Liz Janes may appear on the roster of indie label Asthmatic Kitty–home to Sufjan Stevens and a handful of hipster blog darlings–but her latest album Say Goodbye isn’t what you’d expect from a modern-day “indie” project. It’s somewhere between Carole King and the early work […]

Aural Only: Enrique Iglesias
We’re amazed that it’s taken us this long to write about a song in which Enrique Iglesias sings about fucking us. Who cares if it’s another headache-inducing dance track where he’s Auto-Tuned beyond belief? We just like to imagine Enrique serenading us with an acoustic […]
Aural Only: Kim Ann Foxman
Do you have a weak spot for early ’90s house music? Then you’ll love Kim Ann Foxman‘s debut solo single “Creature”. Some of you may recognize Kim Ann as a vocalist for Hercules and Love Affair. And the rest of you are probably scratching your […]
Weekly Top Ten: Pink Stomps On Katy’s Face
Well, this is becoming a bit of a trend! For the sixth week in a row, bad-ass pop star Pink has rocked our Weekly Top Ten countdown, despite the controversial return of Katy Brand‘s number one hit “Firework”. The two singers will duke it out […]

If you’re familiar with singer Robbie Williams, you’re probably aware that it doesn’t take much for him to take off his clothes. Of course, we didn’t realize he was such a cheap date! While appearing on a Danish talk show, the English pop star dropped […]
Gleek Out: A Very Glee Christmas
Unless you loathe Christmas music, it’s impossible to be a Grinch about last night’s episode of Glee. They did a good job at capturing the seasonal spirit without going overboard into cheesy territory. Okay, so maybe a little cheesy. But we’ve come to expect that […]
Weekly Top Ten Wild Card: Hip-Hop Vs. Indie
While Pink and Katy Perry duke it out for the number one spot on this Saturday’s Weekly Top Ten, we’re over here trying to figure out which songs should make an appearance on the countdown. Honestly, we would have loved to show some love for […]
Album Review: Nicki Minaj
Don’t rush to the store to pick up Nicki Minaj‘s debut album Pink Friday. Out of the 350,000 copies sold within the first week, a good portion will be discarded into your local record store’s bargain bin by true hip-hop fans. Well, assuming they even […]
