer spread throughout his body.
The band rose to prominence in 1968 with a memorable cover of the rock classic 'Summertime Blues' and continued to perform until last year, being several times on hiatus. Taking its name from a potent strain of LSD, Blue Cheer began as a six-piece band in 1966 and downsized a year later to a trio consisting of Peterson on bass and vocals, Leigh Stephens on guitar and Paul Whaley on drums. After Peterson's death, MacDonald said, 'Blue Cheer is done. Out of respect for Dickie, Blue Cheer would never become a viable touring band again'.

Sober - P!nk



The second single taken from her fifth studio album, Funhouse. It was written by Nate "Danja" Hills, Kara DioGuardi, 333 Productions, Marcella Araica and Pink herself. Pink wrote this song at a party hosted at her home, where everyone was drunk or drinking except for her, and she wanted them all to leave. She went to the beach and had a line in her head saying 'How do I feel so good sober?'. Eventually it had nothing to do with alcohol but with identities. 'How do I feel so good with just me, without anyone to lean on?', Pink says in an interview. She also stated that the song was one of the darkest she wrote for the album. 'Sober is a dark, kind of sad song. And it's about the vices that we choose and I had this idea in my head, 'Like how do I feel this good sober?...I don't know it's just a really, really personal beautiful song, one of my favorites…'. The song is a massive rock song, I would say one of Pink's best songs. The lyrics are so meaningful and her voice is better than we are accustomed to.

Somebody to Love - Leighton Meester




This is the first single by Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester featuring Robin Thicke. The song is the lead single off of her debut album. It is an uptempo electro pop song that harks influences of 90's dance music like that of Madonna. It draws influences of pop music, electronica, and R&B with Robin Thicke's vocals. Meester said in an interview that 'the song is basically about how I can't get any — I can't find anyone to love. I really wanted to make something that's completely different from anything that's on the radio right now. I feel like it's really dancy and fun, but it's still laid back and relaxed and moody and sexy.' I have nothing more to say of the song.
