Aural Only: Florence + The Machine
In the past couple of months, we’ve received several requests to include Florence + The Machine on our Weekly Top Ten countdown. These folks have obviously neglected to realize that we’re already huge fans, and we’ve featured her on this blog no less than five […]
Aural Only: Ke$ha
Here we go again! That skank who calls herself a musician–otherwise known as Ke$ha–has just released the fourth single from her debut album Animal. The song is called “Take It Off”, and the music video basically details a day in the life of Ke$ha (only […]
Aural Only: Adam Lambert
As a proud gay man with an appreciation for a little flair and glitter, I really want to like Adam Lambert. Though his early post-Idol efforts didn’t aid this mission, he started to win me over with his last single “Whataya Want From Me”. In […]
Album Review: Plastic Beach by Gorillaz
Unfortunately, the latest album by cartoon rockers Gorillaz doesn't present anything nearly as accessible or addictive "Feel Good Inc." and "Clint Eastwood".

Aural Only: Wynter Gordon
As much as I love being bossed around by a verbal manther-type, it's going to take some time for Wynter Gordon's "Dirty Talk" to grow on me. The twenty-four year old singer-songwriter, who's written songs for everyone from Mary J. Blige to Jennifer Lopez, has […]
We’re Still On Call Waiting For “Telephone”
Three new promo shots from the "Telephone" music video have leaked, as we wait with bated breath for the collaboration between two of pop music's most exciting stars. Lady Gaga is giving us exactly what we want (and expect) from her, utilizing the telephone motif […]
Album Review: Soldier of Love by Sade
If the lyrical content of Soldier of Love is any indication of Sade Adu's personal life, it's clear that she's been through a lot in the ten years since Lovers Rock. The album is littered with themes of heartbreak, sorrow and overcoming struggle. Yet despite […]
Aural Only: Tiësto & Nelly Furtado
Tiësto will be releasing his fourth studio album Kaleidoscope on October 6th, and the set features an outstanding collaboration with Nelly Furtado entitled "Who Wants To Be Alone". I'd normally consider this to be too clubby for my tastes, but Furtado's unique vocals give it […]
