Brit Awards announces nominees

The nominees for 2012's Brit Awards have been announced.

Adele, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Florence and The Machine and PJ Harvey are all up for Mastercard British Album of the Year.

Adele's '21' features iconic single 'Someone Like You' as well as hits such as 'Rolling In The Deep', 'Set Fire To The Rain' and 'Rumour Has It'.

Coldplay's 'Mylo Xyloto' is their fifth album and they are still one of the biggest bands on the planet.  They won this award in 2001 and 2003.

Ed Sheeran's '+' combines acoustic and hip hop with folk and pop.  He got three top tens in 2011.

Florence & The Machine's 'Ceremonials' may allow Flozza to win this award twice in two years - she won it for debut 'Lungs' in 2010.

Who would get your vote?

Hevy 2011

There aren't really any words for this - just watch this incredible footage of Feed the Rhino from this year's Hevy festival and see why it is one of the best events around.

Totally awesome video :o)

Jessi J + guest: Glastonbury 2011

Each year Glastonbury throws up a little gem (well, loads of gems really) and this year was no exception.

Words simply don't do justice to what an amazing moment this was - just watch the video, sit back and grin like a cheshire cat.

Jessie J's face is classic!!!!

...and check out the high 5s as she returns to the audience.

OK - it seems as though the video has been pulled already - Grrrrrr!. If you want to catch it (and we whole-heartedly recommend you do) click HERE and skip to about 28'30"

...well that's exactly what we would like to know.

Glastonbudget obviously rocked (again) this year.... eh Sam?
