• Full V Festival line-up finally announced. Presumably 'Crimera', playing between Oceansize and Bell X1, aren't this lot. Perhaps they mean The Crimea?
• Channel 4 to launch another new music show, which doesn't really sound all that different from the Album Chart Show but well done for trying.
• Robbie Williams releasing another album soon already, featuring William Orbit and Pet Shop Boys. The lead single is called "Rudebox" and may well continue the recent theme of his lead singles being preposterous and really good. The second one will be boring as anything though, no doubt.
