James Durbin - Memories Of A Beautiful Disaster - Album Cover & Tracklisting
Here is the tracklisting of James Durbin's debut album. I am looking forward to listening to some tracks from his music.
Westlife Announce Split
Chart-topping act Westlife are to split "amicably" after 14 years and 26 top ten hits, they have announced. The Irish group will bow out following a farewell tour next year and said they are looking forward to "new ventures". Over the course of their career the group has achieved 14 number one hits.
In a statement the group said: "Over the years Westlife has become so much more to us than just a band. Westlife are a family." The group - for many years managed by Louis Walsh - survived the departure of one of its founding members Bryan McFadden, and continue seamlessly as a four-piece. Singer Mark Feehily also won admiration for announcing he was gay when the boy band were at the peak of their success.
They produced hit after hit, with singles such as 'Swear It Again' and 'Flying Without Wings' among their number ones. Many of their big hits over the years were cover versions, such as 'You Raise Me Up', 'When You Tell Me That You Love Me' and 'I Have A Dream', and they capitalised on a swing revival by recording a Rat Pack-style album Allow Us To Be Frank.
Members Feehily, Kian Egan, Shane Filan and Nicky Byrne are due to release a greatest hits album shortly. They said they had "countless memories that we will forever cherish" from their years together.
Here are some of Westlife's finest moments.
James Morrison - I Won't Let You Go - Music Video
I recently downloaded all of James Morrison's hits to make a 'story so far' album (coming to this site soon) and this song really stood out to me. Lyrically and musically its just perfect.
Nicole Scherzinger - Try With Me - Music Video
Here is Nicole Scherzingers brand new single 'Try With Me'.
Chord Overstreet Returning To Glee
Entertainment Weekly reported Chord Overstreet is coming back to McKinley High and is currently finalizing a recurring character deal, something he turned down this past summer. Although this means Sam Evans still won't be a series regular, E! News reported fans can see him on the show as soon as this season's eighth episode, and he will be back in time for Sectionals.
When Overstreet turned down a similar offer earlier this year, the show's executive producer, Brad Falchuck, said "we were really disappointed...We wanted him back because we like Chord personally and had some good stories planned for him and with Mercedes (Amber Riley). He decided he would have opportunities elsewhere that he would like to pursue, and we can't force him to work, so we wished him well."
Although no one knows how Sam will be re-introduced to the show, Mercedes has to play some part in it. After all, the two were dating over the summer before his family moved.
Britney Spears - Criminal - Music Video
This video is under strict parental guidance, but it is quite good and is one of the best songs from Britney's 'Femme Fatale' album.
Kelly Clarkson - The Video Collection
To celebrate the release of Kelly Clarkson's amazing new album 'Stronger' I thought I would make a DVD of all her music videos.
One Direction - Gotta Be You
Here is One Directions new single 'Gotta Be You'. I think it will be a grower but it doesn't do much.
Justin Bieber - Mistletoe - Music Video
Here is Justin Bieber's new music video for his new single 'Mistletoe'.
UB40 Members Declared Bankrupt
A judge at Birmingham County Court made the ruling against saxophone player Brian Travers, drummer Jimmy Brown, trumpeter Terence Oswald and percussionist Norman Hassan last week. It comes after the failure of the band's now defunct record label DEP International and a bust-up over finances which split the group in 2008. UB40 sold more than 70 million records over their 33-year career. They notched up more than 50 chart hits including Red Red Wine, I Got You Babe and Kingston Town.
The court order lasts for a year and means that tax officers could seize property to pay off any outstanding debts. The four musicians' details have now been listed by the Insolvency Service. A spokeswoman for former frontman Ali Campbell told the Daily Telegraph the bankruptcy court case showed he was right to quit the band. "It is ironic that the very week they celebrate their first gig they have been declared bankrupt, after administration began in 2006, vindicating both Ali and Mickey Virtue's decision to leave UB40," she said.
