  • April 8, 2008
  • Popjustice

What's occurring?

» Jay Z will probably play Wireless this summer although appar­ently he's still doing Glastonbury. Very odd. (NME)

» Confirmed: Coldplay are the musical equi­val­ent of Valium. (Gigwise)

» Madonna plans to continue her orphan-based trolley grab, this time on a different continent. (The Sun)

» Meanwhile, some people have listened to her new album. (The Times)

» Mark Ronson has decided to take his trumpets to Oxfordshire to play a festival for wake­boarders (no idea) alongside Metronomy (AMAZING) and Funeral For A Friend (BOO). (Music News)

»  Britney Spears' children might soon be allowed to spend another fun night with mummy. (Music News)

» Lily Allen cannot read. (The Guardian)

Blimey.
