Simon Cowell has plenty of pull to get lots of big names on his single, a cover of REM's Everybody Hurts, to raise money for Haiti. Half the proceeds will go to Helping Haiti, a fund set up by The Sun, and the other 50 percent will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee. Some of the big names he already has lined up are Robbie Williams, Mariah Carey, Kylie Minogue, Jay-Z, Susan Boyle, Rod Stewart, Alexandra Burke, Leona Lewis, Cheryl Cole, James Blunt, Miley Cyrus, Michael Buble and Mika. Damn! That's a lot of star power. The song is currently being recorded in L.A. Robbie Williams states, “I'm very honoured to be asked to contribute to the single. We can all do something to help the people of Haiti - and I urge everyone to do what they can.” Agreed. The Hope for Haiti concert brought in almost $58 million last weekend. Sounds like a lot of help is on the way. [source]

NEW ARTIST ALERT: DAN BLACK
Every week, iTunes has a free track to download and a couple of weeks ago it was an artist called Dan Black. Before downloading the song, Symphonies, I read some of the reviews and I was intrigued. People either loved it or hated it. One reason was because the song samples the beat from Umbrella by Rihanna. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT??? People sample ENTIRE songs all the time. It made me want it, so I downloaded it. Fast forward a week and I got the entire album because I'm obsessed with the song. A cross between Mika, Owl City and some indie band, Dan Black has a nice voice, the songs are very cool and this video for Symphonies is soops amazy. No joke, watch it and see. Don't be a douche. Just watch it! You can sample the songs and get Dan's album HERE if you have iTunes installed. It's only 7.99 right now.
