Thoughts on Monday's music news headlines:
~After seeing Juno get nominated for 4 Oscars (including best picture), any lingering belief I had that the Oscar's might have an ounce of credibility was dismissed. However, no one can deny the fact that Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova's win for their song "Falling Slowly," was well deserved. And how about that performance and their acceptance speeches? I love them!
~Paul McCartney is back in the studio recording for a new album to be released this summer. Is anyone excited about this?
~There will be a new music festival in August called the Outside Lands Festival. They are expecting to sell 160,000 tickets (that's double the size of Bonnaroo!) The festival will be in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park and the headliners will be Radiohead, Jack Johnson and Tom Petty. I'm thinking this could be the biggest festival of the summer.
~Noel Gallagher (Oasis) is selling his holiday home because he hates James Blunt, who lives next door. Wondering if James will serenade Noel with a rendition of "Goodbye My Lover" as he's pulling out of the driveway. That song is almost as annoying as "Beautiful." Almost. Must stop writing about James Blunt before I start ranting...
