It should come as no surprise that Michael Jackson continues to smash records and according to a recent poll by Nokia Ovi Music Store the King of Pop has become the most downloaded artist of all time. The recent surge in downloads has been attributed to the anniversary of his death on 25th of June and his 52nd birthday which would have been celebrated on Sunday (29th of August). The most popular tracks “Beat It”, “Billie Jean” and “Thriller” are from the height of his success as a solo performer in the 1980′s. This is the same era that our own Amplified Michael Jackson T shirts reference.

Klaxons second album which was released on Monday is influenced by another alternative sub culture and is not just more of the nu rave sounds that earned them critical acclaim with their first album in 2007. Surfing the Void has been produced by Ross Robinson who in the past has worked with metal bands such as Korn and Slipnot. Tracks such as the recent single ‘Echoes’ are reminiscent of the style on Myths of the Near Future and the record in it’s entirety doesn’t abandon the sound that has made them so popular. However, Ross’s influence on the album is said to have pushed the band closer to nu metal as guitar riffs and a distorted rock sound feature heavily. Fans will be pleased that the band have continued to experiment whilst still having made another dance record. 
The BBC has reported that filming has begun for a film inspired by a real life hoax that took place in 2004 in order to expose ageism in the music industry.

The single made the top 30. Lily Allens dad Keith Allen and ex-Eastenders geezer Phil Daniel will star in Vinyl which is based on these events.
