Mark down this day in the history books–I don’t hate Ke$ha anymore. That isn’t to say that I like her, but I don’t have the time or energy to scoff every time someone mentions her name. She’s a necessary evil within this disposable pop music […]

Aural Only: Kelis
I try to avoid saying the word “fierce” out loud. Believe me, this isn’t because of some weird obsession with masculinity or denouncing gay culture as we know it. It just comes off as entirely forced and unnatural… kind of like when I moved to […]
Aural Only: Selena Gomez
There are so many reasons that I shouldn’t love Selena Gomez. After all, the eighteen year-old star is a product of the Disney machine, appearing on a television show aimed towards the tween demographic. Yet much like her predecessors–Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus–her […]
Aural Only: Zayra
We had never heard of Puerto-Rican singer Zayra Alvarez before today. However, we’re taking notice now that her latest single “V.I.P.” is climbing the dance charts! Thanks to remixes by Dave Aude, Mike Rizzo and several other producers, it’s pretty clear why this one’s rocking […]
Cock-A-Doodle Do Me: Lukas
Thanks to the internet, I have that stupid-ass “Peacock” song in my head. Even though I’ve only heard it two or three times, I could probably recite all of the lyrics from memory. It’s the sort of musical disaster-piece that’s so traumatizing that you can’t […]
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: 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 […]
Aural Only: Eminem & Rihanna
At this current moment of time, Eminem and Rihanna are resting comfortably atop the Top Songs charts on iTunes. The unlikely pair collaborated on the rapper’s latest album Recovery, creating an emotionally charged track entitled “Love The Way You Lie”. Though the subject matter is […]
Who Would You Rather?: Musician Edition
Although their music is quite different, both Jack Johnson and Usher have achieved considerable success on the Billboard charts. Most recently, Johnson topped the album charts with his new release To The Sea, while Usher is fresh off a number one single with his hit […]
Discuss: Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro” Music Video
Eight minutes and forty-three seconds. That’s the amount of time you’ll have to devote to sitting through Lady Gaga‘s music video for “Alejandro”. Oddly, it will be over before you even know it, and you’ll be left wanting to hit the replay button (whether you’re […]
