 On February 10 U.K. songstress Lily Allen celebrated the release of her new album, It’s Not Me, It’s You, with a show put on by MySpace as part of their “Secret Show” series. The intimate performance was held at the Bowery Ballroom and featured a relaxed Allen, who sipped on wine in between songs, and a four-piece backing band covering nearly all of the songs from It’s Not Me, It’s You.

Among the highlights of the night were the synth pop track “Back to the Start,” the country-leaning “Not Fair” and a boisterous cover of Britney Spears’ hit single “Womanizer.” The full set list featured: “Everyone’s At It,” “LDN,” “I Could Say,” “Not Fair,” “F*ck You,” “Who’d Have Known,” “22,” “Him,” “Never Gonna Happen,” “Back to the Start,” “Littlest Things,” “Smile,” “The Fear” and “Womanizer.”

Allen, who launched her career on her MySpace page in 2005, thanked the forum and mockingly chastised the audience for already knowing the lyrics to her new songs, hinting that fans had illegally downloaded her songs prior to their official release. Another MySpace “Secret Show” starring Allen will be held in Tokyo on February 25 followed by another show in London with a date to be determined. The “LDN” singer will embark on a U.K. tour in March before hitting the States starting April 1 for a three-week tour. Check out Lily Allen tickets online today.

The daughter of comedian Keith Allen, London native Lily Allen turned to music as a way to cope with her family’s nomadic lifestyle (she attended 13 different schools between the ages of five and 15). Allen was a rebellious teenager who ran away to attend the U.K.’s famed Glastonbury Music Festival when she was 14 and dropped out of high school to following year to pursue a career in music. The dropout posted her demo tapes on her MySpace page less than one year later and enlisted Mark Ronson (with whom she had previously collaborated with for a cover of Kaiser Chief’s “Oh My God” on her second mixtape), Futurecoat and Greg Kurstin to help her work on her debut album.

Lily Allen’s first two singles, “LDN” and “Smile” were officially released in the summer of 2006 and her debut album, Alright, Still, followed soon after. Soon the English rose was the toast of the music industry and Lily Allen tickets were flying off the shelves as she embarked on a tour spanning the U.K., Japan, Australia and the U.S.

On her upcoming tour Allen will cover old tracks as well as new songs from It’s Not Me, It’s You, which the 23-year-old recorded at Eagle Rock Studios in Los Angeles with Kurstin. The always candid Allen tackles her complicated relationship with her father in “He Wasn’t There” and her tabloid reputation as well, in a series of songs that display a more electronic sound than those on her previous album.

 University students and others just out of college in Europe often have just one place in mind for their summer holiday - Ibiza.

To say that Ibiza is known for its nightlife would be somewhat of an understatement. The Mediterranean island, just off the coast of Spain, houses a legendary club scene that draws young tourists in droves each summer. From June to September, the island is a non stop party consisting mostly of young Britons, Germans and Spanish looking for a good time.

Ibiza clubs have become a proving ground for DJs from far and wide. They flock to the clubs to try out their best sounds and gauge the reactions of the wild crowds.

Although Ibiza is known for its club scene, it may soon become even more popular for its summer concerts. Ibiza Rocks, a summer-long music festival which started in 2005, is rapidly becoming an even bigger draw for foreign tourists than the notoriously hedonistic nightlife.

Traditionally, the biggest and best summer music festivals have been in Britain. Brave bands and music lovers have gladly suffered the sometimes miserable British weather to be a part of a legendary festival such as Glastonbury or the Isle or Wight. It’s not uncommon to see festival goers decked out in full rain gear and covered in mud while enjoying the festival sounds.

But Ibiza Rocks is challenging that tradition. Why suffer through the rain, organisers ask, when you can enjoy a summer music festival the way it should be? Ibiza offers an almost perfect climate and year round sunshine. What better place could there be for a music festival celebrating life, youth, and music itself?

That isn’t to say that the club scene is dying down in favour of outdoor festivals. In fact, the new infusion of youthful concert goers seems to have brought new life to the clubs. The DJs are still spinning and the drinks are still flowing, and somehow holidaymakers manage to squeeze in some late night clubbing after a full day of festival fun.

Not into constant partying? Do you still want to enjoy the endless beauty of the Ibiza coast? The island’s tourism board has recently been working to make Ibiza known for more than clubs and parties. It’s entirely possible to enjoy an intimate dinner at a fine restaurant followed by a somewhat sedate live music show at a beach bar.

Resorts on the island are doing their part to make Ibiza more family friendly by offering kids’ activities. And since most of the late night revellers sleep well into the afternoon, the island is perfectly serene for those who choose to do their sight seeing early.

Eco-tourism is a growing industry on Ibiza. Every year, an increasing number of tourists come not for the rowdy clubs, but for the natural beauty of the island. They often visit in the off season and spend their days hiking, swimming, practicing group yoga, and cleaning up the beaches.

Today, Ibiza is no longer just a party destination. No matter who you are or what you hope to accomplish on your holiday, you can carve out the perfect experience on the sandy shores of Ibiza this year.

Long statement saying: “We didn’t do the bad deed”.

Although Coldplay maybe one of the Top 40 greatest British bands, and the singer bagging Gwyneth Paltrow, they seem to have been picking on other people’s songs, specifically guitar god, Joe Satriani.

“The 52-year-old guitar god says in a lawsuit filed this week in Los Angeles that Coldplay copied “substantial, original portions” of his 2004 track “If I Could Fly.” He’s looking for a hefty payout and/or an order blocking the band from performing or releasing “Viva la Vida” in the future.”

Hmmm…
