Pixies Queen

So last month, the American alternative rock band Pixies released an EP for the first time in 22 years. First single 'Indie Cindy' came from the EP and now they have released 'Andro Queen'. The video is different and has great cinematography, director and filmaker Ondi Timoner's has made a group of people wear animals masks and throughout the video appears a pretty daydreaming girl. It's probably a good idea to mention that the actual members of the band don't look anything like the band members.... so first Kim leaves and now the band has been replaced by tigers... interesting move!



On the subject of Kim leaving, it looks like frontman Black Francis has spoken up, saying it was 'an awkward moment' when the bassist decided to quit. He contiuned to say  'We were at a little coffee shop near the studio, Kim walked in at some point and said "I'm flying home tomorrow. She quit the band. We didn't hug or shake hand or anything. Joey (Santiago, guitarist) and I just stood up and said "ok". Then we had to get out of there, so we immediately went to a bar. I had to move from coffee to alcohol.' It seems the  lose of their band member hit them hard but they've appeared to bounce back and played their first UK gig at Camden Roundhouse last month (so jealous of anyone who went to that).
The band are also set to play a few larger UK and Irish shows this November at Dublin's Olympia on November 18, Manchester Apollo on November 21, Glasgow's Barrowland on November 22 and London's Hammersmith Apollo on November 24 and 25.

Miley hits back at Sinead

Miley Cyrus has responded to Sinead O' Connor's open letter with a few comeback tweets.

Cyrus responded to the open letter a picture with the caption 'Before Amanda Bynes.... There was...'


She also tweeted 'Sinead. I don't have time to write you an open letter cause Im hosting & performing on SNL this week...So if youd like to meet up and talk lemme know in your next letter. :)'
It looks pretty clear that her cameo on SNL will involve Sinead O' Connor and taking the mick completely.

 Miley also tweeted that photo which appears to be a mock of the event when O'Connor tore up a picture of the pope.
Clearly, Miley is pissed off at the things the Irish singer wrote in her letter, which is fair enough, there is always two sides to every story and someone's feelings will always get hurt but in my opinion, Miley's attack was incredibly ignorant, rude and just continues the stereotypes of mental illness. I think it's unfair to attack someone with mental illness, would Miley have done the same if Sinead had a broken leg?
Personally, I think Sinead didn't write this letter to be intentionally horrible but the media has made it out to be something it's not.
But after these tweets were sent, Sinead wrote another open letter. 

"You have posted today tweets of mine which are two years old, which were posted by me when I was unwell and seeking help so as to make them look like they are recent" she wrote. "In doing so you mock myself and Amanda Bynes for having suffered with mental health issues and for having sought help".

Continuing, the Irish artist added: "It is most unbecoming of you to respond in such a fashion to someone who expressed care for you".

It's also pretty clear that Miley won't say sorry for her tweets as quoted in her documentary which aired last night; "I love that you never apologized for who you were. It's something I had to learn. ... I'm sick of feeling as if I owe someone an apology for being who I am."

Nothing compares to a piece of good old advice

Sinead O' Connor, Irish singer turn advice giver?

That's how it looks like, giving advice to Miley Cyrus on her recent actions. Rumour has it that Cyrus's had the inspiration for the 'Wrecking Ball' from O' Connor's video 'Nothing compares to you', so clearly Miley looks up to Sinead which sparked this advice and open letter.

"I am happy to hear I am somewhat of a role model for you and I hope that because of that you will pay close attention to what I am telling you, I am extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way 'cool' to be naked and licking sledgehammers in your videos...It is in fact the case that you will obscure your talent by allowing yourself to be pimped, whether it's the music business or yourself doing the pimping."

'Nothing but harm will come in the long run, from allowing yourself to be exploited, Please, in future, say no when you are asked to prostitute yourself."

"It is absolutely NOT in ANY way an empowerment of yourself or any other young women, for you to send across the message that you are to be valued (even by you) more for your sexual appeal than your obvious talent…Whether we like it or not, us females in the industry are role models and as such we have to be extremely careful what messages we send to other women…The message you keep sending is that it's somehow cool to be prostituted.. it's so not cool Miley... it's dangerous."

Wonder how Miley will respond or if she'll take the advice. Personally, i hope she does. She has talent and i think her new image is shadowing that, pushing it to the side and making people forget what she does, SINGS! Not twerks or swinging around on a wrecking ball, let's hope she goes back to her old ways.

Sky is out!

It's official, Sky Ferreira has dropped out the Vampire Weekend tour due to illness.
Ferreria took to facebook to tell fans her reasons for not being able to continue with the tour...

"Due an illness affecting my vocal chords, my doctor has prescribed several days of total vocal rest. Sadly, the timing will force me to miss this week's shows with Vampire Weekend. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused for the band and fans. I'm doing my best to re-join the tour as soon I'm 100%."

However, don't be disappointed, Sky is scheduled to perfom with boyfriend Zachary Cole Smith at an Elliott Smith tribute show later this month.

Let's hope things are on the rise for Ferreira after the arrest!

Europe's biggest dance festival reaches to the US.

Tomorrowland, the biggest and the best dance festival in Europe and some (me) would say it's the world's best is brunching off to America with Tomorrowworld.

Tomorrowworld will be in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia America and is starting in 3 days. It's a three day festival, September 27,28 and 29th. However, you may decide to camp in Dreamville, then the festival will be 4 days.

You can watch the live stream on the Tomorrowland Channel.

To all those going, you're incredible lucky and coming from someone who has been to tomorrowland, it will be the best few days of your life!

Who doesn't like Disclosure?

Looks like these two English brothers have a following from a celebrity fan base. From Azealia Banks to Elton John,  everyone loves Disclosure!

The most recent fan to come forward is the slightly controversial, Leonardo Dicaprio look a like Avicii. The swedish DJ made his feelings clear about the bros when making a playlist for Rdio, which had tunes by the boys and hits from Jay Z.

I wonder who will be next to come forward and declare their love for Disclosure...  Lady Gaga? Paul McCartney? Could be anyone.
