The biggest outdoor festival the other side of Ganesh Chaturthi at Chowpatty beach made no profits in 2008. Eavis told BBC 6 Music Glastonbury costs £22m now, [...]
I think JAY Z and ALICIA KEYS gave the Yankees good luck last night when they performed EMPIRE STATE OF MIND at Yankee Stadium. I wish I could have been there last night to see them do it this song - it was just made for the event!The official video for the track also just premiered and it's really slick!

When I first saw the cover of the latest issue of NME, I thought "Ok, NME...let's not get ahead of ourselves here." As Jay-Z's mock cover of Oasis' "Wonderwall" gets freshly penned in as One Of The Greatest Moments In Music History, I wasn't necessarily a believer that the rapper had reborn the music festival. Deliver an epic performance he did, but I wasn't really buying that it made any major...
