The Ragamuffins "Batteries Not Included" New Song

Catchy slice of melodic indie pop ‘Batteries Not Included’ is a perfect example of why people are tripping over themselves to praise cheeky electropop kids The Ragamuffins. This long awaited release, produced by Dave Cottrell at Studio 410, has been praised by the likes of BBC’s John Gillmore and countless others.

An indie pop group based in the North West of England, The Ragamuffins (consisting of David Jaggs, Jules Gilchrist and Paul Heck) are renowned for their emphasis on infectious grooves, lush harmonies and catchy melodies. Their frenetic electro pop style takes in elements of Northern Soul, 80's synth pop and the music of "The British Invasion" of the 1960's and is wrapped up in a witty, uplifting lyricism to create something totally unique.

"Exactly what British indie pop needs right now; charm, originality, but most of all, damn fine song writing" - Preston University Press

Eminem "Turns Down Madonna" News

Most artists would jump at the chance to work with Madonna, but not Eminem. The rapper passed on a potential collaboration with the Material Girl.

“I wanted to work with Eminem. I don’t think he wanted to work with me,” she told Rolling Stone in the magazine’s current issue. “Maybe he’s shy.”

When asked who she listens to today, she cited her collaborators Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. “I really, genuinely like the music of Timbaland and Justin,” adding that her son Rocco “likes anything that I did with Timbaland.”

The Queen of Pop also praised Timberlake’s songwriting skills. “Justin is a brilliant songwriter. I mean, ‘What Goes Around…Comes Around’? Brilliant.”

I thought this was some bull*hit when I first read it and thought it was some rumors going around but eventually after some further research it was quite true. In a way Im quite astonished that Eminem turned it down instead of taking up on the opportunity and exploring something new.

Scarlette Fever "You Don't Know My Name" Video + News

Scarlette Fever's Official Site
Scarlette Fever's MySpace

Scarlette Fever is the latest new sensation to emerge from the UK, her songs and sound containing in them vivid evocations of a life lived and loves lost, rather than callow youthful platitudes. You Don’t Know My Name is the lead single from her debut album Medication Time and will be released digitally as part of her Sticky Fingers EP on 26th October.

You Don't Know My Name indulges your aural sensitivities on a hauntingly, beautiful journey of Scarlette’s love from a far. The song is cleverly built around a sample of John Barry's Midnight Cowboy that mixes a touch of pedal steel with a gorgeous melody that drifts like dry ice. With a compulsive love of film and music, John Barry is "as good as it gets" and for Scarlette Fever it was an honour and an incredible validation to be given the blessing of the eminent composer who rarely clears the adaptation of his music.

So impressed was Barry that he asked Scarlette to record a song from his farewell to film scoring tribute ‘The Beyondness of Things’. Don Black specially created the lyrics for ‘Give Me A Smile’. It is a reflective soundtrack that perfectly demonstrates Scarlette's affinity with all things epic. "It was the hardest song on my album to record," she admits. "I’m lucky to have been afforded such an opportunity at this stage in my career."

Scarlette’s debut album, ‘Medication Time’ will be released early next year and follows a distinct theme, one of “chocolate, coffee, wine, self-help books whatever it takes. These are the ‘medications’ I use and often, in excess to deal with the highs and lows of life. Of course, my ultimate medication is my music, there’s a song for every mood swing.”

Sticky Fingers EP will feature remixes of You Don’t Know My Name from Loverush UK! and a chilled out version from Kiss 100's very own Justin Wilkes. Finishing the EP are remixes of Scarlette’s track Lovestruck by The Almighty and Riffs & Rays which are currently causing a storm across clubland.

Stephen Gately "Member Of Boyzone Dies" News

Stephen Gately, a singer with the Irish boy band Boyzone, died yesterday while on vacation on the Spanish island of Majorca, according to a post by the group on its official Website today. He was 33.

