- Lady Sovereign’s record Public Warning finally came out here in the states and it debuted at number 48, selling 18,296 copies in its first week on the charts. Not as good as Barry Manilow’s The Greatest Songs of the Sixties, which sold 201,904 copies in its first week on the charts and earned the number two spot, but what can you do. Also noteworthy? The Who’s Endless Wire scored the number seven chart position right in front of Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell III and right behind My Chemical Romance, who sold another 86,081 copies of The Black Parade this week.
- Jay-Z plans to play eight concerts in eight cities in one day. Why? No idea, but on November 18th Hova apparently plans to play in Washington D.C., Atlanta, Chicago and Las Vegas, among others. The theory apparently is that by bringing the tour in different parts of the country, Jay-Z will gain hours as he goes across the country and will therefore be able to visit all markets within the same day.
- Paul McCartney has reportedly edited out all traces of estranged wife Heather Mills from his upcoming tour DVD Paul McCartney: The Space Within Us. We can’t imagine anyone will miss her.
- The Flaming Lips U.K. tour has gotten off to an interesting start. During their first show, the performance had to be stopped for a moment because an audience member suffered an epileptic fit. And a laptop and a digital camera were allegedly stolen from the band’s dressing room before their gig by a man Lips frontman Wayne Coyne described as looking “a bit like a whippet.”
- Madonna joins Noel Gallagher and Jake Shears in praising Abba on a sleeve used to promote the group’s new release Number Ones.
- Listen to two new Modest Mouse tunes.
- There is apparently an individual out there willing to spend $2,150 for an invite from Britney and Kevin’s wedding.
- Simon Cowell apparently declared himself a member of “Team Moss” and announced that he would like to sign the supermodel up for a recording contract. ” The thing about Kate is that she’s a star” the snarky judge reportedly said. ” It’s the Kate factor. People attach themselves to her.” At least he’s not pretending she can sing … though her voice isn’t THAT bad. Would you buy a Kate Moss record?
