Future Boy
You cannot argue with the fact that James Bourne is a musical genius. Not only was he a founding member of Busted, who sold millions of albums and sold out arena tours, but he has written songs for some of the biggest musicians around. When Busted split up he went on to form Son Of Dork and he even wrote a musical based on their hit album Welcome To Loserville which is hitting the West End in 2011.
He has new music online available for download in the form of solo project Future Boy, which he is really excited for his fans to hear.
I had a chat with James about EVERYTHING.
Tell us about the name Future Boy.
I’m obsessed with Back To The Future, hence a lot of my inspiration comes from there. Also I wanted to make music that sounded like it was made in the future. And I’m a boy.
A lot of people seemed surprised by the lack of guitar…
I had to do something that sounded different, reinvent my style. I still make guitar music but that isn’t Future Boy. The song I wrote for The Saturdays, Forever Is Over, has a sick guitar riff, that’s me playing on the recording by the way.
Do you do a lot of writing and recording for other people?
Yes, what do you think I do with myself every day? Stay in bed? [laughs] Music is my thing, I’m non-stop in the studio.
Name drop some people you’ve written for.
McFly, The Saturdays, Backstreet Boys, Jonas Brothers, Gabriela Cilmi, Boyzone, Busted, Son Of Dork, Better Than Ezra, Ripchord, MC Lars, Pat Monohan (the singer from Train), Allstar Weekend, Miranda Cosgrove, Mitchel Musso, the list goes on! I’ve also had loads of songs cut in pop idol in different countries, but I couldn’t name them all. I don’t really keep track of those ones. I have a few songs on hold at the moment waiting to come out with some seriously big artists, but I don’t wanna say in case any of them fall through.
That is an impressive list! Where do you get all that inspiration from?
I just get ideas and put them down.
Your new music is online to download – do you think musicians need a big record label to survive these days?
No way. I loved being on a big label in Busted, Universal Island were an incredible team. That was a good experience, but normally bands will tell you that major label experiences suck. I hated being on a label with Son Of Dork, they didn’t share my vision and only signed the band ‘cause I was in Busted. I still believe in Son Of Dork, and it’s music is very much alive in my new musical which opens in the West End, 2011.
We saw the musical, it was great! How did that idea come about?
The songs didn’t realise their full potential with Son Of Dork. I always believed those songs were bigger than what the band became.
Do you still speak to the other Son Of Dork boys?
I see some of them around. I’m so busy with other stuff. We kind of drifted.
Still friends though? No hard feelings?
No hard feelings on my part.
Do you think Dave Williams brought down Son Of Dork? Some of the fans blame him.
If I ever made another Son Of Dork record I’d only bring the band members who wanted to do it, otherwise I’d find new players. I own that band and in the contract I can fire any member at any time. But it’s really unlikely I’d do another SOD album. I’d rather work with Matt Willis again.
Speaking of Matt… Is there any truth, or has there ever been any truth, in any of the Busted reunion rumours?
It’s BS!
Would you ever want to reunite the band?
Matt actually asked Charlie if he would mind us using the name Busted without him.
Did he agree?
He said no. We invited him back, knowing he wouldn’t be into it. He doesn’t want to come back, but he doesn’t want me and Matt to do it without him either.
Do you think he’s happier now?
Haven’t talked to him since the press conference, so I have no idea.
Back to your new music! Why did you decide to release it in two parts?
I think it’s easier for people to digest five songs at a time, instead of ten.
Do you think piracy will affect you? Most musicians rely on album sales.
Future Boy can’t really fail, I didn’t have any cost of hiring session musicians, I played it all myself. It was a cheap record to make, so I will recoup and move forward quickly. It can’t split up, ‘cause it’s just me.
Will you be playing any UK gigs?
Soon enough.
A lot of your fans thought of you when Michael Jackson died, it must have hit you hard.
When I got the Michael news I was in Vegas, and I was shocked. Then I cried like a three year old for about 30 minutes. I’m still sad about it now.
I have a few questions for you from Twitter. The first is from Matt Willis. Who came up with the name Future Boy?
He is crazy if he doesn’t know the answer to that, I think he is joking around. I already answered that one, see question one.
What would your dream band line-up be?
James Taylor, Bruce Hornsby, Peter Cetera, Michael Jackson.
What is your favourite song on the new album?
Space Travellers.
Is there a song you wish that had written?
I wish I wrote Man In The Mirror, that is my favourite song of all time, nothing matches it in my book.
Are you worried about 2012?
No. I do like that theory and I believe in a lot of that stuff. I just don’t think the world will end then. I do believe the story about the alien race that built the pyramids and that’s where the inspiration for Space Travellers came from.
Do you have any words of wisdom to end the interview on?
Do things the way you wanna do them and be motivated only by the dreams in your heart, nothing else.

