Spread the Social Love:
On a daily basis, we're constantly inundated with news. News about political affairs, news about what's happening in the sporting world, entertainment news that's now more like gossip as opposed to actual news, and news about family, friends, and the cat down the road. Basically, information has never been easily attainable than it is today. In some way, this is fantastic, enabling us to constantly develop our brains, and in another way, we're bombarded with so much crap we have to wade through it to get to the good bits.
Someone like her
Superstar, Adele has a bun in the oven. Set at 300 degrees for several months and pretty soon there will be a little bit of her chasing pavements. The news that the singer and her boyfriend Simon Konecki are expecting was announced on her website earlier this week, "I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time.” Best wishes and good health to the child of course.
The Stone Reunion
Ian Brown monotoned his way through one album’s worth of laddy rock from the late 80’s and apparently rocked Manchester ragged with the rest of The Stone Roses. Although his vocals were apparently useless at times, the crowd were ridiculously good and there have been few complaints about the band’s triumphant return.
No more words
A magazine that has likely inspired many here at AltSounds and a vast amount of other music and culture journalistic outputs, The Word unfortunately will be published no more. In a struggling business where many newspapers and magazines are struggling to make money, The Word refused to up its cover charge but had only 25,000 readers left (and falling). The original publishers, David Hepworth and Jerry Perkins began printing the magazine in 2003 and Hepworth announced via his twitter feed this week that they were going to close.
Gathering moss
The oldest rockers in the world The Rolling Stones this year are celebrating 50 years in music. Although the group haven’t written a new song in what seems like 49 years the group, or at least the remaining working parts decided that they should give themselves a retro feel, in case we started to think otherwise. A re-worked logo of their famous tongue and lips was unveiled by American artist Shepard Fairey and in fairness, looks kinda cool.
Locked up in the dog pound
Someone stop me if you’ve heard this one before… Snoop Dogg has been fined and detained whilst entering a Scandinavian country with a bag full of recreational vegetation. The rapper was set to perform at Hovefestivalen but was caught by a sniffer dog (insert your own dog related joke here) and had to pay a total of approximately £5500.
