Lilly Allen the 21 year old UK pop star known for her brash behavior and topping the UK pop charts with her single ‘Smile’ forget the lyrics to her own song halfway through a charity bash.

Sheepishly halfway through singing ‘Everything’s Just Wonderful’ Lilly Allen had to stop and apologize to the audience. Whilst someone back stage had to google for the songs lyrics which were than passed onto her.

The song was restarted with Lilly Allen reading her lyrics from the printed pages.

See kids too much alcohol at a young age isn’t good for you.

Redoctane’s Guitar Hero II is now setting the trend for guitar rhythm games from the likes of Konami’s original Guitar Freaks, now Tenacious D is now paying homage with a Flash-based web game.

Forgot about music appearing on vinyl, compact disc and MP3s (as in digital downloads). The record industry has a new gimmick to entice music fans back to the high street: a computer memory stick the size of a cigarette lighter.

The device, which will cost £3.99, will allow rock fans to transfer Keane’s new single, Nothing In My Way - as well as other music tracks, videos and screensavers - on to their own computer or MP3 player.

Aimed at techno-savvy fans and older downloaders, the gadget will go on sale exclusively in HMV stores from October 30th. Record label executives hope that it will develop into a credible alternative to the CD.

“You just plug it into your PC or Mac and that’s it,” said Jon Turner, general manager of Island Records, Keane’s label. “We’re very keen to see people’s reactions to it.”

Turner sees the device as a one-off opportunity and will be interested in how the consumer receives this new format. If this proves to be successful, he said that there could be more releases in 2007. “I do see it as a potential format for the future, but I don’t think it’s going to run down the use of digital services,” he said. “It’s an interesting experiment.”

While record labels have enjoyed surprisingly buoyant sales over recent years, the rise of internet downloads – in particular the success of Apple’s iPod music player and its iTunes online store - has cut into their profits and taken away much of their control.

Apple dictates the price of downloads, which restrains the amount that music companies make from each sale. And the battle over pricing has created a tense relationship between the different arms of the music business, with Apple chief executive Steve Jobs last year attacking labels for what he called “greedy” behaviour.

The long-term view is to revive the singles market, which has suffered from over-commercialisation and an unhealthy obsession with teenage pop fans, which are deserting physical sales in droves. Digital downloads now account for around half of all top 40 sales.

“Everything is moving towards download now,” said Simon Dyson, a music analyst with Informa. “I can’t see this being something that’s commonplace, but it’s a good idea for people who haven’t completely moved to downloads and breaking them in gently.”

But will it be successful to release new music on this format? I remember Sony releasing Mini Discs in the mid 1990s and this really didn’t take off. My main concern is sound quality and the price of releasing albums on memory sticks.

David Hasselhoff’s new single ‘Jump Into My Car‘ still maintains the top 10 in the UK Top 40 chart this week. After entering the top 10 singles in seventh, the Hoff has been ’shafted’ down three positions…

Check out the amusing music video below and help the Hoff reach number 1!

The Who singer Roger Daltrey will star in an episode of hit American series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, according to reports.

Daltrey is set to guest star in the CBS crime drama, but producers are keeping details of his character a secret, says trade paper the Hollywood Reporter.

Songs by The Who serve as theme tunes for the original Las Vegas-based CSI and spin-offs, CSI: Miami and CSI: NY.

The rock band, currently on tour in the US, releases their latest album Endless Wire on 31 October.

Daltrey is not new to the acting scene as he was nominated for a Golden Globe for his portrayal in the 1975 adaptation of rock opera, Tommy.

He has also appeared on stage in musicals including A Christmas Carol and The Wizard of Oz.

Producers called the forthcoming CSI performance “a surprise role that will keep viewers guessing”.

The band is best known for their 1960s hits such as My Generation and I Can See For Miles. The tour is their first world tour for 20 years.

Here are the current top 10 UK Music Albums from the official data gathered by the BBC.

1. Razorlight - Razorlight

2. Lily Allen - Alright Still

3. Paolo Nutini - These Streets

4. Kooks - Inside In/ Inside Out

5. Muse - Black Holes & Revelations

6. Snow Patrol - Eyes Open

7. Ray Lamontagne - Trouble

8. Nina Simone - The Very Best Of

9. Rihanna - A Girl Like Me

10. Zutons - Tired Of Hanging Around

From this list I only have the Muse album and I didn’t think it was that great… Its a bit of a departure from their usual material. Anyone heard or have the other albums?

If you have seen the animé called NANA then you know what this is about… If not and you are a fan of Japanese music then I’d suggest seeking out these two songs - Rose (OP) and A Little Pain (ED). It captivates the animé perfectly and hopefully they have more singles or possibly an album coming up for me to review.
