Guns N Roses: Slash Talks About Axl
2008-02-13 12:18:00 Possibly the biggest pitfall of being a world famous rocker like Slash is that no-one wants to talk about your current music.

Sheryl Crow - Love Is Free - Single Review
2008-02-13 10:00:00 The charts have been Sheryl Crow free for the last couple of years.

UK Pop Charts - 10 February 2008
2008-02-12 22:41:00 In this weeks edition of the charts, Basshunter refuse to give up their No 1 slot. The industry must’ve forgot to tell them Adele was scheduled for that position. Oops!

Yoko Ono Tries To Kill Off Lennon

2008-02-08 23:57:00 It’s been a while sine we wrote about Amy Winehouse here on Unreality Music.

Kylie Minogue - Wow - Single Review
2008-02-08 23:09:00 We’ve been a bit hard on Kylie here at Unreality Music lately. 2 Hearts didn’t light a fire under us, and we felt she might have gone off her game a little bit.

2008-02-05 22:46:00 Rob got in touch to recommend his flatmate Context , a rapper from Norwich. Rob says “Context calls his type of music ‘Dub Hop’.

Paramore - Misery Business - Single Review
2008-02-04 23:30:00 Hayley Williams and her emo/punk outfit are back with Misery Business , one of those nasty, angry songs that is soooo satisfying to listen to. Miss Williams delivers her lyrics with amazing venom. Suffice to say, after a few verses of this song, she’s pretty much gained ‘ballbreaker’ status in my book. Which I like, by the ...

Kanye West ft Chris Martin - Homecoming - Single Review
2008-02-04 22:59:00 Problem. I love Kanye West , but I hate Chris Martin. And yet here they are, collaborating on West’s latest single, Homecoming. I have to admit, Chris Martin was the last person I expected to find on a Kanye West track. Taking whiny Indie vocals and adding them to a hip-hop track doesn’t work. More About: Review , Single

Kelly Rowland - Work (Freemasons Remix) - Single Review
2008-02-02 15:20:00 Work is the single where Kelly Rowland finally steps out from the shadow of Beyonce Knowles’ formidable ass and stands on her own. Well, almost.
