Paramore's Hayley Williams: "I thought Taylor York would leave the band too"

Brothers Josh and Zac Farro who left the band in December 2010 have immediately formed new band called Novel American. Therefore, three members stayed in Paramore - Hayley, Taylor and bassist Jeremy Davis.

Hayley, who were strongly criticized by Josh Farro thought that Taylor will also leave the band. She was very surprised when he decided to stay in Paramore (Taylor played with Farro brothers before Paramore was formed).

Hayley told Alternative Press: "We weren't as close with Taylor as with Jeremy. I was worried that Taylor will leave us, too. One time when we went out together he told me that he's not leaving the band. Then I went to car and cried and I told to myself that everything will be fine again."

Paramore are currently working on their fourth studio album, which should be out in early 2012. They also recently released three singles (Singles Club) - "Renegade", "Hello Cold World" and "In the Mourning".

Sinead O'Connor ended marriage after 16 days

Irish singer Sinead O'Connor has ended her fourth marriage after just 16 days. Yes, her marriage lasted only 16 days! How ridiculous is this?

I mean, I really like her. I like her music and I also like that she has always been doing her own thing even though many people hate her for that. She has always criticized organized religion, war, women's rights and child abuse.

However, O'Connor may have crossed the line several times with her strong opinions. For example, she basically ended her famous career after she ripped picture of pope John Paul II during her live performance at Saturday Night Live in 1992. I really understand why many people started hating her, but I also understand her and there is no doubt that she is brave for doing that.

Anyway, her 16-day long marriage is in my opinion just very, very weak attempt to become famous again. She even went through divorce one time this year, so this is her second divorce of 2011. I just think it's freaking ridiculous.

Best Albums of 2011: PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

Let England Shake is PJ Harvey's tenth studio record. When this album came out in February this year, people started immediately loving it. This album has a strong anti-war message.

British artist lyrically focuses on England and its current situation on this record. She criticizes british political scene and England's involvement in war conflicts. I don't think that she could stress these issues better in any different way as she did on Let England Shake.

The album is so beautiful (Harvey started playing autoharp on this record) and sad at the same time. The melodies are simply great. There is no wonder that PJ Harvey won several awards for this record. It is probably the best "war album" of all times.

PJ Harvey is an extraordinary artist and she once again proved it on this album.

Best Albums of 2011: Chris Cornell - Songbook

Songbook is Chris Cornell's fourth solo album. However, this one isn't really new one, it's just collection of songs recorded acoustically during his solo acoustic tour which took place from March to May 2011 in US. The album, which was released only last month, contains tracks from Cornell's whole career.

That means, it features the most important songs from Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog and Cornell's solo albums. It also features two covers - Led Zeppelin's "Thank You" and John Lennon's "Imagine.

I think that this album is great collection which captures Cornell's awesome career. He is an extraordinary artist and songwriter and many of his songs sound even better acoustically. I love especially "Call Me a Dog" (yesterday's song of the day). It is just so powerful song. Of course, I like the whole album a lot because all songs sound great.

Song of the day: From Our Hands - "The Noise"

I am going to see this guys live tonight. They're awesome.
