2. Elton John has been released from hospital.
3. Online music store BlueBeat has removed The Beatles' back catalogue from their website after EMI won a court injunction against the them. BlueBeat that is, not the Fabs.

Daily Office Highlight:
The arrival of a CD entitled Sounds from The Circle: MP3 Collection of New Age Music Circle Artists 2009. Six hours of zen apparently. Just such a shame we missed the 2008 edition.
Runner-ups: Five miniature cars and birdwatching.
Daily What You Can Look Forward To Next Week:
An exclusive label-bashing Joss Stone interview.
Dictionary-defying Tabloid Headline Of The Day:
"Lay Hoff the booze"
"Shak it up with Jedward"
Oasis-Watch:
Times are tough for the Oasis-watch team. Tired of running after Liam in the early mornings hunting for a quote better than "I am the salmon king", its members soon face redundancy unless something drastic happens.
On The Office Stereo:
Jay-Z and his 12-disc compilation
Miike Snow
Oh, and follow us on Twitter for all the latest music updates and much more.
