I think the thing that we at NME found most exciting is the fact that the Friday night Glastonbury headline slot is generally reserved for slightly smaller bands, or bands that have not yet proved themselves. So if U2 are headlining on Friday, what does that mean for the rest of the festival? What are the other bands going to be, and just how big? We've seen Arctic Monkeys play that slot, and for...

Did you know that David Bowie is the Beast's favorite? It shouldn't be that hard to gather, what with my love of glam rock, funky riffs, sequined apparel, and boys in makeup. That, in a rad little nutshell, is a good time. But what promises to be an even better time, is NYC's annual Bowie Ball . As much as I love my Thin White Duke, in all of my years residing in this wonderful city, I'd never ventured...

"Squeezed between an almighty concrete cinema complex at one end and a giant intersection at the other, Cricklewood was no kind of place. It was not a place a man came to die. It was a place a man came in order to go other places via the A41." Ouch. To make matters worse, that stinging description of a London suburb comes from a local girl. Double ouch. What Zadie Smith sets out in the opening...

This has been an incredibly shitty week for me. I'm not going to go into detail but a lot of shitty things happened and I'm still not sure if the dust has settled...I still haven't gotten fired from my job so...let's hope that doesn't happen now also just to round it all out... Was it my fault that all this shit happened to me? Kind of tough to say - sometimes things just happen and there's nothing...

I wasn't going to write about the AMAs anymore until Adam Lambert decided to compare himself to David Bowie and Madonna in the context of bitching about ABC editing out his simulated blowjobs on the West Coast. Access Hollywood... ...read full story

Via Lidzville, here's a nice essay from David Grossman on why the return of "V" and other 80s shows is culturally significant. Example: Culture in the 80's was, in general, based on the concept of dehumanization. It's no coincidence that electronica and synth first really became popular during the 80's- it's also when the computer first started becoming at least somewhat commonplace. Machinery...

After his controversial American Music Awards performance, Adam Lambert told the Los Angeles Times, that if his performance was edited for the West Coast, it would be discrimination. “If it’s gonna be edited, then in a way that’s discrimination. I don’t mean to get political, but Madonna, Britney and Christina weren’t edited,” Adam said. “It’s a shame....

Cue avalance of nonsense on either side , not sure why Bono in particular is such a punchbag he's no more annoying than Roger Waters, Paul Weller or frank Zappa his public musing no less gnomic than David Bowie. As far as I can see it makes good sense for the Eavis's to book U2 and it's not as if there won't be 40 other things on if you don't like "one" or "Beautiful day" etc....

I'm sure the title refers to a James Bond film; I'm swiping this from SamauraiFrog . List 10 musical artists (or bands) you like, in no specific order (do this before reading the questions below). Really, don’t read the questions below until you pick your ten artists!!! There is something to be said for following the instructions in this case. 1. The Beatles 2. The Beach Boys 3.
