Well, the speculation is over. XM and Sirius satellite radio are going to merge into one company. The name of that company is as yet undetermined, and many feel the merger will meet with various resistance from the FCC and other factions. Well, it was fun while it lasted. Hopefully it will continue to be, but only time till tell.

Pop music’s most infamous duo are slated to return as the subject of a biopic, with Jeff Nathanson at the helm. Nathanson, if you recall, wrote Catch Me if You Can, which really didn’t do too well at all. But perhaps this will be a new leaf overturned. After all, how many movies will star phonies as phonies? That is, assuming this bipic will actuallyhave stars. God knows it’s going to need something if it doesn’t want to go straight to Lifetime.
Fans of “The Office” will no doubt recall David Brent’s settlement-financed single – a cover of “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” – but were you aware that Ricky Gervais himself was actually a member of synth-pop duo in the ’80s? True story…and God only knows how it’s taken this long to appear on my radar, given that I’m such a massive fan of ’80s synth-pop to begin with.
The band was called Seona Dancing…that’s pronounced Shawna Dancing, ta very much…and since you’re probably still wondering, no, this isn’t a joke. You can go to Gemm.com and find the band’s two singles available from several different vendors…or check out this photo here, from their unofficial MySpace page:
(That’s Ricky on the right.)
And even more oddly, the songs – which can all be downloaded at no charge here – are rather good. Personally, they remind me a bit of B-Movie. But for a few twist of fates here and there, we might well be listening to “More to Lose” or “Bitter Heart” on Flashback Lunches today.
Don’t hold your breath for a reunion tour, though. It’s clear from that this clip that Gervais can’t look back on these days without cringing.
Is any more proof needed?
Wow, it hasn’t been more fun to watch a train wreck like this in ages. And we all thought K-Fed was going to be the one to keep our eyes on. Not so. The former Mrs. Federline was recently photographed in a tattoo parlor with her head completely shaved. Is it just me or does that photo smack of the same kind of nutjob quality that every photo of the Manson Family chicks had in them as well? Next up for Britney: a religious cult!
Big surprise, right? Nah, I didn’t think so, either. Still, Chris Cornell is leaving his group Audioslave, citing the usual personality and musical direction conflicts. Cornell will instead be focusing on his upcoming solo album as well as putting some time in at his restaurant in Paris. I wonder if they serve a “Soundgarden” salad there. HAR!
