What has been going on in the world of news while we've all been asleep?

»
People are still fuming that Leona Lewis didn't win four Brit Awards. ('Sony Bosses Furious 4 Leona' — The Sun)

» It's official: the new Goldfrapp album is good. ('Goldfrapp, Seventh Tree' — Guardian)

»
African music is quite listen­able, says Damon Albarn. ('Damon Albarn Steers The Africa Express To Liverpool' — The Times)

»
Sometimes musicians write songs about each other. ('Songs Of Love And Hate: When Musicians Pen Tracks To Each Other' — The Independent)

»
The new Coldplay album inches closer. ('Coldplay Mixing Next Studio Album' — Billboard)

»
The Feeling's new album cover is a load of old tat from ebay. ('Ebay Junk Ends Up As Cover Art' — Daily Star)

»
The standard of this year's American Idol con­test­ants is not con­sidered to be espe­cially high. ('Idol: Who's Going To Be Sent Back Into Obscurity' — Dlisted)

Blimey.
