HOMESTEAD -- Nearly two weeks after a third-lap crash cost Jimmie Johnson 111 points in one weekend, that race in Texas still haunts him. Winning the pole for the season finale certainly helps calm his nerves. That's why after qualifying at a speed of 173.919 mph, more than 1 mph faster than any other driver on the track, he shouted into his radio: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" The three-time defending...

Massive congrats to Upper Clapton's finest, Professor Green, who just signed a deal with Virgin Records. This is Green's second deal; he signed with Mike Skinner's The Beats not long after coming second at the Fight Klub in the Bahama's back in (about!) 2004. After the Beats folded, Green carried on, releasing an EP, making videos and, more recently, teaming up with Lily Allen on a forthcoming single....

Remember Plan B? The hyper social-realistic British rapper made a splash almost 3 years ago with his debut Who Needs Actions When You Got Words, but was overshadowed by the genius/celebrity juggernaut of his 679 labelmate, The Streets. Ben Drew, meanwhile, is no slouch and is really nothing like Mike Skinner at all. He sufficiently [...]

I’m sorry, I know England loves this guy, but something about him rings false. I’m sorry, I know England loves this guy, but something about him rings false. The hype you heard about Jamie T’s debut album (and his breakout single “Sheila”) was built around buzzwords ‘wit’, ‘larrikin’, ‘South London’; in fact, he was more of a teenager...

In the millennial fervour for a generational spokesperson, unassuming Cockneyfied Brummie Mike Skinner proved an unexpectedly engaging contender. Original Pirate Material's chronicles of metropolitan male working-class life supplied the deromanticised dark side of Doherty's moon-faced adulation of urban squalor. Third single Weak Become Heroes, much more than a paean to the occasional perfection of...
