We’re totally digging Ellie Goulding‘s latest single “The Writer”, even if it doesn’t necessarily have “Song of Summer” written all over it. While it’s nowhere near as exciting or upbeat as her previous output, there’s something very refreshing about hearing her vocals on a toned-down pop […]

Vote For The Weekly Top Ten Wild Card
What defines the sound of summer? Is it a blaring club jam that leaves you sweatier than you’ve ever been? Or a laid-back tune about throwing back a beer or two? Don’t expect any answers from me! It’s up to you to decide which of […]
Aural Only: Katie Melua
Why aren’t you listening to Katie Melua‘s new album The House? There really isn’t a good answer to that question. Unless you’re about to tell me that you are listening to her new album. The William Orbit-produced set is one of the better releases of […]
Aural Only: Jason Derülo
As you might recall, I wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about Jason Derülo‘s debut single “Whatcha Say”. That might explain why our review of his debut album read like a three-paragraph backhanded compliment. However, when it all comes down to it, the guy’s clearly got a gift […]
Aural Only: Brandon Flowers
What’s better than a music video full of ninjas? The answer is quite simple–a music video full of ninjas getting their asses kicked by Charlize Theron. That’s the concept behind “Crossfire”, the solo debut from Brandon Flowers of The Killers, and it’s even more exciting than […]

Change is good, right? We sure as hell hope so, because we’re moving the Wild Card round of our Weekly Top Ten from its traditional spot on Thursday to a new home on Wednesdays. This will give you an extra day to fully absorb the […]
Aural Only: Maroon 5
When it comes to Maroon 5, it’s been said that you either love them or hate ’em. Though I happen to fall into the latter category, I’m more than willing to admit that ninety-percent of gay men disagree with me on the band’s general shittiness. […]
Vote For The Weekly Top Ten Wild Card
Care to lend a helping hand? We’re getting ready for this Saturday’s Weekly Top Ten countdown, and we could use some assistance with choosing the tenth and final song on the charts. You may be a little worn out from voting on The Ten, but […]
Aural Only: Benny Benassi
Club kids take notice! Italian DJ Benny Benassi–who you may know from his massive dance hit “Satisfaction”–has a new album dropping soon. The first single “Spaceship” has recently been making the rounds, and it features guest vocals by Kelis, Jean-Baptiste and apl.de.ap of The Black […]