While Boyzone declined to give further details about the cause of death, the rest of the members of the group—Shane Lynch, Mickey Graham, Keith Duffy, and and Ronan Keaning—released the following statement: “We are completely devastated by the loss of our friend and brother, Stephen. We have shared such wonderful times together over the years and were all looking forward to sharing many more. Stephen was a beautiful person in both body and spirit. He lit up our lives and those of the many friends he had all over the world. Our love and sympathy go out to Andrew and Stephen’s family. We love you and will miss you forever, ‘Steo.’”

Gately had been in Majorca with his partner Andrew Cowles at the time of his death, according to the band’s website statement. The pair were wed in a civil ceremony in 2006.

Boyzone was a U.K. success in the 1990s and was one of the biggest acts to come out of Ireland in that decade, although they never had much success in the United States. After disbanding in 2000, Gately had put out several solo singles and appeared in musical productions, including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The group reunited last year for a comeback concert tour.

Even though this might be at least 4 days old, This overall is tragic with so many entertainers death this year such as with Michael Jackson, DJ AM and now Stephen Gately it truely proves a tragic but a great one as upcoming and developing entertainers will step up on the plate.

Soulja Boy "Arrested In Georgia" News

Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy has been arrested in Henry County following an incident at a video shoot.
The arrest happened on Wednesday (October 7) at 9PM, when officers responded to a call that there were upwards of 40 people mingling at an abandoned house in Stockbridge, GA.

“There were approximately 40 people gathered behind the dark house," Sergeant Rene Swanson detailed in her police report. "Half of the people fled the area as the arriving officer called for back-up.”


Soulja Boy (DeAndre Way) was one of the alleged individuals to flee the scene. In a search of the left behind vehicles, police found a 9MM handgun in the glove compartment of a white Lexus.


Although authorities have not given specifics, police stated the weapon was tied to Soulja Boy.

Upon his return, the rapper gave a statement explaining that his entourage was gathered at the home for a video shoot. Because of the gun, he was still arrested on obstruction charges.


“A white Land Rover at the scene was identified as belonging to Way, who had fled the scene," Swanson stated. "He returned a short time later, and [was] arrested for obstruction."

A second man, Latice Wayne Grier, was arrested on second degree forgery charges when a search of his Dodge Charger yielded eight counterfeit $100 bills.


Soulja Boy was released yesterday (October 8) on a $550 bond, and will answer his misdemeanor charge in State Court. Due to the more serious forgery charge, Grier posted a $10,050 bond and will respond to his case in Superior Court.


At press time, Soulja boy could not be reached for comment.

I know most of you are probably Soulja Boy HATERS, so you might enjoy this post! So have a read,but I LOL @ this I reckon Soulja Boy should of drove away in his car instead of just dashing for it.

Prince Harry: The movie

Prince William may have been born for the throne, but his younger brother is bound for Hollywood. At least, his story is.
Prince Harry's fascinating life has attracted the interest of filmmaker Peter Kosminsky, who plans to make a film about the younger, wilder royal, called The Spare.
Kosminsky says he was drawn to the 25-year-old's story because he feels "a sense of compassion for the guy".

"His parents break up in the most spectacularly public way," says the director."His mother dies in the most tragic, and public way. He's a man born to no role, the heir and the spare.
"Then Harry joins the Army and for 77 days sees action in Afghanistan — and finds, possibly for the first and only time in his life, a role.
"Suddenly, he finds himself alongside ordinary guys. …For the first time in his life he doesn't feel like a spare part. But then that's snatched away and, fearing for his safety, the Army top brass send Harry home."

It's unknown who will be cast as the charismatic, ginger-haired prince, but Twilight star and teen heartthrob Robert Pattinson is said to be high on the list of potentials, as is Harry Potter star Rupert Grint.

