Recording Industry Representative Determines Recording Industry Important
In an incongruous break with tradition, the music industry has decided to let everyone know that the music industry is very important, and you shouldn’t go and get yourself caught up in this whole “internet” business. And some of what they say just might be true.
KISS is for the Children
Once your band members have gone as far as making branded urinal cakes, where can you go from there? The answer to that is, of course, a children’s show: “Leading independent studio, E1 Entertainment is thrilled to finalize their production and development deal with legendary rock band KISS. E1 will tap the worldwide enthusiasm for [...]
D’Angelo Pleads Not Guilty of Roadside Sexiness
Since many may not have thought of D’Angelo for a while, you might need to be reminded that he was pretty much one of the biggest R&B stars ten years ago. After 2000′s Voodoo, he’s gone a bit Sly Stone/Brian Wilson (he got fat and weird and reclusive), and only makes the news after being [...]
Jawbox reforms! (But only for Jimmy Fallon.)
In one of the more bizarre bits to come out of the Every Single Band Must Reform! trend, DC punk heroes Jawbox reunited for one night, just to perform on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They have no plans to play anywhere else. Perhaps more importantly, the band’s brilliant 1994 album For Your Own Special [...]
Are these really our best One-Hit Wonders?
So Billboard has released their list of the 39 One-Hit Wonders of the decade. Due to their ranking system, the winner, so to speak, is Daniel Powter’s execrable American Idol-favorite “Bad Day.” But surely we can do better than this? The full list is below, and while there are at least one or two good [...]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Grammy time!
In what may be the most boring piece of news (that, for some reason, still must be written about) of the day, the Grammy award nominations have been announced. It’s a standard list of people that few still care about, though there are some nominees that are worthwhile for comedy’s sake: “I’m on a Boat” [...]
Today’s Music Roundup
So in the interest of getting more music coverage over here, I’ve been going over the last few days or so of news. (Under normal circumstances, I would keep up, but it was a holiday, and frankly, whatever could be going on with Ariel Pink? wasn’t exactly at the forefront of my mind.) It turns [...]
Top Five Musicals To Claim My Soul
This fall, Glee will steal our hearts and our Tuesday nights. But since FOX is a big whore tease, we only have the musical moments of the past to cuddle with at night before we can hear the sweet, sweet voice of Lea Michele sing Journey again.? Here?s a recap of the top five best [...]
(Practically) FREE MUSIC! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!
If you torture somebody long enough, you can get that person to say or do almost anything. Whether it’s true or decent or not is completely irrelevant – the point, for the tortured, is to make it stop, no matter what the cost. I was reminded of this fact when I came across this story [...]
A cruel and shallow money trench, now filled with naked people!
How do you know the industry you work for is in trouble? We’re sure there are all kinds of fancy economic formulas and indicators and stress tests and whatnot, but I think I’ve just found something far more reliable. It’s a very simple proof. IF: one of your industry’s rising stars resorts to using hardcore [...]

This Year, Mother's Day Won't Cost You Nothing
Hey, we can’t all provide the chocolates and trips home that mom deserves on Mother’s Day (Sunday, May 10th! Don’t forget!) this year, but hopefully you can make it up to her. Provided of course, that your mom is one of those cool ones that knows how to use the Internet and likes to smoke [...]
