Caught between the deep economic crises in both Athens, Greece and New York City; singer-songwriter OH. released her indie debut album, "Sleeping World" and in particular the song "Trials". The album's hauntingly candid lyrics and music are a conscious and direct wake-up call to the frustrations of our crisis-laden youth in these trying times of austerity, lack of opportunity, wasted talent and false promises. With irony and mocking sarcasm her performance reveals her "lost generation's" total awareness of the futility of quick fixes (jobs with no future) and false idols (media's portrayal of success and pop culture) -- cutting to the root cause of our world's self-destructive and power-hungry motivation – which is simply an unconsciousness of true values. OH. is an indie progressive rock singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist who lives in both Athens, Greece and New York City. The album, Sleeping World is available on iTunes, Spotify, Last.fm (free download http://bit.ly/13nNsUx), Amazon MP3 and at http://music.olitunes.com.

Superman Skyrockets to Top of US Box Office

Posted 1 hour ago by BEAT100 in Celebrity News

Unlike

Superman movie Man of Steel has boomed to the top of the North American box office rankings, raking up $113m (£71.9m) in its opening weekend, early estimates have suggested.

The film stars British actor Henry Cavill as the superhero alongside Amy Adams as news reporter, Lois Lane.

"They finally got the Superman formula right," said box office analyst for Hollywood.com, Paul Dergarabedian.

"Superhero movies really are the bread and butter of the summer box office."

Man of Steel scored the biggest opening for June, beating the previous record held by Toy Story 3, which made $110.3 million when it opened in 2010.

The comedy This Is the End debuted in second place.

It stars Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jonah Hill as versions of themselves trapped in a mansion during the apocalypse.

BEAT100 News - Beyonce Settles $100 Million With Gaming Company

Beyonce Settles $100 Million With Gaming Company

Posted 4 days ago by BEAT100 in Celebrity News

Beyonce has settled a $100 million lawsuit with a dance-game developer.

The 31-year-old singer was sued by Manhattan-based Gate Five in 2010.

Executives from the company claimed they had signed a multi-million dollar deal with the star to work on an interactive game called Starpower: Beyonce, according to the New York Daily News.

The newspaper reports players would imitate Beyonce and "get praise on their moves, or advice on how to improve, from the singer in her voice".

According to the suit, Beyonce pulled out of her contract in December, 2010. The claim alleged she put 70 people out of work during the holiday season by doing so and cost Gate Five millions in lost research and development.

Lawyers for the company also claimed she made "extortionate" demands at the last minute.

Beyonce's lawyers reportedly argued she backed out after the company lost its financial backers and after new investors decided her 40 per cent share was too high.
