Random Music News for March 28, 2014

I could do a whole post on each of these, but maybe it’s better I just offer links to the original sources.

  1. Chris Martin’s goopy “conscious uncoupling” with Gwyneth Paltrow may be related to her adherence to Kabbalah. Meanwhile, were there clues to the marital strife in Coldplay’s music?
  2. Something thinks it’s a good idea to let Madonna direct a movie. Haven’t they learned from her previous two outings?
  3. Mick Jagger is the sole heir to the estate of designer, L’Wren Scott, his late girlfriend.  Her company was in terrible debt when she took her life. What does this mean for Mick?
  4. Someone told me (someone who would know) say that the plaintiffs in the Courtney Love “twibel” trial want to take another crack at it.
  5. Yeah, U2 is in London doing more recording.  (Thanks to Alan for the link.)
  6. Kate Bush has added a whack more shows to her upcoming residency in London this summer. The first gig will be August 26 and the run will conclude October 1. Tickets for all 22 shows officially go on sale at 09:30 GMT (5:30 ET) tomorrow (March 28).
  7. Rapper Pit Bull wants to be a billionaire. (Thanks to John.)
  8. This will be the most expensive musical instrument ever sold.
  9. Cool map shows the UK’s most popular artists city by city.  We need something like this for Canada.
