The Newsdump, March 18 08: from Madge's mobile tracks to Blunt hitting back

  • March 19, 2008
  • Popjustice

What has been going on in the world of news recently?

» Madonna's going to make her album available early to Vodafone users. ('On Your Mobile Now, Madonna's latest album' — The Times)

»
The lady from Transvision Vamp's comeback attempts continue, and continue to be slightly bad. ('Racine at Escobar, Wakefield' — The Times)

»
You might be able to listen to everything on iTunes for free if some people say yes to an idea put to them by some other people. ('Apple mulls unlimited music bundle' — Financial Times)

»
A piece on American Idol's Beatles covers does little to boost the overall hilarity level of American music journ­al­ism. (''American Idol' goes to Beatles for today's standard' — NY Daily News)

»
Dan from The Feeling is starting to repeat himself — he's told The Sun exactly what he told us about his thoughts regarding closeted pop musicians. Shame on you Dan for using the same words in two different inter­views. ('I'm Feeling it's okay to be gay' — The Sun)

» James Blunt is pop's answer to Jeremy Beadle. (But not dead.) ('Blunt bites back' — The Independent)

Blimey.
