It's rubbish, but it's for charity

New Warchild album, Avril and David Bowie together at last...


There's a new Warchild album out, it's called Hope, and if you buy it money will be raised for the children of Iraq. Not all the money, but the net proceeds after the deduction fof manufacturing costs, licensing costs, mechanical royalty fees, third party marketing, promotion and advertising costs. I don't get paid, but I did get a free copy of the album.



It's all very low key, slightly gloomy and folky sounding stuff, in keeping with the spirit of children having their arms and legs blown off I suppose.



I quite like Avril Lavigne's version of "Knocking on Heaven's Door", but not so much Ronan's version of "In The Ghetto". Some songs should definitely be "listed", like buildings are, so toss pots like that can't mess with them.



That is the end of my review, sorry I have been neglecting popex recently, hope you are all well.

Boy Pop gets DANGEROUS

Someone's threatening to kill Ronan; will it be enough to keep him from the number one spot?

Married pop singer RONAN KEATING is under armed guard right now after threats on his life... If it's a ploy by another pop star to keep him from the number one spot, it could all be in vain, he may not do it anyway...



Musical Differences report that his single may not be eligible for the charts anyway, as CD1 (of a cash in multi pack) is too long to be counted as a single...



So, whoever you are, CALL OFF THE CONTRACT...

Go West(life) Young Man

Westlife "overpriced" says The Market...

Westlife - the Irish popsters "co-managed" by Ronan Keating - are "overpriced" say the majority of popExers... Despite having their 5th and latest single go straight in at number one, as did the previous four, market forces have forced the value of their shares down from a peak of 1041 to 907 pence, nearly a pound below their IPO price. In this, they're similar to lastminute.com, but looking at the specific aspects of their careers (namely DANCING, and SELLING HOLIDAYS) the two are quite different.

On a related note this week Westlife were hit by a bizarre claim that they are "not number one, they've not had five number ones, and they didn't all go straight in at number one". With no information to back this claim up, the anonymous punter seems to have disappeared back into the undergrowth...
