News: Simon's Back!


News: Simon's Back!

I couldn't be arsed first series round, but Amstell is back with a new music comedy vehicle, Never Mind The Buzzcocks. I've moved house and my TV reception is shite hence the poor photo quality. This show is finally funny again and is perfect for his comedy stylings. First he makes Britney cry on Popworld and now Chantell's boyfriend walks out! Comedy gold.

Top notch hip hop from some of LA's finest. These guys run their own label, which as well as releasing their own material releases all J5's vinyl. These guys rock heavy beats and spirital lyrics - get this now.

An excellent mix of album tracks mashed with their influences and extended samples. Well worth the cost of importing from Oz. Their new album has been delayed from last year at their labels request not to rush it out and to put a focus on quality. It will be very hard to live up to the quality of their first LP, so it's a good sign that there will be great things to come.

Excellent beats, keys, guitars and samples - plus insightful yet bile ridden lyrics from this Lo Fidelity Allstars spin off. Bought direct from the artist - see myspace.com/technicallymen for more details. Latest word indicates that the new Lo Fi's album is nearing completion, but is still without a label for release. Here's hoping they find a new home soon.

Nelly's MySpace webmaster has set the site not to accept other artists as friends. That is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Especially since her hip pop makeover. Why are they scared? Do they think people will go to her page, see she has me as her friend and visit my page, then forget she ever existed? This makes me sad :o(
