Advert of Michael Jackson London Tour

Yes, Michael Jackson is back, 12 years after his last tour. He is set to play 10 dates at the O2 London this July. However the rumour says if he’s doing well they might add another 20 dates to make it the longest residency tour at the O2 yet, a record previously held by Prince for 21 dates in 2007. It is also reported that he will at least receive £1.5 million for each of his performances.

During the press conference Michael said this will be his last performances in London. I doubt it will be, this is Michael Jackson we’re talking about , the biggest pop star of our generation. If Prince managed 21 dates, he will have no problems doing 30 !

Watch out people, MJ mania will hit London! Welcome back Michael !

Loney Dear – Airport Surroundings

In Pop, Stuff I Love on March 5, 2009 at 1:06 pm

Loney Dear is basically a one man band from Sweden. Everything is played and recorded by Emil Svanängen in his bedroom. He only just signed by a major record label for his latest album Dear John (although this is actually his 5th album) and the first single is Airport Surroundings.

It’s classic Loney Dear with a bit of 80’s twist. The “na na na” is still there combined with lots of synths and Warren G’s style rap.  Don’t freak out, it actually sounds nice. It starts with upbeat drums and funky bassline which is quite a departure for Loney Dear, normally he likes to start slow and build up towards the end.

The song is now available on iTunes. Although i have to say, i prefer the album version than the one on the video

Rating: 5/5
