Crowded House formed in Melbourne in 1985 and first tasted global success with their massive 1987 hit 'Don't Dream It's Over'. They continued to have hits for a decade before the band split in 1996 following a farewell concert outside Sydney Opera House in front of 120,000 fans. Time On Earth is the re-united Crowded House's fifth studio album and their first since 1993's Together Alone.

Lady Gaga: "David Bowie is my influence" MusicFIX Blog by Sam Nov 6 2009 9:28AM

Now we know who to blame for Lady GaGa: the pop tart told MTV host Alexa Chung that David Bowie is a major influence on her, um, unusual image.

"I used to sit in my apartment for hours and do his make-up on myself over and over again," GaGa revealed.

This revelation shouldn't surprise anyone who's familiar with Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" years, when he gallivanted around in strange costumes and bizarre hairstyles saying weird and unusual things — much like Lady GaGa.

Let's have a look at some of the myriad ways Ziggy has inspired GaGa:

READ COMMENTS 0 COMMENTS Confirmed: Take That reunion MusicFIX Blog by Sam Nov 5 2009 2:37PM

Robbie Williams has confirmed that Take That will be the next '90s pop supergroup to stage a reunion.

He appeared on British chat show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and revealed that he and the other members of Take That — Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen — have been in the studio recording "bits and bobs", and that all five of them might appear onstage together soon.

Of course, Take That have technically already reunited — though their previous reunion tour was sans Robbie, the only member of the band anyone really cares about nowadays.

Speaking of Robbie: he hasn't performed in Australia for three years, but he's heading to Australia to perform at the ARIA Awards and Sydney's Metro theatre to promote his new album Reality Killed The Video Star, available from November 6.

It's rare that a day goes by and I don't wish that I'm back in New York City (it really is the greatest city in the world). So I simultaneously love and hate Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' new track 'Empire State of Mind'.

I love it because it's a reminder what a glamorous, incredible, super-cool place New York is. (That, and it's a catchy song.) I hate it because it makes me want to go there right now. (Would anyone like to volunteer to pay for my plane ticket? Anyone?)

Apparently the song is getting play all over New York right now — no surprise. Check out the all-new clip and pretend you're there:

READ COMMENTS 3 COMMENTS Rihanna to give tell-all interview about Chris Brown MusicFIX Blog by MusicFIX Nov 3 2009 12:17PM

Rihanna is finally speaking out about her assault earlier this year by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

While Chris has issued several apologies and given numerous remorseful interviews about the incident, Rihanna has never made a public comment about the violent attack.

America's ABC has announced that as well as performing on Good Morning America this Thursday, Rihanna will also sit down to tell her side of the story.

The tell-all interview will premiere on Good Morning America, with an extended special airing the following night.

No word yet on whether the interview will make it to Australian screens, but no doubt it will be all over the internet the moment it airs.
