Josiah Hawley is quite possibly the worst contestant in the history of The Voice. The former male model was selected for Team Usher, and somehow, he’s made it to the Quarterfinals of the reality singing competition. He is extremely pretty, sure! But am I totally […]
Detox might not have made the final three on Drag Race (and no offense to any of those three but she should have), but she’ll always retain a place in our hearts. Her completely artificial face and body, cutting wit, and taste in couture will […]
UK boy band The Wanted have struggled to snag another stateside Top 40 hit since “Glad You Came“, peaking right around the edge with “Chasing The Sun” and failing rather miserably with the straight-out-of-Ibiza follow-up “I Found You“. Whether you agree or not, the fact […]
I’m still not sold on heavily-hyped band MS MR. The New York duo’s debut album Secondhand Rapture can currently be heard in full on Hype Machine, and I’m trying so hard to not draw comparisons between lead vocalist Plapinger and other female singers on the […]

Just to put things into perspective, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe have been working together as Pet Shop Boys for thirty-two years. That’s longer than I’ve been alive! And yet, despite this—or because of it—they’re still going strong and keeping things moving as they prepare […]
Remember back when Mika was still closeted in that Kevin Spacey way where he insisted on taking the high road by not responding to questions about his sexuality except in nebulous, deflective answers? It was way back in 2006 before people like Lady Gaga and […]
Australian duo Empire of the Sun put together a (mostly) solid set of tunes with their 2008 release Walking on a Dream. Despite my mixed feelings on their theatrics, gimmicky mythology and “MGMT meets David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King” sound, I’m curious to […]
Should I be embarrassed that I kind of like the new Charlotte Church record? Does anyone even know who Charlotte Church is anymore? Eh, I’m not overly concerned! The Welsh singer’s latest project One & Two is a compilation of two previous EPs, and much […]
