Machi Spreads Hip Hop Across Asia

Oasis Kicked U2 Out Of Abbey Road Studio

U2 may be one of the biggest bands around, but that still didn't stop Oasis from kicking their butts...out of the studio at least.

Oasis guitarist, Noel Gallagher, said that the band paid off the owner of the Abbey Road Studio, so that they can record there, even though U2 had already booked the place earlier.

Well, Oasis certainly know how to get what they want, when they want.


Christian Bale Arrested

Check out the full report here.


The Verve Members Still At Odds

The Verve may have reunited for a new album, but frontman Richard Ashcroft says that friction still exists among members of the band.

The band broke up twice in the past due to its members' heavy drug usage, and the strained relationship between Ashcroft and guitarist, Nick McCabe. They decided to reunite again however, because of the unique music they produce together.

Their new album Forth drops next month, so look out for it!


Madonna Meltdown

It's been a trial for Madonna, with her marriage problems, and her alleged affair with Alex Rodriguez. The entire ordeal is affecting her health too.

The Queen Of Pop is reportedly going through severe mood swings, and is taking time off work to recover from a knee injury. Madge is apparently anaemic, and has to have blood analysis done every few days. Doctors are constantly on standby during rehearsals as well.


Nas protests against Fox Network

Nas has spoken out in his new song, against Fox News channel for promoting racism.

The track is titled "Sly Fox," and accuses the news network of feeding viewers media "toxins" by insulting ethnic women and calling African-American presidential candidate, Barack Obama, a terrorist.

The song can be found on his newly released album, Untitled.