Campbell acrimoniously split from the band in 2008 citing "management difficulties". In an open letter to fans on the band's website, he said he was "deeply unhappy with administrative practices", adding he had "an ongoing investigation into the handling of my business affairs in relation to UB40".
A fifth original member of the group - Robin Campbell, the brother of Ali - was also involved in the Birmingham County Court case, although is not listed as bankrupt. The ruling comes a week after UB40 were honoured with a music heritage plaque at the Hare and Hounds pub in Kings Heath, Birmingham, where the band first performed in 1979.
Here is some of UB40's brilliant songs.

Meat Loaf - Hell In A Handbasket - Tracklisting And Review
Meat Loaf has released a brand new album and there was so little promotion I didn't even know. However I have downloaded it and I am going to listen to it today. Until then here is a review from Stephanie Myers for Music Feeds.com.
As a larger-than-life presence in every sense of the word, Meat Loaf doesn’t sing mere songs so much as he sings life anthems. To this end, hearing the news that he was planning on releasing an album, Hell in a Handbasket, self-described as the most personal he’s ever made, comes as a bit of a shock — he’s always made it clear that he’s channeling characters in his songs and on albums (the reason why he’s a middle-aged man railing against parents and schools in Bat Out of Hell II, for example — he’s playing a tormented teenager). But Meat, an accomplished actor with more than 60 films under his belt, is shedding the acting for Handbasket, however, and the transformation is an intense one.
The album, however, is not only a personal record, it’s also a razor-tongued condemnation of what Meat sees as going wrong in the world – and that includes everything from world hunger, money-grabbing industry parasites and fairweather friends. If it sounds ambitious, it is; and more importantly, from a thematic standpoint, the result is a concept album whose subject matter ultimately doesn’t come across as contrived.
The album’s direction is evident from the opening track, All of Me, which is startling in its lack of usual bravado (and dare we say, even showcases some rarely seen vulnerability). Gone is the channeling of an anguished character; this new voice actually admits “these are my insecurities/that I can’t explain.” Another track, The Giving Tree, laments the artificial draw of wealth and fame and extols the virtues of creating a self-made life.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Meat Loaf album without some straight-ahead pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps rock tracks, and the album delivers on this front as well, especially with the radio-ready Fall from Grace. Party of One, meanwhile, is a hard-driving track that reflects the personal and professional turmoil Meat went through after firing his cadre of managers and handlers after suffering a physical breakdown post -Bat Out of Hell III in 2006.
Listening to a duet on a Meat Loaf album is often the equivalent of watching a much older actor play a high-school student rather convincingly — you’re surprised how much you enjoy it, even if you’re not quite sure why it’s happening. Many of Meat’s duets with longtime collaborator Patti Russo are usually fantastically histrionic affairs — breathless numbers that conjure up teenage longing, not more age-appropriate adult relationships. But this album’s duet, Our Love and Our Souls, nails the album’s overall tone home. The song is a stark contrast to the duets that came before it, finding the two in a domestic setting dealing with everyday minutiae — cars and heat breaking down and bills piling up, and consequently learning how to depend on each other. It mirrors the ambiance of the rest of the album; as listeners, we’re witnessing a number of cathartic moments of someone comfortable in his own skin.
There are a couple of covers here, including the Mamas and the Papas’ California Dreamin’ and Tom Cochrane’s Mad Mad World, both keeping in line with the album’s premise. Of course, not all the songs here necessarily adhere to the rest of the album’s theme; Stand In the Storm, a previous collaboration with Meat’s ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ team contestants, is inexplicably included here, name-checking Donald Trump and the team name. But it’s only a small misstep in what is a truly outstanding album.
To say Meat hasn’t been in this form in years wouldn’t technically be true; you’ve never seen him be this raw or candid at all in his music. And it’s a decision that’s a tremendously wise one — Handbasket delivers on all accounts.
