The Newsdump, April 22 2008: from Madonna playing for free to Madonna playing for free (in America)

  • April 22, 2008
  • Popjustice

What has been going on in the world of news?

» Two swings: Madonna and Robyn. Two round­abouts: Scouting For Girls and 'The Pigeon Detectives'. It's the Radio 1 Big Weekend bill… (NME)

» Liam Fray is adamant that The Courteeners are not shit. (The Guardian)

» Amy Winehouse and Klaxons might win prizes for some songs they wrote three years ago. (The Guardian)

» Robbie Williams is still strug­gling to come to terms with the fact that no one bought 'Rudebox'.  (Music News)

» The existence of Lily Allen's new songs makes this story about her twirling for the pleasure of an 80-year-old man seem even more unlikely. (Yahoo)

» Madonna plans yet another free concert — this time in New York, not Maidstone. This is very nice con­sid­er­ing she doesn't have anything to promote at the moment. (Undercover)

Blimey.
