On the cusp of releasing a 7" single of the song "I Can Talk" overseas, anticipation of the band's debut is building and the press is already raving. Of the song, NME gushes "It's herky, it's jerky, it's a mile-a-minute, it's everything we love about guitars and boys. Bloc Party might not want to stay on hiatus too long with them around," while AOL's Spinner UK adds "the fresh-faced trio's energetic indie pop adds flashes of African-styled guitar to the template, alongside jangly touch stones such as Death Cab For Cutie and Broken Social Scene." Stateside the band can be heard on the Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Remix Collection, where they covered US label-mate PHOENIX's song "Lasso." "Two Door Cinema Club is one of the most exciting young bands in the world," says Glassnote President Daniel Glass. "We cannot wait for their tour and record in 2010."

Rihanna spent three hours with the leukemia patient giving her a princess makeover and manicure bedside. After learning of Jasmina's battle with NK-cell leukemia in February, Rihanna pleaded with the public to register with DKMS Americas the world's largest bone marrow donor center. Her appeal drew thousands of new donors and resulted in a match for the six-year-old who visited her hero for the first time post-transplant yesterday. Sadly, many children are not as fortunate as Jasmina. Thousands are still waiting for their life-saving donor match (only 3 out of 10 patients will receive a transplant that could save their lives.) Rihanna continues to urge people to sign the registry and give other children, like Jasmina a second chance at life.
