When Uffie originally hit the scene back in 2006, she became an internet darling. Music blogs were abuzz with her sizzling debut hit, “Pop The Glock.” And it seemed like only a matter of time before Uffie was seeing massive radio play. Alas, here we are in 2010 with Uffie just recently releasing her debut [...]

Mark Ronson has debuted another single off of his upcoming album Record Collection. The last track, “Bang Bang Bang,” was awesome and got me stoked for the album. The next one, entitled “Bike Song,” is another quality track. It might not be quite as catchy as the last, but still keeps me more than interested. [...]

Kanye’s been making quite a bit of noise lately, and last week he continued that trend. West and friends–one of which was the multi-talented John Legend–performed some tracks for a private show in NYC. The set list included songs from his upcoming yet to be titled album, dropping November 16th. A highlight was his brand [...]

Ugly pets: they’re still just as lovable. Yeasayer definitely understands. Their clip for “Madder Red” features actress Kristen Bell (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) trying to hold herself together through her pet’s final days. Not only does she struggle to tend to her sick pet and give it what it needs, but also hold herself together emotionally [...]

The music video for Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” has finally arrived. Premiering earlier today, the long awaited clip for the pop star’s second heat seeking single isn’t a let down. Directed by Yoann Lemoine and shot in Santa Barbara, the video screams West Coast. And even though the name might not suggest it, I’d argue [...]

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’ve paid any attention whatsoever to the World Cup, you know that the Vuvuzela horn epidemic is making many people absolutely bonkers from the annoyance. It looks like some clever would-be programmers have come up with a game concept, similar to Guitar Hero, that harnesses some of that anger. If I played this for [...]

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 [...]

Sometimes while I’m looking around on MetroLyrics.com, I notice a trend. Today I noticed how often the word “baby” appears in song lyrics, and I decided to search for baby and see how often it came up. Pages and pages of baby-themed songs and artists came up, but as I was scrolling through the first [...]

The celebrities are gearing up for Halloween, and so are we! Nicole Richie has her kids’ costumes planned, and we’re thinking about our own. Zombie bridesmaid? Madonna?

Kanye West has has a colorful year, what with getting spoofed as a gay fish on South Park and interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs. He’s back in the headlines now for pulling a 14-minute video directed by Spike Jonze from his Website and allegedly being dead. Pulling the video was probably a [...]
