Ke$ha is legendary for her glittery, a little obscure party girl style. And, so when she stopped by the MTV Stories offices last week, we totally needed to understand if there will come a point when we too can get a line of attire designed by the “Tik Tok” vocalist so we too can rock her look. And, the answer’s shortly! Ke$ha made public that she is hard at work on a fashion line and it’ll include some actually engaging looks.
“[My line] will be coming and there’ll be capes involved, “she shared.” I am trying actually tough to bring back capes. They have been out since the 1800s, it’s about time they came back.” While we applaud her aspiration to bring back capes, we aren’t sure we’re on board with this other goal. “I am doing [design my personal stuff] and I’m employed with people that help me,” she revealed. “as an example they designed this hat. We find roadkill and put it on my attire and recycled feathers.” Being that she is wearing dead things she finds on the side of the road, it must smell a little right? “No! I mean we wash it. Nevertheless it is roadkill,” she announced. “I suspect it is important not to kill animals.
I also think it is a respect to the animal if it is already dead and sitting on the side of a road. I may just as well wear it on MTV.” In other story, Ke$ha and her pro drummer lover Alex Carapetis are attached at the hip as they take a romantic stroll thru the SoHo neighborhood of New York on Monday afternoon ( Aug sixteen ). K$ is touring as the opening for Rihanna’s Last Girl on Earth concert. Alex is presently the touring drummer for The Strokes face Julian Casablancas. The lovable couple went public with their relationship at Lollapalooza Music Holiday earlier in the month. K$ looks so astonishingly happy!!!
Decca is offering an album deal and a performance at the Royal Albert Hall to the winning choir, and has placed adverts in the non secular press under the header: “Has your parish got talent?”
Choirs are going through a revival, thanks partly to the successfulness of Glee, the Channel four show about a college singing group. Albums of non secular music have also proved favored - The Clergymen , 3 Roman Catholic monks from North Eire , are a top selling act.
The winning act will blend both genres and record an album of hymns. The competition is open to each parish, church, gospel or community choir in the UK. Mark Wilkinson, general boss for Decca Records, claimed : “Hymn singing is in the country’s DNA. This is what you can call real soul music - music that may induce, uplift and combine folks like no other music can, and when you watch
Glee Music Videos, you definitely will agree it .”
The drive has won the backing of Howard Goodall, the choral composer and broadcaster. “Singing together is among the most enjoyable, affirmative and life-enhancing activities any person can do, and it is very clear that there’s a resurgence in community and choral singing happening in the United Kingdom now.
“This is about joy and collaboration and unharnessing the sound of the country’s soul.

Unless you’ve plenty of time, getting hold of a ticket for a sports event or music gig is never easy. For example, the whole 2,500,000 tickets were snapped up for the up-and-coming U2 tour of the US. So just how can a person who’s got a full time job get their hands on a ticket if they’re selling out so quickly?
Go to the second-hand market.
In the dismal days before the internet, you had to buy your second-hand ticket through a dodgy tout at the event itself. This inevitably meant paying double or triple the face value, or even possibly handed bogus tickets which would inevitably be spotted as you entered the event - meaning you miss the music gig or sports event while wasting your money by being conned.
However, things have improved for sports and music lovers. The secondary ticket market has cleaned up its act in the last 10 years or so, with much thanks to the internet. These days there is a huge amount of competition to resell tickets on the internet, the industry has become self-regulating. You’re selling the ticket for HOW much?! I’ll look elsewhere! And so many ticket sellers provide very cheap insurance if the event / gig is called off. And with stiff competition online, secondary tickets have become cheaper to the point that it can sometimes be you’re not paying a lot more than the actual initial price of the ticket.
Nowadays you can buy tickets for many sorts of sports events and concerts. From cricket to soccer to basketball matches, to getting your hands on decent seats for your favourite band; resale tickets offer up a second chance to attend the event you want to go to. How can you get tickets online? Use a search engine like Google and key in your keyphrase like X Factor tickets, and you will find a large array of secondary ticket agents who can sell that ticket to you.
Not everyone is happy with secondary tickets however. For example, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails calls secondary ticket agents “parasites”, and he’d like to see an end to the resale of event tickets. However, he’s missing the point of resold tickets : people simply do not have the time to queue up for tickets. They’re more likely working when the tickets are on sale, and physically cannot be in the right place at the right time to get hold of the ticket they want in that precious 60 or so minutes it takes for an entire tour to sell out.
While there is strong competition between secondary ticket agents, we believe this is a much needed service for true fans who were unable to buy the tickets the first time around.
What do you get when you mix a legendary house DJ with one of the year’s most exciting new pop talents? Well, in the case of our latest B-side of the Week, a three-minute club banger that’s bound to get your toes tapping on a Thursday morning.
Having recently helped Dizzee Rascal to No.1 with ‘Bonkers’, AVH is in high demand at the moment, and there’s good reason why. Showing typical ingenuity, he’s reswizzled ‘Box N Locks’, the debut single from south London singer-songwriter MPHO’s Box N Locks, into a dance track that whirls like a tornado.
That Martha and the Muffins sample has been removed, her vocal’s been slowed right down, and a bassline that can only be described as “MASSIVE!” has been added. Press play below to listen to a 60-second clip, and if you like it, the full version’s available on the iTunes download bundle from Monday.
MPHO is a British talent like no other. A genre-defying singer, songwriter and producer, she has enormous global crossover pop potential. Already a name to drop amongst people in the know, MPHO is set to be one of the most exciting names of 2009.
Her debut single on Parlophone/Wall of Sound, Box N Locks is produced by acclaimed maestro, Switch. The track samples the legendary guitar hook from the Martha and the Muffins new wave hit, Echo Beach.
Concert tickets are big business and sometimes hard to come by. There are many ways of ensuring you get to see your favourite artists. Here are 10 Tips to consider when looking to purchase concert tickets.
1) Find out in advance where the band or artist is going on tour. Check the bands website for this information.
2) Search the main website to see if tickets are still available. One will be designated the main vendore for concert tickets, so check with these.
3) Join the bands fan club if they have one ( most do ). They often make tickets available to members first.
4) Have a look on ebay to see if the tickets you are after are advertised for sale
5) If buying from someone on ebay check their seller feedback/reputation first. Make sure you know how and when you will receive your tickets following payment.
6) Search concert ticket broker websites
7) When purchasing tickets on the internet, make sure the connection is secure and verified when entering credit card details.
Beware of fraudulent concert ticket sellers. Try to find a marketplace that offers a guarantee on transactions for peace of mind.
9) Avoid scalpers. These are the ticket touts that will try to sell you tickets on the street. They are best avoided.
10) Have a look at stubhub.com and tickets.com as possible alternatives to the more well known ticketmaster.com
Okay, so remember, buy early, watch out for fraud and try to get the best price possible. Look at all the different online concert ticket vendors and compare prices. Try to use a marketplace that offers some guarantee on transactions undertaken and avoid desperate last minute buying from ticket- touts. Most of all, enjoy the concert!
