New Move for Simon Pegg
Simon Pegg wants to start directing... and why not start with music videos? Pegg has asked friend Chris Martin of Coldplay if he would be up for Pegg making his debut by making a Coldplay video. Pegg appeared on stage with Coldplay this past December playing harmonica.

Update on MGMT vs French President
I reported on MGMT's music being used without their permission by French Presidents campaign. Well I have an update after legally pursuing Srakozy. MGMT will be receiving a reported €30,000 ($47,860 CDN).

I'll be back next week live in studio :)thanks for tuning in and checking out the website

Classified's MC Challenge

Hey Everyone,

I thought some people might be interested in this contest that the multi-talented MC/Producer Classified has set up. Basically, he is challenging any aspiring MCs to make a name for themselves, using Classified's new single, “Trouble”, off of his latest release. He wants you to listen to his version and read his lyrics, but come up with your own lyrical masterpiece.

The contest closes May 5th at 5:00pm. For more information, go to: http://www.indabamusic.com/contests/show/classified

Good luck to those that decide to enter!
