Former synth-pop singer takes aim at Trump's hairstyle

Donald Trump’s hairdo has provoked a sensational and scathing attack from Mike Score, frontman of 80s techno / dance band, A Flock of Seagulls. 


‘Trump is nothing but a plagiarist,” declared the visibly rattled former chart star. 'Compared to my 80s hairstyle Trump's is nothing more than a bog-standard short back and sides.


‘What's more, I refuse to be even remotely associated, no matter how tenuously, with anybody stating openly they're a fan of Ted Nugent,' fumed the once famous synth-pop songster.


Meanwhile, as the battle lines are being drawn with talk of a future $250,000,000,000 lawsuit,  A Flock of Seagulls greatest hits compilation is released next Friday.

Peter Jackson's Cheeky Girls documentary gets green light.


Oscar winning director, Peter Jackson, currently enjoying huge success with his Beatle's documentary "Get Back" has announced he is already working on his next project, bringing to the fore the artistic genius of the Cheeky Girls, according to an industry insider.


Jackson has meticulously restored over 500 hours of footage filmed during the recording of the Cheeky Girls' difficult second album, 2007's "In My Mind - Is A Different World... (A Cheeky One)" and sheds new light on the relationship between Monica and Gabriela before their tumultuous break up in the late-2000s.


The seventeen hour documentary, "Touch my bum" contains clips from their writing sessions, including hilarious outtakes in which they try to find a rhyme for "touch my bum", their recording sessions where the artistic tension can be cut with a knife, to their stormy relationships, the time when one of them went out with that Armpit Ono bloke, which many fans say signalled the beginning of the end of their collaboration.


A spokesman for Mr Jackson told us, 'Quite frankly, we're getting a little worried about Peter. We think he may have been working too hard recently. He really needs a rest.'

Swiftify launches featuring only Taylor Swift songs



New music streaming app Swiftify has launched, dedicated entirely to the music of Taylor Swift. Users can listen to songs from a vast library of albums - albeit most of them feature the same songs just with different cover art - and explore music from the many genres which Taylor has toyed with over her multi decade career.


Swiftify Chief Exec Bradley Brady said, '90% of all music streams are of the top 1% of artistes, and 50% are of Taylor, probably. So we figured just cut out the rest. Like we say in showbiz, be nice to the little people on your way up - then dump 'em.'


The app also features an AI tool to generate abusive social media messages for 'Swifties' to send to 'haters'. At press time, it had already suffered its first crash, when someone registered under the username Big Machine Records.


Meanwhile, plans to launch another app dedicated entirely to the music of Harry Styles have been put on hold following an appeal under the Geneva Convention.