3am: Trust McFly to get their bums out when we weren’t looking
Igår var det soccer six och Danny och Harry hade tillsammans ett lag tillsammans. Soccer six gick inte på tv så vi som inte kunde ta oss dit får nöja oss med artiklar och bilder från dagen.
Först ut av artiklarna är denna från hemsidan 3am:

Trust McFly to get their bums out when we weren’t looking
If we’d have seen this at the time, we would have run on the pitch and given it a firm but pleasurable slap. We can’t resist a bare arse, especially when it belongs to McFly.
We spoke to the highly-shaggable Harry and less-shaggable-but-we-probably-still-would Danny at the celebrity Soccer Six tournament for Samaritans yesterday, mostly about getting naked.
They weren’t allowed to tell us about the new McFly album, which is out in the summer, so we just talked about bums and willies. And why they always get theirs out (funnily enough, we spoke to them before this picture was taken).
Harry said: “We just find it amusing. We’ve done naked shoots and we’re always taking our clothes off anyway.
“It’s funny when fans Photoshop our heads onto naked pictures of men as well.”
Danny added: “We always get naked at house parties.”
“I’ll get naked right now,” Harry continued, sadly not while shaking off his shorts and throwing us to the ground.
And having performed at the same show as Miley ‘please stare at my boobs’ Cyrus at the weekend, we were interested to discover what they thought of Miley’s ‘please stare at my boobs’ outfit.
“How old is she? 17! Shit. Um, quite revealing, yes,” Harry spluttered, before realising he probably shouldn’t have said anything at all.

That sounds good to me!
Flecking records publicrade den här artkeln för några dagar sen om eurovision song contest.
"McFly guitarist Tom Fletcher clearly isn’t a fan of the UK’s Eurovision entrant.
Tonight saw the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo, and Germany won with Satellite performed by Lena Mayer-Landrut.
The UK’s entry, That Sounds Good to Me, was performed by 19-year-old Essex boy Josh Dubovie who came last with only 10 points.
Tom took to Twitter to say this of the song: “All I can say is as much as I LOVE England, we got exactly what we deserved in eurovision with that shocking song.(sic)”
Bandmate Dougie Poynter tweeted Tom shortly after saying: “the song sounded worse than throwing 10 elephants off empire state building(sic)”.
Fellow Essex boy James Bourne tweeted his thoughts on Eurovision too, saying: “I think pete waterman should be forced to enter next year as a britney spears tribute act as punishment for this years awful result!"

Shine on Media: McFly rock in Rio
Shine on Media har publicerat en liten notis där de har lagt upp bilder och videos från konserten i lördags. Av förklarig anledning har vi har valt att ta bort delarna som handlar om Miley Cyrus...
McFly headed to Lisbon to perform at Rock In Rio Day 4 on Saturday.
The show was McFly’s first performance of 2010. Tom wrote on his blog: The gig last night was great fun. Wasn’t the tightest we’ve ever played but for the first show of 2010 that’s to be expected since we were excited! Apparently it was over 90’000 people but don’t quote me on that!

The Sun: McFlies undone
The sun har nu publicerat denna artikel som handlar om de lättklädda bilderna på McFly som cirkulerar runt på olika hemsidor... ;)
INTIMATE photos of rockers McFLY are being viewed on gay websites.
The band's management have been forced to intervene after candid snaps began appearing on message boards.
One such site - FM Forums - has even told users to refrain from posting or viewing the images.
The shots, while not explicit, show the quartet in states of undress and management are investigating how they got into the public domain.
A source said: "The lads aren't hugely worried about it themselves, but management are keen to get to the bottom of the issue."
Seems they're not the only ones.

McFLY Rock in Rio Lisaboa 2010!!
Igår hade McFLY konsert i Portugal och man kunde se konserten live på datorn!! Vi ber så hemskt mycket om ursäkt för att vi inte skrev om det här men förhoppningsvis så fick alla som var inne på datorn reda på det via Toms Twitter.. Grejen var den att ingen hade meddelat om att man kunde se den live bara att man kunde höra den via internett radio. De som skulle få se den live var , som vi tidigare skrev, de som hade TVkanalen SIC kids. Men ca 40 min innan konserten skulle börja skrev Tom på Twitter att man kunde se dem spela live över internett. tyvärr satt inte vi framför datorn då utan var ute och roade oss på annat håll så vi missade det, men vi behöver inte vara ledsna för det! Om du, precis som oss, missade konserten så kan du se den igen! daphnedescends1 har varit snäll och postat hela konserten på Youtube! Här är part 1 resten tror jag att ni hittar själva ;)
ENJOY!
publiken är gigantisk!!!
