The Newsdump, Feb 8, 2010: Owl City's continuing hit, John & Edward's album perhaps not shit

  • February 8, 2010
  • Popjustice

Hold onto your hats:

» Owl City beat off John & Edward yesterday evening, while Alicia Keys has 'scored' her first UK Number One album. (Radio 1 Chart Show)

» Lady Gaga is putting together a new spin on her live show for UK audiences — it's themed around The Wizard Of Oz. (Daily Star)

» Not unreas­on­ably, Men At Work are right royally fucked off about all that 'Down Under' pla­gi­ar­ism business. (BBC News)

» Illiterate pop divots John & Edward are still planning an album and Alphabeat have been approached to write a song. And if you think that sounds unlikely, wait until you see how The Sun describe Alphabeat. (The Sun)  "Cool Danish dance producers" indeed…

» The Sun have figured out a point­lessly com­plic­ated way of letting you watch JLS (or 'JSL') video content. (The Sun)

» Massive Attack are sort of furious about their artwork being censored except it's really lame cen­sor­ship based on the London Underground not accepting graffiti-inspired advert­ising so it doesn't really matter very much. (Daily Star)

» Oasis' admit­tedly-quite-good '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' looks like it might win that Brits 30 album vote thing. Poor old Travis. (The Sun)

» Jay‑Z believes Susan Boyle should launch a clothing line. (Digital Spy)

That's your lot. Except to say…

» All signs are pointing to a BEAR HUNT. (Press Of Atlantic City)
