CDs are on the way out, I think we’ve all decided that now, and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke can’t wait to see the back of them: "I always hated CDs. Just a fucking nightmare … There’s a process of natural selection going on right now. The music business was waiting to die in its current form about twenty years ago. But then, hallelujah, the CD turned up and kept it going for a bit. But basically, it was dead" |

Robbie Williams reveals his long awaited new album, ‘Reality Killed The Video Star’, due out in November, will feature a very brief tribute to Michael Jackson: "Michael Jackson died, then. It’s all so very sad. [I] couldn’t get a lyric to fit on one of the new songs, [so] when he passed away I rewrote it with him in mind. When I say ‘I’, I mean me and [lyricist] Don Black" |

Graham Coxon is still insisting Blur will play more shows and possibly record: "We’re talking about doing some more shows abroad… I’m not sure how much I can say about that, but we’re definitely talking about it. I think I said [to Damon that recording a new album would] be quite good fun. That’s as far as it’s gone. We didn’t bother really talking about it, we were just having a good time" |

Calvin Harris says lazy mainstream dance producers are stopping people from discovering the good stuff: "I just wish the bigger artists weren’t so lazy. It’s up to them to sustain the scene they created. You’ve got to have these tunes to keep the underground music alive as well. Commercial dance music is a gateway for people to get into dance music they wouldn’t hear on commercial radio" |

Former Ordinary Boy Samuel Preston says he regrets walking off ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ in a huff in 2007: "It was just an uncomfortable situation. I wanted the floor to swallow up and eat me, so I did the next best thing and ran away, which is terrible, because I’m really not the sort of person to walk away from confrontation, I’m normally the sort of person to talk it out" |

Daniel Merriweather likes to look at porn, but it’s okay, ladies; he’s supporting feminism by doing so: "My guilty pleasure is porn, porn is great. People say its misogynistic, but I think people who like porn are in support of feminist movements, like myself. I am all for it, I feel like women’s liberation is part of me, it’s a cause I want to fight, yet I like porn. You can have the cake and eat it too" |
