It's easy to forget, but Radiohead almost never made it into this decade. After OK Computer the Oxford quintet refused to do the obvious and become a conventional stadium rock act: instead they started again, binning most of the guitars along the way. Initial sessions for 2000's electronica-influenced Kid A were characterised by creative deadlock and rows that led to rumours they might split. What emerged positioned them as perhaps the era's only big band capable of genuine surprises. This even applied to the business of music with 2007's In Rainbows: the pay-what-you-like digital honesty box. The album itself saw a softening of approach, with the guitars plugged back in, but it was no less impressive than Kid A. Nor was the marvellous track they released this year – Harry Patch (In Memory Of), a tribute to the last surviving British soldier of the Great War – some kind of throwaway simply because it appeared online. So Radiohead ended the Noughties as they began, challenging themselves and, in the process, everyone else. When we speak at the end of November, and relaxed about his band's singular route through the past 10 years.

New album coming soon?
For sure, we can expect a new Thom song...well, not really new. He's going to cover someone, fyi.

Syracuse.com: "It's interesting that both Lambert and Boyle were runners-up on their respective TV talent shows yet are busting sales records. American Idol 8 winner, Kris Allen's debut, opens at No. 11 on this week's Billboard 200 after sales of 80,000 copies."

Steve Barnett's Columbia Records and Susan Boyle have a lot to be thankful for this weekend. And that goes for you two, Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga.

Eric Mabius says a lot about his career and a little about fashion
By Christopher Muther
Globe Staff / November 19, 2009



NORTHAMPTON - Over the course of a brilliantly sunny Saturday - the kind of day when the sky appears even more cerulean than usual thanks to vivid yellow and scarlet leaves that stubbornly cling to branches - it becomes very clear that Eric Mabius has a tendency to overextend himself.
Mabius, best know for his portrayal of fashion magazine heir and playboy Daniel Meade on ABC’s “Ugly Betty,’’ woke up early to drive home to Massachusetts. This fall, he and his wife, Ivy, moved back to Western Massachusetts, where they first met as freshmen at Amherst Regional High School, to raise their two sons. Whenever Mabius isn’t filming in New York, he’s driving back here to spend time with his family.
On this particular Saturday, Mabius drove home, then jumped back in the car to hit a photo shoot. After five hours of playing model, he’s settling back with beet salad and calamari to talk about his move to Massachusetts, his four seasons playing Daniel Meade, and, of course, fashion. After dinner, he’ll meet a high school friend at a nearby bar, and try to get home before his sons get to bed.
“My wife will tell you I have a tendency to do a lot in a very short amount of time,’’ he says, at which point Ivy pipes in: “You think so?’’

I wonder if they might update it for the European leg! It's still pretty fierce though, even though there isn't really any new pictures in it.

Jay-Z refused to walk the red carpet at the Victoria’s Secret show, The New York Post claims. The rapper who attended the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in the Big Apple last Thursday night decided not to be photographed with the lingerie models because he didn’t want to upset his wife Beyonce, who is currently on tour in Ireland.

"Victoria’s Secret begged, but Jay-Z refused," a source said. "He explained it was out of respect for Beyonce."

Jay was also given his own booth at the after-party so that he would not be photographed anywhere near the models.


TBH I have never heard a Jay-Z song. I don't listen to pop music, that's not my style.

Pulling in $17.9 million just yesterday, Variety is reporting that New Moon has now passed the $200 million mark at the US box office:

The domestic B.O. for “New Moon” easily eclipsed that of the first “Twilight” which amassed $192.8 million in 20 weeks.

In the first three days of the holiday frame beginning Wednesday, “New Moon” has grossed $41.4 million.

The record holder for the best Thanksgiving frame haul still belongs to the first “Harry Potter” which made $82.4 million from Wednesday through Sunday.

Has anyone ever purchased anything from The Celestial Toystore? I was looking into purchasing the fob watch, but £120.00 is pricy for an American, even for the holidays... so any word from you all would be appreciated in helping make the decision.