When I first heard about this I was like HOLY F**K in a bad way, among this review I reckon it will be a crap movie and I know for sure I wont be watching this. Anyone know who will? But among the crap film list I will name this,Cedar Boys,Facebook Movie and Glee

Pitbull "Rebelution" Album Review

Album: Rebelution
Artist: Pitbull
Genre: RnB/Rap/Techno (brings a variety of flavours within the album)

Triumph feat. Avery Storm
1^st Track is very inscriptional , really gets you and the album really amped, the track settles a pitbull Triumph anthem to which connects to you to also gain Triumph and get your hustle on.

Shut it down feat. Akon
The Intro of this particular song brings a sexy rnb , nice choice of backing vocal with akon on the track.But from 0:30 it brings a rnb/techno a very good experiment with a crossfade with rnb to techno transitional even though with a small amount of seconds.

I know you want me (Calle Ocho)
I don’t know if you heard this on your radio blasting but I certainly have, it gives a catchy tune “I know you want me, You know I want you” with this track it could really get the club going for all those sexy ladies especially with Pitbull’s personal touched with his foreign language(even though it’s a few amount of words it brings a dramatic effect)

Girls
With this track I think Pitbull has already and will establish that girls is his life and girls are damm HOT! And sexy, it brings a balance on the track with Pitbull and the girl vocal.

Full of Shit feat. Nayer & Bass Ill Euro
Starts off with a easy melody, I guess with this track Pitbull really gets to express himself but to me I personally don’t think he can express himself that well, as well most of his tracks are party bangas which works the best.

Dope Ball (Interlude)
The dope ball, interlude with this track you get more of a chance of hearing more of Pitbull inner rap style

Can't stop me now feat. The New Royales
Another of Pitbull nice party bangas, that no-one can stop his hustle and his music.

Hotel Room Service
The title already describes the song with Hotel Room Service, its also has catchy lyrics with his hotel room song story lyric structure.

Juice Box
I would say it’s the same as the Dope Ball Interlude where he expressed himself in rap style, once again not of my favourites.

Krazy feat. Lil Jon
Gives a Crunkish feel with Lil Jon, but you hear Pitbull raps through the possible crazy situations.

Give them what they ask for
A more slower beat song,another track which Pitbull expresses himself a more of a personal song as he raps what his gone through "giving what they asked for".

Across the World feat. B.o.B.
Featuring B.o.B. me personally I havent heard of this person before, but usually structure of a track I "been across the World", but this tracks reminds me of another track "Been across world,seen alot of girls" but dammit I cant remeber the track name and who by.

Daddy's little girl feat. Slim (of 112)
Another generic theme, "Daddy's Little Girl" which has a nice melody with 112 singing "Daddy's Little Girl” what you may expect the usually of being Dadd'y Little Girl.

Overall of Pitbull album I thought it was great lots of party bangas and lots of the usually like Daddy's Little Girl and Across the World but I would say this album gives Sean Paul a running for his money espically with Sean Paul lastest released album (Imperial Blaze)

Disney Prepares To Replace Johnny Depp In 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' Franchise

Following the recent departure of Disney studio chief Dick Cook, Johnny Depp admitted to being less enthusiastic about returning to the role of Captain Jack Sparrow for "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" ("Pirates" part 4, for those who lost count). And the fans in turn admitted that they'd give up on the franchise without him in it.

That apparently isn't stopping Disney though. According to a tip received by Cinema Blend, the studio is preparing to replace Depp if/when he decides to abandon ship. This may not happen with "On Stranger Tides," as Disney is likely prepared to offer him as much money as it takes to keep him aboard. The actor, who is said to be aware the last two movies "sucked," will definitely not be sticking around for the fifth and sixth installments if the tipster is to be believed.

Is this sad news for us Jack Sparrow lovers? Certainly, but I don't believe it's the end of the world for the "Pirates" franchise. Yes, Jack Sparrow -- and Depp's portrayal of him -- is terrific and hardly replaceable, but there are other wonderful actors out there who could at least steer the series on their own. And anyway, it might actually be refreshing to follow the adventures of another sort of pirate -- a character unlike (and therefore incomparable to) Sparrow.

The plot of "On Stranger Tides," which Geoffrey Rush claims may begin shooting next spring, could easily work as a changing of the guard.

