CMU’s One Liners: John fucking Lewis, Carly Rae Jepsen, Coldplay, more
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 6 November 2015
Other notable announcements and developments today…
• Yet another sad result of the lack of music slots available on British TV these days means that the launch of the John Lewis Christmas advert remains ‘a thing’ people get excited about. You know it’s an advert, right? You’re not allowed to get excited about adverts. Anyway, Aurora is singing on it this year, covering Oasis’ ‘Half The World Away’, and we approved her earlier this year, so that’s nice.
• Carly Rae Jepsen cancelled her show in Bucharest last night “out of respect to everyone affected by the tragic fire” at the Colectiv Club in the city last week. There are also growing safety concerns around live events in Romania, after the country’s Prime Minister Victor Ponta resigned following claims that officials had taken bribes to ignore venues failing to adhere to safety regulations.
• Coldplay, as no one will be surprised to learn, have confirmed that they are releasing a new album on 4 Dec. It’s called ‘A Head Full Of Dreams’. The first single is ‘Adventure Of A Lifetime’ and can be heard here.
• Just like that, out of nowhere, Rustie released a new album out of nowhere. It’s called ‘Evenifudontbelieve’. And even if you don’t believe he released this album, here’s a website telling you of all the places you can listen to it.
• People like Banks, don’t they? I’ve never really got her music, to be honest. Though apparently her new single is better. Oh wait, no, it’s just called ‘Better’. Here it is.
