Lily chooses fashion over music

Lily Allen has chosen to retire from her musical career to focus on fashion. This morning, she announced over Sky News that her last concert will be on March 7th at London’s 02.

She will be helping out designer friend Wayne Hemingway with his line Vintage at Goodwood while also managing her own collection Lucy in Disguise.

“I’m helping Wayne out with this first of all and then I’m opening up a shop with my sister and a couple of other people and I’m really busy,” she said. “I’m in the office every day, sourcing clothes and getting really excited about my new venture.”

iTunes hits the big 10 Billion

Don’t even get me started on the whole paying for music thing. I think what iTunes does is great, particularly because they make so much money off of it and people are willing to pay $1 or more for songs. I think sometimes putting a money value on something shows people its worth. I hate to relate this back to theology, but only because I had that class today, I was thinking that we take a lot of things for granted. Everything sometimes. Let’s not forget that the music that we listen to comes from hard hard work from our favorite artists. Right? Therefore, slightly justified. And as much as I …support what iTunes and Apple does doesn’t exactly mean that I follow what I support? ;)

Here’s some more facts about mainstream music. We all love that.

The Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” is the most-downloaded song

Lady Gaga is the artist with the most songs toward the top, with “Poker Face” at #2, “Just Dance” at #6 and “Bad Romance” at #22

All of the top 25 tracks were released in the past five years (Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” is the newest at #10) except for one: “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

The person who bought the 10 billionth track gets a $10,000 iTunes gift card. [WHOA. 10,000 songs...lucky]

And what was the 10 billionth song downloaded?!

Song of the Day

Ellie Goulding – Sweet Disposition

I really like this song. It’s one of my favorites despite it’s over hypeness right now. Seriously I hate mainstream music. A lot. If you didn’t know, the original band that performs this song is The Temper Trap. You’ve probably heard this song in that one car commercial, that one episode of Greek (season finale of last year) and 500 Days of Summer. Twice.

Also Ellie has a very pretty voice, I know some people don’t like the soft whispery types, but I LOVE it.

Kthanks
