»
Fatboy Slim making some rather grand plans for his Wireless festival headline slot. ('Slam Daft Punk' — Daily Star)

»
Madonna's new movie, 'Filth And Wisdom', is not rubbish. ('Exclusive Review: Madonna's Filth And Wisdom' — The Times)

»
Muse are head­lining this year's V Festival — which is good news for Muse fans. ('Muse Confirmed To Headline V2008' — BBC Newsbeat)

»
The good people of America are as smitten with boring surfer/singer Jack Johnson as those in the UK. ('Digital Sales Propel Johnson To Second No. 1' — Billboard)

»
Timbaland is planning to ruin your bus journey home with an album made spe­cific­ally to be played on mobile phones. ('Timbaland To Produce The World's First Album For A Mobile Phone' — The Guardian)