It was widely believed until last week that "Tides"' story will come at least in part from Tim Powers' novel, "On Stranger Tides," which Disney owns the rights to. Powers confirmed last Monday that the fourth movie will "use elements" of the book.

Powers' novel involves a pirate's search for the Fountain of Youth. The story leaves room for a young newcomer, a character who aids the pirates in their search for the mythic location, to come aboard. While this could turn out to be Orlando Bloom's role in the next movie, it seems possible that Disney might use that character instead as a Sparrow replacement. Of course, the studio will need more than just a pretty face if they hope to rival -- and/or replace -- Depp's iconic pirate.

It's easy to be cynical and believe Disney would screw it up by casting someone like Zac Efron or Shia LaBeouf as the new lead. Just as nobody wants to see LaBeouf completely take over the "Indiana Jones" franchise -- yet -- without Harrison Ford, few of these sorts of rising stars are acceptable fill-ins for Depp.

I dont know if you most of you guys and ladies are film fans but I thought I might share it around, Pirates Of The Caribbean is a MADDD MOVIE! as well as Johnny Depp, but I swear if espically Zac Efron replaces Johnny for Jack Sparrow I swear.I and bunch of other fans will lost interest, What do you think? After all we all hated Zac Efron from High School Musical.

Fat Joe Calls Out Slacking Emcees, "A Lot Of Rappers Can't Make Hooks" News

Fat Joe recently spoke out about the lack of quality albums in today's rap climate and said a surprising number of rappers are incapable of making hooks for their records.

Joey Crack also said he places a strong emphasis on making all of his music sound like "hit" records.

"A lot of albums I hear these days sound like mixtapes," Joey said in an interview. "Believe it or not, a lot of rappers can't make hooks. So it's not a coincidence when you hear your favorite rapper with sampled hooks and they just don't know how to make it. It's a lot of albums that sound like f*cking mixtapes. So when I make an album, I just try to make big records and big songs and make 'em huge to where I'm just trying to make every record a hit. Even if I'm making an underground hardcore record, I'll try to put a real strong hook so it can still feel real big. I hate getting albums and it sounds like one big mixtape." (On Smash)

Fat Joe recently updated fans on his delayed J.O.S.E. Part II album and said he is considering a name change for the follow-up project.

"We worked very hard for this, October 6th, my album Jealous Ones Still Envy Part Two," Joe revealed in an interview last week. "Lil Kim on that album, Weezy on that album, Akon, T-Pain, Fabolous, Raekwon, I ain't even play that Raekwon The Chef yet. It's called 'Ice Cream Man.' Get at me...I like to think I'm better than ever...We talking about a future album, one after this. Probably no more Fat Joe, probably Fat Gangsta is coming. 360. So we just gonna go in so hard, body on that thing like just killing people. The whole joint is gonna be straight violence on that joint right there, so, look out for that. That's the Fat Gangsta, the return of the Fat Gangsta, 'Flow Joe, fat n*gga with the shotty...'" (Invasion Radio)

The Terror Squad leader's J.O.S.E. 2 was initially slated to drop on May 19th.

"I got bad news for everyone," Joe wrote on Twitter unmodified. "My album got pushed back. Monday I will have the new date!!!!!! I'm just as upset as ya!!!! CRACK!!! We pushed my album back my brother, sample clearance, you know. The album is coming late June." (Fat Joe's Twitter)

He previously spoke about the album's motivation with radio personality Jenny Boom Boom.

"The album will be in stores April 7," he promised in an interview last February. "I've just been making that hit mania...It just feels big. My first album Jealous Ones Still Envy was my biggest album and I haven't did no album to this day that I felt I made music as big as that. So I just went hit mania on this one right here. It feels great." (Jenny Boom Boom)

I'm astonished he even said that, especially with 50 cent dissing him I thought he would of learnt his lesson by now, but NOO.. he had to be a smart ass and diss other unexperienced rappers.
