6/10Slowly but surely over the years, the perception of Gary Numan has shifted from faded pop relic to godfather of all electronic music – thatBattles guest spot on ‘My Machines’ this year being something of a peak. The stage is now set for him to deliver a latter-day masterpiece that will spread his appeal beyond his hyper-devoted fanbase and into a new generation, but this – a collection of offcuts revamped in the industrial style that has characterised his recent work – isn’t it. The likes of ‘Big Noise Transmission’ and ‘The Fall’ are serviceable, but it’s the new album, due next year – ‘Splinter’ – that will more likely complete his resurrection.
Eminem has spoken out about how the prescription drug Ambien caused him lose huge chunks of his memory.
The rapper also says that the sedative contributed to a four year long stretch of writer’s block. Eminem says that the pills were ‘wiping out brain cells’. He added:
…a lot of my memory is gone. I don't know if you've ever taken Ambien, but it's kind of a memory-eraser. That shit wiped out five years of my life. People will tell me stories, and it's like, "I did that?" I saw myself doing this thing on [television network] BET recently, and I was like, "When was that?"
In the interview with Rolling Stone, Eminem said that he kept some of his writing from that period and that: “It fucking creeps me out. Letters all down the page – it was like my hand weighed 400 pounds. I have all that shit in a box in my closet. As a reminder that I don't ever want to go back.”
During the peak of his drug addiction, he revealed that he was taking up to 60 Valiumand 30 Vicodin pills a day. In 2007, he overdosed on methadone. “The doctors told me I'd done the equivalent of four bags of heroin,” says Eminem. “They said I was about two hours from dying.”
The ‘Recovery’ artist revealed that Elton John was one of the people who helped him to overcome his addictions. “He usually calls me once a week to check on me, just to make sure I'm on the up-and-up,” says Eminem. “He was actually one of the first people I called when I wanted to get clean.”

Fact: It took a while for Chris Martin to pluck up the courage to ask Rihanna to guest on the track: "I was very Hugh Grant-like and spluttering about it."
First 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall', then 'Paradise', and now this... it's obvious that Coldplay's fifth album 'Mylo Xyloto' is to be their most pop to date. It might also be their last, if Chris Martin is to be believed (but then he always says that).
In that same interview, Martin talks about being in competition with the likes of Adele and Justin Bieber. It's a mark of his blazing ambition. Whereas, say, Radiohead retreated from the mainstream after 'OK Computer', Coldplay seem hell-bent on becoming even bigger than they already are. 'Paradise', and now 'Princess Of China', are nothing if not single-minded in their naked quest for full-spectrum mainstream dominance.
That sits uneasily with indie snobs. Coldplay have now unquestionably ascended to that position formerly held by U2: they are the band people can't resist slagging off, as is made abundantly clear every time we post a news story on the band, and the vicious comments roll in.
But anyway. The important question is: is 'Princess Of China' actually any good? Well, if you can get beyond the outrageously chart-hungry intro - that glossy synth sound wouldn't sound out of place on a Taio Cruz album - it's actually kind of awesome. For all the poppy surface sheen, this is a song with surprisingly hefty balls, possessed of a pounding momentum that recalls 'Viva La Vida'.
Obviously it's rather over-stuffed with "Oh-oh-oh" bits and "La la la" bits - you do sometimes wish Chris would resist the wordless cop-out and write some actual lyrics for a change - but it's got a chorus that soars, and a production job the size of an ocean liner. As for Rihanna's vocal? It's strange, far more airy and lightweight than we're used to, but that's no bad thing.
Where normally Rihanna sings with a robotic, stiletto-on-your-throat quality, here she sounds uncharacteristically girlish and human - almost Lily Allen-like in terms of tone. Coldplay have brought out a new side to her. In return, she has helped Coldplay produce the most pure pop moment of their career. Consequently, 'Princess Of China' is a pretty smart case study in how a giant rock band and a blockbuster pop star can join forces without totally embarrassing each other. 8/10
