2. Former Spice Girl has a mild hit in the UK.
3. Former Spice Girl makes U.S. debut.
4. Former Spice Girl bombs horribly outside of Europe.
5. Former Spice Girl marries soccer player, or simply disappears from airwaves.
There's also a story about her over at cnn.com for those who are truly interested.


Comfortably Numb
The Scissor Sisters were on Saturday Night Live last night. For me the verdict is still out - I had never heard them until the show. Their first song, "Take Your Mama" was a nice, funky rock song with a good vibe which I enjoyed. Unfortunately, the band came out for their second song and played the absolute worst disco-fied cover of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" that I've ever heard. I can't even begin to describe it - think BeeGee's cover Pink Floyd. I respect a musician's creative license to cover a song, but the Scissor Sisters went a bit too far.



Hail to the Chief
Earlier this week, Jay-Z was named President and CEO of Def Jam Records. He's also got a number 1 record with Linkin Park for their "Collision Course" album. Worth checking out in my opinion if you're a fan of either artist. It's interesting to hear how each band riffs over the other's beats. Of course, Mike Shinoda's flow doesn't compare to Jay's. We'll just have to wait and see what kind of effect Jay has on the hip-hop label, and if he'll come out of retirement at some point.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend....
