"Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield

Call it Bedingfield 2.5. Pocketful of Sunshine is the second U.S. release by the Londoner whose career is part Fergie, part Amy Grant, but nearly half the songs appeared on her sophomore English release, N.B. "I Wanna Have Your Babies," the gloriously bubbly and weird single from that record, is among the missing, but some lovely pop tunes have been substituted. Bedingfield has had an unfortunate tendency toward syrupy ballads in the past, but even the slower numbers here compare favorably with most examples of the genre. "Soulmate," for instance, may start off with guitar-picking that signifies clichéd contemplation, but Bedingfield's ability to modulate her belting and still convey emotion serves the "I want a really good boyfriend" message well. The lead single, "Love Like This," pairs her with R&B charmer Sean Kingston, a vocalist with a similarly large and varied bag of musical tricks, to create a warm summery spray of melody. Mostly,

Avril Lavigne Faces Lawsuit, Spice Girls Affirm Their Popularity, Yeah Yeah Yeahs Announce Shows

Avril Lavigne is being sued by ’70s band The Rubinoos over allegations that her hit single “Girlfriend” bears too close of a resemblance to their 1979 track “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend.” More than one million “Wannabe” fanatics have signed up for the Spice Girls reunion tour ticket lottery just a week after the group announced their reformation. Disney Channel creation Hannah Montana (a.k.a. Billy Ray Cyrus’ daughter Miley) has outsold Kelly Clarkson by 35,000 copies in the first week of their respective sales. Pink says she’d like to write with Amy Winehouse (who characteristically cancelled a gig in England last night after being hospitalized for unknown reasons), but isn’t too keen on the idea of working with Britney Spears. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have announced a handful of shows in support of their upcoming Is Is EP. Tour dates after the jump. 8/1 - Lawrence, KS, The Granada Theatre 8/2 - Columbia, MO, The Blue Note 8/4 - Chicago, IL, Grant Park (Lollapalooza) 8/5 - Baltimore, MD, Pimlico Race Course (Virgin Festival) 8/7 - New York, NY, Webster Hall 8/15 - Philadelphia, PA, Electric Factory 8/18 - Mansfield, MA, Tweeter Center

Pearl Jam, Amy Winehouse, Ben Harper: Behind the Scenes at Lollapalooza With the Smoking Section

The Smoking Section has to give it up for Eddie Vedder, who swept through Chicago and made our Lollapalooza worth living. We arrived on Thursday, and instead of selling our Pearl Jam ticket to one of the desperate fans outside of the Vic Theater (one offer: $5,000 in cash), we caught a bizarrely original gig by the band — no big hits. The gig started with Eddie and his acoustic guitar and a dope song about the Chicago Cubs. “Someday we’ll go all the way!” he screamed, and so did the crowd. The next afternoon, about a half-hour before the start of the Mets v. Cubs game at Wrigley, Eddie threw about fifteen solid pitches in the Cubbies bullpen, before delivering a fastball strike for the game’s first pitch. Lollapalooza was insanely hot. In the middle of Grant Park, where Lolla went down for the third straight year, is the massive fountain in the opening credits of “Married… With Children” — but you can’t jump in. And there was a bit of a weird vibe along with the sweat. Though Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney told us that Lolla “is one of the few festivals where you can hop in a cab and be on your way to a neighborhood bar”, there was very little communal spirit. It was no Bonnaroo, where people are forced to suffer the trials and tribulations of living in the shit with one another for three days straight. Corporate sponsorship was everywhere, with scary old people dotting the air-conditioned tents (fetching up to $75,000 a piece) that perched about a hundred yards away from the two main stages (which are a twenty minute walk away from each other). Still, there was a lot to love. On Friday, while Pete and Ashlee Wentz (née Simpson) held hands in the backstage bar, we caught dope sets from Blonde Redhead, LCD Soundsystem and afrobeat heir Femi Kuti and his sick band, Positive Force. The Daft Punk set was killer, but more fans were drawn to Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals show on the oth
