Ill Nino Week: Day 3 |
"2012" is a song about astrology and astrological descent. The title might hint at the Maya prophecy which predicts the end of the world as we know it but, it really is a song about our origin and our relation to the stars.

RIP NME? |
But there were glum faces and dark mutterings among the assembled media insiders. One key reason for this gloom was the magazine's circulation figures for the second half of 2007. Averaging around 64,000 per issue, they are the lowest ever, and a steep decline on previous years.

Some industry commentators are even speculating that the print version could close within months. "Who reads the NME then?" Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs singer asked pointedly.

Avril Comicbook |
Titled "Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend: Sleight of Hand and Heart," the comic tells the story of the sweet boy Dylan, his superficial girlfriend Layla and the misfit Marta who knows there's a secret darkside to Layla.
Lavigne's MySpace page says the tale is inspired by last summer's hit single, "Girlfriend," in which the boppy refrain declares, "Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend/ No way, no way, I think you need a new one." [Wow! Avril is such a lyrical genius!]
