Boybands Back in Town

I always thought that the age of boybands was over... Come on, we had the 90s with the Backstreet Boys, Westlife, Five, N'Sync, Take That and so on - and of course plenty of eye candy for all crazy teenage fans :) Precious things, those boybands; things of the past - no more!
JLS are here to make up for the recent lack of boybands. And here's their latest song...


Also back on the beatin' track, one of the all-time favourite bands from the back street are, well, back! New song from the BSB's, coming up!


And finally, more news on the boyband front, Robbie Williams said he'd gladly rejoin Take That... so yeah! Get ready, world, get ready to relive the good old times ;)

3D Lott

Orange are currently selling special Monkey SIM cards with free music downloads... And they've got loads of posters around London featuring Lady GaGa, Little Boots, Dizzee Rascal... They're doing this massive promotion of their newest, music-fan-attracting SIM plan, right, and as part of it they're doing a Hologram Tour of Pixie Lott and Tinchy Stryder! Way to go!!! The 'tour' is on for four weekends, and will be in Birmingham this Saturday and Sunday. I think that might a good opportunity to jump over to Birmingham for a day trip :) So if the opportunity arises, I'll be off to watch holograms perform... :)

Here's an actual article on the topic :)

Oh, Sh..uga! (cont. 2)

So, as you saw some of the comments people posted in the PJ SB Guestbook, here's what was inevitably going to happen... and it did.

Moving on now...

Oh, Sh..uga! (cont.)

Oh, Sh..uga!

So, all of twitter is practically tweeting about the Sugababes breaking up, and some news agents already put out the story that Keisha is giving the boot to the other babes... Here are some of those reactions.

Keisha Buchanan has quit the Sugababes and will be replaced by Eurovision star Jade Ewen, it has been confirmed.

The 24-year-old, who was the only surviving original member of the band, will remain with Island Records as a solo artist.

The group have been the subject of tabloid speculation after Amelle Berrabah reportedly went missing two weeks ago, with reports claiming that Buchanan had been bullying the singer.

Berrabah has since denied the allegations; however media interest intensified following reports that Ewen had flown over to join the group.

An official statement reads: "The current line-up of the Sugababes has disbanded.

"Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah will continue as the Sugababes and will be joined by new member Jade Ewen. They release their album Sweet 7 on November 23rd through Island Records.

"Keisha Buchanan will continue to record for Island Records as a solo artist."

Sugababes rose to fame with debut single 'Overload' in 2000. Siobhan Donaghy was the first to leave the group in 2001 and was replaced by former Atomic Kitten singer Heidi Range.

Amelle Berrabah joined the group in December 2005 following the depature of Mutya Buena.

The group have enjoyed 24 Top 40 singles, six albums and greatest hits Overloaded - The Singles Collection.

But then after hearing this...


...PJ got all sentimental and created this little tribute to the beloved girl band...


...did you take out your handkerchiefs? Ah, but there's no use crying over spilled suga...

A Good Example

One of those feel-good-piano-motif tunes :) Thumbs up, Example, I feel like singing to this song and run around in the sunshine!... I also wish I lived in a part-cartoon world, sigh. Now, Example tweets regularly for people to download his song so that it could rise up and possibly make it to the Big Top 40 UK Chart. Everyone wants to be part of the big four-oh. Well, download this tune on iTunes, help the lad out!

Blueprint 3 in the making

My graphic design professor says everything looks much more compelling if it's done for real, not merely Photoshopped. Since I'm a little crazy for Jay-Z right now, I stumbled upon this video for the making of his latest album cover. You know, when I first saw the image, I thought to myself "Oh, okay, that was certainly photoshopped all together."


But I was wrong, waaay wrong. Look at how much work went into the production of the cover! So it's official, everything in this album is top-notch, amazing stuff!

What a state of mind!

I think it's time for all of us to move to New York City. I've been there once and I fell in love with it. I listened to this song once and I fell in love with it. Beautiful! Great job, Jay-Z & Alicia!



And that's not the only amazing new song by Jay-Z... Run this town... So awesome!



Basically, Jay-Z's new album is absolutely AMAZING, or as Tinchy Stryder put it "STRAIGHT SICKNESS!"

Go Orange!

Final year at uni. Well, better make it the best it can be! That's the mission I'm on right now. And I can tell you so far it's been absolutely amazing! I've dedicated most of my time to getting involved in London life - more specifically, London's music life :)
After attending two small concerts in two weeks, I feel like I can call that a good start of the year :)
To keep that number rising, I'm planning on attending another gig in my third week thanks to the Orange RockCorps. Such a cool idea - the RockCorps are a charity organization, getting young people involved into doing some good for their communities, some little social project like fixing up an old garden, painting walls, cleaning up rivers - useful things of that sort. After dedicating 4 hours to such a project, you earn a ticket to an amazing gig!! Coming up on Sept. 25 is a great show at the Royal Albert Hall - should be massive, full of enthusiastic young people.. and of course featuring some top-notch performers!
Headlining the show: Nas, Nelly, David Guetta and Kelly Rowland, Chase&Status, Razorlight, and Daniel Merriweather... I'm not a hardcore fan of all of the above, but having the chance to see this,

this,

and this *Kelly will be there anyway... they better sing that!*,

... is sooo worth it!!! I can't wait!!!
Now, to earn this I'll be painting and fixing up a children's playground, this Wednesday from 10-2pm. I love this thing, I love being part of it!!! :D
And so my days go by :)

Viva MJ at the VMA's!

Exceptional VMA's this year. Despite Kanye's little stunt which pretty much became the main focus of all post-VMA discussions to the point where 'Kanye' could now be considered an offensive word "Ugh, I can't believe he kanyed me like that!" (meaning whatever you want it to mean, really) - the whole ceremony was amazing!

It would have been unimaginable to have the ceremony without a tribute to the King of Pop, and the VMA's did a spectacular job at it - incredible tributes from so many artists! It must have been so exhilarating to watch these live! Wow, I'm left nigh speechless at how amazing everything was!


Blood and tears, mixed with a healthy dose of eccentricity marked Lady GaGa's appearance at the show... shock and awe is what this lady's all about, and she sure does it well :)


And then there's Kanye, for whom the entire world - including Tweeter - has been talking about constantly. It's like the biggest bit of negative PR anyone's ever brought upon themselves. Well, only the brightest star in the universe could have pulled that one off :)

A Good Beat Never Hurt No One

Pixie Lott - undoubtedly amazing. Mama Did become a hit, as are her new tunes... My personal favorite - "Boys and Girls".

Amazing, that girl!

Too Long a Break

Ah, summer days.. how fast they go by, filled to the max with most amazing adventures... and once again I managed to totally leave that blog behind, to collect digital dust, forgotten in virtual outer space...
But guess what, it's about to change.
NOW.
