Some interesting new photos that look like Lady Gaga have been floating around the net since yesterday. The strange photos were posted by her stylist, Nicola Formichetti, and are to appear in the September issue of Vogue Hommes Japan. I wondered what all the commotion was about, so I had a look at the photos [...]

This is probably the coolest thing you’ll see today. So, apparently Lenny Kravitz claims to have been hanging in New Orleans, “just sitting up on the terrace having a drink” when he “heard some strange music.”  The Voice of Praise Choir from First Baptist Church in Lewisville just happened to be belting out his hit [...]

So, being in NYC last week, I made the rounds on some of the late night TV programs. Here’s some of the fresh music I stumbled upon. First up was The Late Show with David Letterman. As you might know, Dave has one of the best accompanying bands in TV, period, in Paul Shaffer and [...]

Lady Gaga performed a brand new song at Elton John’s annual White Tie and Tiara Ball last night. The song, entitled, “You and I,” is a welcome departure from what we’re used to hearing from the pop star. It’s a “rock and roll tune,” says Gaga, “which means it will most likely never get used [...]

So, I figured for this edition of Music Video Monday, I’d punch in the words  “worst music video ever” into YouTube and see what I came up with. The results were amazing. I present to you, in no particular order, some of the worst music videos of all time. Prepare to laugh your ass off. [...]

The BET Awards, 2010 edition, went on last night from Los Angeles, California. The show had a number of highlights: some were good, some were bad, and some were ugly. The major highlight, for me at least, had to be the undisputed return of Kanye West.  The ever-controversial musician has been hiding in some sort [...]

I thought dudes this age were supposed to be worried about breaking their hip, not busting a hip-hop dance routine. I love the fact that he absolutely owns the two whippersnappers that try and share some of his spotlight. They sure look like idiots. 1

So, I’m back from New York. Sorry for the lack of posts in the last week, but it was tough to get to my laptop in such a happening city. I’m gonna post a round up of some of the music stuff I saw in the city shortly. In the meantime,  here’s a classic clip [...]

I’m in New York this week, so I haven’t exactly been keeping to my regular blog routine. Sorry. As a result, Music Video Monday is happening on a Tuesday this week. You’ll have to get over that. The good news is that we’ve got some classics this week from contemporary blues-rock kings, The Black Keys. [...]

Robyn Body Talk Pt. 1 (4/5) Robyn has been out of the music scene for 4 years, which, judging by her newest release, was WAY too long. The album, Body Talk Pt. I, is, in short, an electro-pop gem packed with enough would be hits to make Lady Gaga nervous. The album’s lead single, “Dancing [...]

When I started contributing to this blog, I made a pledge to myself that I would NEVER post a dancing baby. Why, you ask? It’s just so damn typical, that’s why. I’m breaking that promise right now. This kid is too skilled to ignore. 1

HAHAHA. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino of Jersey Shore fame has released a rap track. I should have expected that one of the Jersey Shore cast would pull a stunt like this. Here’s some advice for The Situation: stick to your day job! Wait… does he have a day job? 0

Interesting news today coming out of Maryland. I’ve seen several notable  sites poppin up lately that remark on people’s tendency to confuse Justin Bieber with girls. See here for a completely offensive example. But this gossip tidbit takes the cake. TMZ reports that the police were called to the “Mug and Mallet” bar in Ocean [...]

The much-hyped video for Katy Perry’s “California Gurls,” featuring Snoop Dogg, has debuted, and if you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’re in the right place. The video depicts Perry frolicking through a utopian candy land board-game-come-to-life setting, under the watchful eye of the candy land overlord, Snoop Dogg. The storyline goes something like this: Katy [...]

You probably only know her as Jenny Humphrey off of the TV show “Gossip Girl,” but, by night, 16 year old Taylor Momsen holds down lead singer duties for the rock group The Pretty Reckless. Their sound is full of heavy, snarling, distortion underneath Taylor’s powerful pipes. Though It might not be breaking any Rock [...]

Got a better caption? Lemme know in the comments. 2

This week’s Music Video Monday has a theme. As an ode to good old fashioned film, I decided to put together a list of my favourite ever black and white music videos (or at least the ones I can remember). The black and white visual format is still one of the simplest but most effective [...]

Let me just tell you, I am a Rock Band legend.  That’s why this post makes me VERY happy. Check out the video below, courtesy of USA Today, for a quick preview of what to expect from Rock Band 3, arriving this holiday season. One word: KEYBOARD! Also, head to the official Rock Band webpage [...]

One. More. Day. The 2010 FIFA World Cup opens tomorrow in South Africa. Needless to say, I’m unbelievable pumped, and I’m not the only one. As the most watched sporting event in the world, it’s sure to capture the attention of the entire globe. Part of the festivities include FIFA’s pick for the official theme [...]

I have a special admiration for these kinda bands. It’s a tough job being a not-so-talented, over the hill, professional musician doing what you can to make a buck.  Anybody that’s seen The Wedding Singer can attest to that. This group, complete with ugly mustard colour glitter jackets and bad haircuts, looks just like your [...]
