Los Campesinos! totally just predicted #piggate

Claims that David Cameron once put “a private part of his anatomy into a dead pig’s mouth” sent Twitter into a frenzy of Photoshopped pics, porcine puns and gasping disbelief.

If you're not into politics then this post isn't for you, but if you are then you'd know that earlier on this year Los Campesinos! released a new t-shirt prior to the general election with David Cameron kissing a pig's head, and it turns out they predicted the future! The band are now considering to re-print the t-shirt to raise even more money for their charity.

Foals upload a blank photo - fans go crazy

Foals have uploaded a blank image on their facebook page, and it seems that the whole entire fanbase has gone mad for it, with some claiming that it's the start of their new album teasers.

Mad if you ask me, could mean literally anything.

Is this ET? Find out below.

Dalai Lama set to appear at Glastonbury Festival

Maybe the oddest festival appearance we've posted about, but it looks like the infamous Dalai Lama is set to be appearing at Glastonbury Festival, most likely preaching his wise words to a crowd full of revellers.

The post has since been taken down from his website, but he is still confirmed to appear at Kempton Racecourse in Middlesex on the Monday after the festival, so odds on that he'll be in Somerset!

Watch Petr Cech cover Foo Fighters and Coldplay

The Chelsea goal-keeper is known for his music taste and drumming skills, as well as his safe pair of hands when in the goal. This season he's been mainly used as a substitute primarily down to the rise of Belgian keeper Courtois. So what has he been doing? Well, as you can see from the videos below he has covered Foo Fighters' "Walk" and Coldplay's "Clocks".

German band Deichkind start crazy eBay auction

eBay has seen many weird auctions in its history. Towns, islands, military aircraft and even a wife have been put on sale (the woman was put on the website by her husband after cheating on him; eBay later terminated the sale). German Electro-Punk/HipHop band have taken music-themed auctions on the site to a new level by trying to sell the following items. The auction ends tomorrow and the current bid lies at 4100€ with the money going to charity.

You can buy these items: 
      7" signed copy of their single "Ich habe eine Fahne" (I smell of alcohol / I have a flag)
      +1 guest list for every(!) future Deichkind gig
      Porky's (band member) underwear
      "ATOMIC BOUNCER" (a trampoline the band crowd surf with)
      a jumper, a yoga mat and small figures from their music video
      a pair of NikeID trainers designed by the band
      a Sony Xperia Z1

      and so much more…

Hipsters wearing flowers in their beards

Robin Thicke sells an amazing 53 albums in Australia in one week!

You heard it here! Yes, we're blogging about the biggest flop in recent years, he has one song with over 300,000,000 views on YouTube, but as the way with music these days it looks like he's a one hit 'wonder' as he has only shifted 53 albums in Australia, with less than 400 being sold in the UK.

Quite woeful but in other respects simply amazing, just shows that YouTube success doesn't mean sales.

Listen to Britney Spears' "Alien" without autotune

This does prove my point I make that, 'artists' these days who are in the charts just sing over a instrumental and claim it to be theirs. Then the vocals get auto-tuned in, here we have a prime example with Britney Spears, former girlfriend of Justin Timberlake and Texan.


Yes she still may be attractive, but that's where my interest stops. Scroll on down to kill your ears! Allthough I want to point out this is better than some band's initial demos! So it's not terrible... as such.

Justin Bieber accused of attempted robbery in Los Angeles

You would've thought that Justin Bieber would have lots of money and would not resort to try to rob people of possessions. Well, it seems that he does have a criminal lurking within him as he has been accused of attempting to rob a woman of her mobile phone in LA.


According to NME, the singer, who has not been arrested, is accused of trying to grab a mobile phone out of a woman's bag after she had taken pictures of him at a mini golf course in LA. It's the latest in a string of problems for the Canadian.

In February, he was charged with assaulting a limousine driver in Toronto late last year, and earlier in the year, police searched his home after he allegedly threw eggs at a neighbour's house.

Lonely? Come to the Moomin Café

If you're like me and a bit lonely sometimes - I'm not going to go into details here - you'd fancy some company right when drinking a cuppa. Well instead of hiring a hooker, why not go to a cafe where you can have a Moomin to accompany you...


A restaurant claims to have solved the dilemma of solo dining alone by offering customers the chance to eat with large stuffed animals instead. The Moomin Café in Tokyo, Japan has a selection of toys available to keep you company over lunch.

If I did go to Tokyo I wouldn't be on my own, but then again we all thought Cat Cafe's were mad, expect to see this in Soho in London soon, I'd imagine.

The 1975 are working with One Direction

Ok, this is the last straw! The Manchester based band are not the only ones who have been collaborating with the boy-band, The Vaccines, Pharrell and Good Charlotte have all been at some point working with the X-Factor 'band'.


His Mum (Denise Welch) has said in a recent inteview in a UK paper that...
"He's writing a song for them. I'm friends with Harry Styles' mum, Anne. I always know when she's tweeted me because I've got 27,000 of the 1D army and the 1975 army [on my timeline] and they go into meltdown."
The 1975 yesterday released yet another great video, watch the visual for "Robbers" below, careful this is NSFW.
