A música, nesta semana, há dez anos: 12 a 19 de Fevereiro
Por cá:
Mac DeMarco preparava o clássico Salad Days e gravava o vídeo de uma das canções, “Let My Baby Stay” em… Portugal, num vídeo gravado para o Canal 180.
Os Kaiser Chiefs são confirmados na Expofacic, Jessie J no Rock in Rio, Elbow e PAUS no Alive e John Newman, Jamie Cullum e Tom Odell no Sudoeste.
Por lá:
À última hora, a Rolling Stone troca uma prometida cover com Drake (até teaser já tinha tido) para uma de homenagem a Philip Seymour Hoffman. Seguiu-se muita indignação na forma de vários tweets entretanto apagados, à excepção deste. Eis o comunicado que saiu 1 dia depois:
“With today being the 5th anniversary of So Far Gone I figured it's fitting to return to it's place of its origin in order to clear the air about an extremely emotional day. I completely support and agree with Rolling Stone replacing me on the cover with the legendary Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He is one of the most incredible actors of our time and a man that deserves to be immortalized by this publication. My frustration stemmed from the way it was executed. The circumstances at hand are completely justifiable (on the magazines behalf), but I was not able to salvage my story or my photos and that was devastating. They ran the issue without giving me a choice to be in it or not. I would have waited until it was my time because I understand the magnitude of the cover they chose but I just wasn't given that option and that made me feel violated. I apologize to anybody who took my initial comments out of context because in no way would I ever want to offend the Hoffman family or see myself as bigger than that moment. I am still the same person. Today I was forced out of my character and felt the need to react swiftly. These days are the worst ones. Waking up after a great night in the studio and it's your day to be picked apart. After dwelling on it for a few hours or days you will come to the conclusion that you brought it on yourself almost every time. So here I am having that moment. I once again apologize to everybody who took my cover comments the wrong way. I respect Rolling Stone for being willing to give a kid from Toronto a shot at the cover. I guess this is a day to learn and grow.
Sincerely,
The Boy”

Curtas:
- Morre Bob Casale, guitarrista dos Devo, aos 61 anos, vítima de insuficiência cardíaca.
- Já aqui o dissemos: toda a gente fazia a canção: Katy B e T.I. juntam-se para a sua versão de “Drunk in Love” de Beyoncé. The Weeknd também remixa a canção, assim como Diplo. E Kanye West.
- Twin Shadow é mais conservador e atira-se a “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” e os MØ e os London Grammar são mais descomprometidos e fazem de “Say You’ll Be There” das Spice Girls e “Pure Shores” das All Saints, respectivamente.
- Os De La Soul nem sempre celebram, mas quando celebram… oferecem o catálogo. Foi o que aconteceu para assinalar os 25 anos de 3 Feet High and Rising.
