With a ladder and some glasses, you could se ..What's that, Radio One? Your big weekend in going to be in East London this summer ? Yes, that's a brilliant idea. It's not like every bloody thing else is happening in East London this summer, is it? I'm still at a loss as to how it makes everyone feel like the Olympics is a nation event when it's acting like a giant magnet that just sucks everything, inexorably, back into the capital. Anyway, line-up: Plan B. Jessie J. Andy C. And some people with full surnames. -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and ...No Rock&Roll Fun3 February 2012

Watch: Siinai – Finish Line [Best Fit UK Pre ..I can’t wait for the Olympics. It’ll be impossible to traverse London for a month. Protest is going to be banned. There will be 13,500 troops on the streets. Really, it’s going to be just great. Of course, there are positive elements to this absurd circus. It is at least partially about humans doing extraordinary [...]The Line Of Best Fit26 January 2012

Gordon in the morning: Jagger swaggerNot often the scribbling of Tom Newton Dunn, The Sun's political editor, makes it onto Gordon's pages, but his story today that Mick Jagger is going to help Cameron promote Britain . Of course, this is at an event overseas; Jagger and The Rolling Stones being famously averse to spending too long in Britain lest they actually pay their fair share of tax. It's at Davos, which will give Mick a chance to visit his money at the same time. This, apparently, is a "publicity coup": The Rolling Stones legend will be star attraction at an event in ...No Rock&Roll Fun24 January 2012

Elbow Discuss Olympics ThemeElbow have discussed the new song they have composed as a theme for the Olympics. Still almost six months away, the Olympics are already making an impact on the music schedule. The Big Chill decided to postpone this summer's instalment recently, with organisers citing the sporting ceremony as a factor. But for all its disruption, the Olympics could have a positive contribution to the British music scene. Case in point? New material from Elbow. The band were commissioned to supply the theme song for the BBC's coverage of the event, and have responded with 'First Steps'. Bass player ...Clash Music23 January 2012

Standards: Good Lovin'Monkeys Typing : Good Lovin' [Not available for purchase, but see below for more downloads] 1965 was the year I began listening to pop music. It's also the year Good Lovin' was written and released, though I can't claim to having heard either the Limmie Snell or The Olympics versions. I was, however, very much tuning in to AM radio when the more popularly known Young Rascals version hit the charts in 1966. The song is ranked number 325 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and as such, has been a standard for more than ...Star Maker Machine23 January 2012

Big Chill: Olympics ruins it for music fans ..The Olympics - apparently some sort of superannuated sports day - was already a major part of the decision for Glastonbury to take a year off; Now it's claimed the Big Chill as well : The Big Chill festival's Melvin Benn, Managing Director Festival Republic, said he considered changing the date of the festival but admitted he also faced problems of artist availability: “It is with a considerable amount of regret that I have decided not to go ahead with The Big Chill in 2012. “I looked long and hard late last year at moving the date so it didn’t ...No Rock&Roll Fun21 January 2012

The Big Chill Festival fall at first hurdle ..The Big Chill Festival has been cancelled this year, with the Olympics cited as the main reason. Festival organiser Melvin Benn released the following statement earlier today: “I looked long and hard late last year at moving the date so it didn’t clash with the Olympics but the mix of the festival fans desire to keep the date and an inability to find an alternative date that works, I plumped for maintaining the existing weekend. Sadly, the artist availability and confirmations we were achieving led me to conclude that I couldn’t risk going ahead with the event as ...The 40520 January 2012

Stream: Mammal Club - Towards You With Lust ..Words: Saam Das We first talked about Northerners Mammal Club in October 2010 , followed by our excitement over their 'Au' EP last April. 'Otter' still stands out as one of my favourite tracks of 2011. Anyway, they've returned with a wonderfully ethereal slice of experimental pop, which you can listen to below. 'Toward You With Lust' is actually a track that's been floating along for well over a year now, with the YouTube performance video below, filmed way back in September 2010. A new hypnotic, nostalgic-sports-day-themed video has been put together - perhaps with the Olympics arriving on our ...Keep Hope Inside12 January 2012
