Though his story reads like a nice stroll through a few of late 20th century’s most potent musical subcultures, the reason forty-something Brit Harvey Bassett (a.k.a. DJ Harvey) is honored with legend status by today’s disco hipsters rests less on where he’s been, than on what he’s brought back. For one, there’s the eclecticism of his record selection. Having played in...

Suggestions no longer taken, thank you. On November 11 4Music posted an interview with Victoria Hesketh , aka Little Boots. The final question: Your song Stuck On Repeat has a strong cult following amongst your fans. Do you plan to release it on CD at some point?

Dear chorus of MacArthur Park, I was disturbed to learn via numerous artists (Donna Summer, Richard Harris, Glen Campbell, Liza Minelli, Frank Sinatra, etc) that a cake had been left in the rain. I understand that it took you a long time to prepare and we’re all busy people, but I resent the insinuation. Whoever this “someone” [...]

Kelis is taking a break from her current divorce drama and finally releasing some new music. And it is good. Oh, it is very good, readers. It's a world away from the (still brilliant) R&B minimalist shimmy of 'Milkshake,' but it sounds like she's been doing this kind of mind-blowing dance for her whole life. 'Acapella' is a David Guetta donk-fest in the vein of Kylie's 'Light Years' or even an...

As we promised in a post not so very long ago, we're 'getting back to you' on the subject of Kelis' fab-o-los "Acapella". On our first listen, it struck us as quite sparse, empty and lacking something - then the chorus and its beautiful hook broke through, and suddenly the entire song made complete sense. Listening from start to finish is like someone dragging you to a smoky dancefloor where...

The thing I love most about Chris Sorbello is the fact that she gets it. And by it I mean the brave new world of pop music where having a pretty face and a handful of decent songs doesn't cut it anymore. To make a real impact you need to be the complete package and stand out from the crowd - be it by focusing on image a la Lady Gaga, creating a new character (see Beyoncé's Sasha Fierce) or simply...

The NYT reports today that Peter Galbraith "stands to earn perhaps a hundred million or more dollars as a result of his closeness to the Kurds, his relations with a Norwegian oil company and constitutional provisions he helped the Kurds extract."...
