Nothing News - #1

The trouble with reporting about music is that there is often not enough to talk about. As a result, a good number of information outlets on the web feel it necessary to fill their pages with content which greatly lacks bite.


Arguably, by highlighting such "stories" on this blog, we are further perpetuating the mundaneness of them, but we'd like to think we're simply highlighting what the music press seems to constitute as news nowadays.


We'll be keeping an eye out for particularly bland pieces of information and posting as and when we can. If you should find any yourself, please do drop us an e-mail.


So, first up is:


#1 - Lana Del Rey cancels a gig


Why should we care? Because Lana is the future of music, don't cha know?


But I wasn't going to the gig anyway... True, but the gig was in London, and their gigs are far important than the ones where you live (assuming bands even bother playing in your dump-of-a-town).


That's a bit uncalled for. So, what's her excuse? She's not feeling well.


That's a bit lame, isn't it? Yes, it is, but the poor thing has had a hard time lately being the centre of attention.


That's true. Was she the only act on the bill? No, the gig is still going ahead, but 'Our Lana' won't be there. The Maccabees were the headliners, not Miss Rey.


Oh, I like them. It's not really the end of the World then, is it? No, I guess it isn't.
