Since the now infamous Taylor Swift incident, Kanye West has been laying pretty low. Up until a couple of months ago, he’d been almost completely silent for 9 months, taking some time to lick his wounds from the fallout. But now, he’s back in a big way, which for those of us who enjoy Kanye [...]

In Glendale, a deadly swarm of Killer Biebs descended on Segway pilot Justin Bieber. Unable to escape, he’s surrounded and swarmed, in a scene eerily reminiscent of McCauley Culkin’s untimely demise in My Girl. 0

A few months back, American DJ/Producer Kaskade teamed up with Martina of Dragonette to create the dance gem “Fire In Your New Shoes.” This morning, I stumbled onto the video that was released to accompany the track.

Last week, I posted Robyn’s newest single, “Hang With Me,” from her upcoming Body Talk Pt 2 album, and she’s now released a video for the track. The clip takes more of a D.I.Y. approach to video shooting, and chronicles the road life of the platinum blonde pop star. Directed by Max Vitali, the video [...]

The internet is absolutely abuzz today with the premiere of Katy Perry’s brand new single, “Teenage Dream.” Naturally, it’s a massive pop anthem. Though it’s not quite as danceable as “California Gurls,” if it doesn’t hit #1 on the Hot 100, I’ll be absolutely shocked. With a little bit more rock flair, Katy’s verses build [...]

Since he was released from prison early this year, T.I. has released two singles. First came the aptly titled “I’m Back,” followed by the release of his upcoming album’s first single, “Got Your Back” featuring Keri Hilson. I’m sure it’ll be hitting the airwaves soon. Here’s the video he just released for the track. 0

As a born and bred Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada kid, I hold a deep and passionate bias towards anything that has to do with my dear Van-City. Because of this, you might think that the reason I am posting songs by Dan Mangan is due to the fact that he, too, hails from the city [...]

Nicki Minaj, the hottest female commodity in hip-hop since Lil’ Kim, has released a video for her new single, “Your Love.” Directed by distinguished rap video director Lil X, the video sees Nicki starring as a sultry samurai. In it, Nicki battles for the affection of her sensei — archetypal action star Michael Jai White [...]

If you aren’t aware, Christina’s latest album, Bionic, has been a pretty big sales disappointment to date. Yet leading up to yesterday, the video for her “You Lost Me” single was getting some pretty good hype. The video popped up online yesterday, and frankly, I’m not sure this is the saving grace she needed. It’s [...]

Since we saw Avatar destroy box office records last year, 3D movies have virtually taken over. Genres from action to animation have been presented in the popular 3D style — some did it well, others not so much. Well it’s time to add another genre to the list of 3D benefactors: Dance! Step Up 3D [...]

If you tell me that you’ve never heard Bruno Mars before, you’re very likey wrong. Bruno’s already been featured on two certified summer smash hits, B.o.B.’s “Nothin’ On You” and Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire.” His producing and songwriting chops aren’t too shabby either — Bruno’s got co-writing credits for helping pen K’Naan’s worldwide smash “Wavin’ Flag” [...]

So, last month I gave you my review of Robyn’s album, Body Talk Pt. 1. It’s truly is an excellent pop album. If you didn’t take my wonderful advice then, do it now and pick it up already. As Robyn promised, she plans to release 2 more albums this year alone. The second of the [...]

Taio Cruz released a video for his hit, “Dynamite,” today. Let’s watch it together, shall we? Oh look, a bunch of models hanging out in a junkyard. Grinding stuff. With skimpy outfits on. Riiiiight. I bet I can guess who the mysterious guy on the bike is. All of the models seem to really love [...]

I missed this one last week, but it deserves some attention.

Who says today’s pop music is all the same? Oh wait, I do! And so does the guy who made the video below. The clip below cuts between Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” and Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” to demonstrate to you that they are literally THE SAME SONG, both cut from the same cookie cutter formula [...]

So, this might be a bit of a reach for this blog, but a new trailer for The Social Network, the movie based on Facebook, was released to the web today. You’re probably wondering how this possibly relates to Music News. Well, if I must tell you, it’s the awesome use of a cover of [...]
