I love has-been culture. I found this very useful.

Beverley Knight goes independent
No word on whether she left at her own accord or if she was dropped. Something tells me it’s the latter, because Music City Soul didn’t do so well, even if it was a scrumptious album. In any case, she is back with her very own Hurricane Records. She’s working with the Rurals, Guy Chambers and the one and only Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, so there should be some gems on there. If you sign up on her website you can get a demo of a song titled “Money Back.” Whatever she has to offer, I am sure it is going to be up to par. From the sound of it “Money Back” is a return to a more contemporary beat like Who I Am but with a grown-up laid-back soul saunter.
Penis pictures on VV Brown’s album
On Twitter, VV Brown has announced that she is planning to put pictures of penises on her cover art. I thought the cover art that was featured earlier was it. But, apparently it’s too bland. What she twittered: “ive decided im gonna do a polaroid diary, this is mad, some of my pics are bloody iconic! my put inside album artwork! espec 1″s of penis’.” I can’t wait for Traveling Like The Light
Video: “Cartoons And Forever Plans” by Maria Taylor

This is a nice little video featuring Nettwerk artist Maria Taylor. The backing vocalist is none other than Michael Stipe from R.E.M. Also, the press release states that Soko makes an appearance, but I don’t know how or where. In any case. The song is a quaint little ditty from her album LadyLuck.
Did Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson split?

Reports are surfacing that Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan have allegedly split. I guess Lindsay’s lesbian stint is over. Apparently, Lindsay Lohan tried to enter a club where Ronson was DJing and the guards would not let her in. This was a request from Samantha Ronson. So, Ronson dumped her I am guessing. Or was she trying to reconcile. I have no clue. Now Lindsay releases a statement that they broke up. She must want her revenge or something. Love is suffering. I don’t know how Lohan will be as hetero again. Boring, maybe.

Song Of The Month: “Untouchable” by Girls Aloud
1
At first listen of Girls Aloud Out Of Control album, the track doesn’t get ones attention. It just sits there between stronger tracks that sound more like video-worthy singles. Then as the pop grace of the other tracks wears off, this one rises. I can honestly say that “Untouchable” is not one on the best singles of the year but also a song that will go down in Girls Aloud’s history as the one that finally got them great critical acclaim outside of the pop-sphere.
