According to blog MusicThing, last week Coldplay’s old drum machine was being sold online in an eBay auction was being held as part of a “studio clearance.” The EMU SP1200 “with Kid Nepro samples” was finally sold for £740.00 GBP ($1,474.50 USD).

If you have ever visited an Ikea or perused their catalog, you too may have noticed that many designs have been created by a man named “Chris Martin.” I have often wondered what this “Chris Martin” looked like, if he bared any resemblance to the Chris Martin married to Gwyneth Paltrow and lead singer of [...]

Too bad Avril’s latest album wasn’t as emo as this Chris Martin ditty…it’s where she excels. Bring back old Avril!!! I miss the moody.

The Blonde Stick and The Student happily announce to the world that they’ve spawned another horribly named child…Moses Martin. Apple is upset with her parents naming decision. She was really looking forward to playing with a new baby brother Kumquat.

WTF was up with The Strokes playing almost all old songs during their first night of a 3-night stand at the Hammerstein Ballroom here in NYC? They played nearly every song off of their first album, Is This It, but only 7 songs off the new one, First Impressions of Earth. The whole time I [...]

Wait a minute, have Wino and Paris run out of scraggly musicians and Greek shipping heirs (respectively) to make out with? You know what? I’m not even going to ask. I do not claim to understand anything about what goes on in the weird world of celebrities. Apparently the Val Kilmer vs. Winona set is [...]
