Here’s Janelle Monae‘s new single “Dance Apocalyptic.” As you can see, it’s more of her high concept campy pop weirdness and, yet again, it’s far more palatable than any of the other professionally weird pop divas making things at the moment. The first time I […]
We haven’t written a proper album review in nearly two years. Considering how rusty I am, the best I can say of Dark Dark Dark‘s Who Needs Who is that it’s “really good”. The album, largely, finds inspiration from emotional tension within the band. While […]
Attending a live performance by Living Days is a pretty unforgettable experience. Lead singer Stephonik Youth gives off a magnetic energy, working the audience like the androgynous and otherworldly spawn of David Bowie. It’s impossible to not get sucked in. Your body just submits to […]
Here’s a word of advice to any up-and-coming R&B divas (who just so happen to be reading a blog about penises). If you’re going to make an album about female empowerment, you probably shouldn’t have Chris Brown on the tracklist. That’s the first of many […]

Grundgetta from Sesame Street just released her debut album! Actually, it’s just the re-release of Ke$ha‘s Animal, but who can even tell the difference between those two? Rumor has it that they both enjoy passing out in dumpsters and cum on their boobs. And I […]
Loud is on the same level as Michael Jackson‘s “Thriller”! It’s the next step in the evolution of Rihanna, packed with tracks that are sassy, fun, flirty and energetic! Rest assured, this isn’t a generic pop record that Ke$ha, Lady Gaga or Katy Perry could […]
From John Legend to Mary J. Blige, there’s an impressive guest list on Quincy Jones‘ new album Q – Soul Bossa Nostra. The project finds the legendary musician revisiting tracks he previously produced, recorded or composed, with vocal contributions from a variety of contemporary pop […]
Sunshine Anderson can best be described as a one-hit wonder, known primarily for her 2001 R&B single “Heard It All Before”. A few years after her debut, the singer signed a deal with Matthew Knowles‘ record label Music World Entertainment, releasing her criminally overlooked sophomore […]
