You Say Party! We Say Die! > > new tunesThe latest from the radically named You Say Party! is miles away from 2006's rebelious hyperactive song "The Gap." Two new tracks available from the album XXXX are like Cat Power fronting the Yeah Yeah Yeahs with the post-punk mood of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Yes, cause it's a girl singing. These tracks are as hot as those girls in the band....

From Up & Coming : The Hidden Cameras, Gentleman Reg (Triple Door) You kind of dig yourself into a (glory-)hole when you open and close your breakthrough album of choral pop with songs about water sports (and I ain't talking about synchronized swimming!). Do you attempt to up the dissonance factor with yet raunchier lyrics set to even more delicately baroque ditties? Do you just try to gracefully...

Kristen Stewart's Chin is going to haunt my dreams tonight. I just hope and pray that Chris Weitz has directed New Moon with more flattering camera angles than stoner betch Catherine Hardwicke. I... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

OK--students in my cultural studies course had a bit of a crisis because half of their presentation group dropped out. They are doing a presentation on the Goth subculture and the two members that dropped out were covering the music. So I offered to help out with an introduction to the roots of the Goth sound (as a non-expert)... here is what I came up with, anyone want to suggest additions? 1970s:...

November is getting all too busy for Diva Incarnate , so before I close the blog in December (with posts still to arrive throughout this month still), here are some face-changing Christmas songs listed in no particular order, of which are not all predictable shopping complex noise - my own perspective on Christmas can veer from the wintry chill of a Ladytron ballad, to the positively arctic gale in...

Son of Rambow : 6.5 out of 10. Much like Where the Wild Things Are, which I saw the previous day , Son of Rambow is about the wonders of a child's imagination. It's a very cute and charming little British film about a sheltered boy who is shown a pirated copy of First Blood. That unleashes the creative filmmaker within. It's a simple movie, but pleasing. Taking place in the early 80s, it has a great...

Say you're a glamorous media type who gets invited to fascinating, star-studded events, and you need a buddy to bring as an accomplice. A buddy who laughs loudly and wears an outlandish costume and/or matches your colors. I am that buddy . It's good to have me around, because I'm not competing for your job -- I'm just there to be agreeable. Wednesday night saw me and Rohin at SoHo's Agent Provocateur...
