How much is your record worth?



Ever wondered how much your record collection is worth? Now you can by visiting Popsike.com.

Popsike is a website where you can find out the potential worth of your record/vinyl by how much it has been previously sold in auction mostly on ebay.

Although, it doesn't give a clear indication of the correct price you can definitely work out the potential value of your record.

All you have to do is type in the name of the record and the artists name and away you go.

Miquita Oliver supsended from T4



Miquita Oliver has been suspended from T4 for swearing at "singer" Ke$ha backstage at the NME awards. Miquita is supposed to have called Ke$ha a c*nt not knowing her had management overheard and complained about the presenter.

Apparently, Miquita was having a bad day. No excuse I say.

I surely won't be missing Miquita from my weekend TV, couldn't have happened to a nicer girl in my opinion.

Is Myspace dead?




Well, according to Jason Hirschhon (president of Myspace) it's far from it. Myspace is set for a face lift/relaunch and a huge one at that, once the Kings of social networking Myspace has since been dethroned by the likes of Facebook and Twitter.

To read the full article click here.

Personally, I don't think the relaunch or "re-branding" of Myspace will work it has had its day. At Myspace's peak it was huge and in a weird way it is responsible for a lot of current musicians careers and even the existence of TURN OFF THE RADIO.

People used Myspace to network, promote themselves, or even to meet a prospective partner believe it or not. But fundamentally Myspace was and is still used by musicians giving them the opportunity to allow people to listen to their music or even contact them.

However, since the emergence of Facebook and more recently Twitter the tide turned user migrated and Myspace fell by the waste side and that is where it will stay for the foreseeable future no matter what.

Take note Jason Hirschhon and Rupert Murdoch" You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink"

If it's any consolation I still use Myspace and can be found here.

The good old days eh! Makes me want to dig out my old master system and play it.

Fuzzy Logic - Welcome to my world



This is the official video to Fuzzy Logic's single welcome to my world. Fuzzy Logic are definitely the most exciting band in the UK underground music scene at the moment. I fully expect them to blow and get the recognition they deserve.

If you haven't seen them live then I suggest you do so, trust me you will not be dissapointed. FL also feature on our compilation album which can be downloaded here. You can also check out when I interviewed them for Hot110 last summer below.

What a humble dude.....



Why can't Wiley be more like this instead of shouting off his mouth on twitter, take note Wiley.

Quote TT: "I'm not going anywhere I am signing autographs"

Congratulations Tinie, very well deserved sir.

Theophilus London – (Behind The Scenes Studio Sessions)



TOTR fav' TL has a new mixtape coming out called 'I want you' this is some footage of them making the mixtape . As you can see he is also working with 'Lightspeed Champion' Dev Hynes on this mixtape so I can't bloody wait to hear it.

Soulja Boy has improved .....



The college drop out and loud mouth Kanye West reckons Soulja Boy has upped his game lyrically. Kanye and Soulja Boy have been collaborating on new material for both of their upcoming albums.

Soulja Boy talking on what Kanye said to him:

“When I was in the studio, I played him a couple of joints, and then he just said, ‘Damn, he’s really starting to go hard,’ ”

“And I was like, ‘Yeah, you feel me?’ … Out of all the artists to get the go-ahead or the co-sign from, it was Kanye.”




Well if this video is anything to go by then he hasn't improved one little bit!
