Fresh from chart success in her native America, Sara Bareilles is launching an assault on the British charts with a love song called Love Song…
Anyway, wasn’t it The Beautiful South who started this trend of writing songs about writing songs? Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue…
R.E.M. release the second single from their Accelerate album, Hollow Man on 2 June 2008. In keeping with the R.E.M. renaissance vibe, Hollow Man is a very straightforward, immediate tune.
I think it speaks of being Middle Aged. I think that we all look at ourselves in the mirror sometimes and wonder just if our lives are what we expected when we were 18.
Vampire Weekend are hot property at the moment. Any serious music publication is talking about them - but who are they and are they any good? This guide will tell you (mostly) everything you need to know about the band, who are not real vampires by the way. Shame, because that would be a great gimmick…

Yay! Chart time again people, and there’s a great mix of big names and new artists. I haven’t heard anything remotely good recently, mostly because the car broke down last week and I haven’t had the luxury of music on the drive to work!

Rihanna has revealed on GMTV how much she’s enjoyed teaming up with Maroon 5 on their next single, If I Never See Your Face Again.
Speaking to GMTV’s Carla Romano in LA, the Good Girl Gone Bad said that working alongside the pop rockers was “Awesome for meâ€.
She went on to heap praise on the lads, saying: “Maroon 5 are one of my favourite bands and when they approached me to do this record, I was like, ‘Any song – I don’t care if it’s a song that I don’t like - I want to do it because Maroon 5 is dope’. But fortunately I love this song – I think it’s a smash.â€
Australian drum and bass duo Pendulum rocked the Radio One Big Weekend this year, and they’ve just released In Silico, their new album. And since it’s been a while since we’ve done an album review round-up, let’s have a look across the Internet to see what other bloggers are saying about In Silico.
These Ting Tings, and their stripped down musical stylings. First it was the very lo-fi Great DJ, which I wasn’t impressed with. That’s Not My Name, by comparison is a major improvement.
The whole song revolves around a repetitive Hey Mickey style drumbeat, which is the only instrumentation at the beginning, gradually joined by guitars and bass and other sound effects until the whole thing builds into a raucous noisy crescendo.
…in this post, I crawl back out of the woodwork and apologise for the unforgivable gaps in posting to Unreality Music…
Feeling sheepish folks, because I lost the thrill of new music there for a little while, despite a passable enough Top 40. So, now I’m back, and we’re all friends again, here’s my take on the latest UK pop chart:
