The Newsdump, Mar 26 2008: from The Enemy being demented to Lohan being reinvented

  • March 26, 2008
  • Popjustice

What has been going on in
the world of news?

» "I'll write the second album when I'm ready" — the words of
a Enemy
singer Tom Clarke, barely audible above the deathly rumble of The
Darkness shifting over to create more room in The Dumper.  ('Enemy's second thought' — The Star)
 

» Franz Ferdinand's scrapped recording sessions with
Xenomania left a bill 'running into five figures' (ie more than
£9,999 — news which will no doubt see Lisa Scott-Lee taking a
hammer to her piggy bank). ('Franz quit their pricey pop plans' — The
Sun)
 

» In the aftermath of Raconteurgate, a music reviewer is
defending music reviews. ('Raconteurs mess with bix formula — for the
better?' — LA Times)
 

» Some people who were famous a long time ago now have less
money than they did when they were making lots of money. ('Jackson Five hit the skid' — The Star)
 

» Beth Ditto has been taking her song to the people on tour. ('Gossip' — FT)  

» Bigwigs predict that by 2011 half of all phones will play
music. Tragically your mother will still be keeping hers turned off in her car glove com­part­ment for use 'in emer­gen­cies'. ('Analyst: 50 percent of phones will play
music by 2011' — News.com)
 

» Lindsay Lohan's new album will be like 'Kylie meets
Rihanna', pre­sum­ably in the sense of 'a shit version of Kylie meets a
shit version of Rihanna'. (People.com via PJ Forums)
 

Blimey.
