When I mentioned Lou Reed in a recent post on my blog about Leonard Cohen, I was reminded of Reed’s song, “Dirty Blvd.” I haven’t heard it since it was popular and on the airwaves in 1989. I found an Mp3 of the song, and it’s just as cynical as I remember. Lou Reed [...]

Fact: I have literally not paid any attention to Band Hero except for the time Nick told me Taylor Swift was in it. So then, today's unveiling of the game's full track list by Spinner is even more of a shock to me; since I am unaware of what has and hasn't been confirmed for Band Hero , this stuff is all brand new to me. Personally, I think it's a fairly strong line-up. Most of it, as far as I can...

by: Charles Husemann NEWS - Just in time for the weekend Activision has released a three song demo of Band Hero on Xbox Live (no word on a PS3 version of the game but I would expect it to show up next week). The three songs in the demo are : “Paralyzer” – Finger Eleven “Picture to Burn” – Taylor Swift “Walking on Sunshine” – Katrina and the Waves...

My days of watching the pop charts on a weekly basis ended when I realized I didn't know ONE of the bands in the top 10 one week. So it was all the more surprising to read that songs by the "Glee" kids -- a show I actually watch -- were all over the place, accounting for 10 spots on the iTunes list of top 200 downloaded songs and four places on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week. (The top-selling...

by Anna Campbell This morning, I was wandering around the house trying to get enthused about doing some work. I had the TV on to one of those video channels on cable TV. I heard this short electronic fanfare and suddenly Just Can't Get Enough by Depeche Mode was playing. My morning suddenly started to sparkle. It's such a happy song and it never fails to make me smile. So I started to think of other...

First off, I owe Cory Monteith an apology: When the guys’ Bon Jovi/Usher mash-up was released as a teaser clip and I criticized his dancing, I didn’t realize that the exhausted and Drakkar Noir-scented Finn was hopped up on pseudoephedrine courtesy of Terri, who took a one-episode job as school nurse to keep an eye

I loved "Walking on Sunshine" when Katrina and the Waves first sang it way back in 1985 so, of course, I was all smiles when the Glee girls performed it in tonight's episode. They were terrific in their mashup rendition of the tune with Beyoncé's "Halo". However, the boys were equally impressive with Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" and Usher's "Confessions Part...

I think someone's making up for the fact that the photos of the boys performing in this week's episode of Glee came in late . Here's a video! This one, from the folks at PopEater , who made me realize what I should've realized early on: the guys are singing Bon Jovi's "It's My Life", not the Talk Talk one that was remade by No Doubt. The problem, it seems, with having the same song titles....

Ingrid Michaelson is everything you could want in a performer. She’s funny, personable, witty, and above all, extremely talented. She surrounds herself with an equally talented group of individuals whose camaraderie is apparent from the moment they take the stage. Part of that talented group is UK singer/songwriter Greg Holden , who opened the evening with a handful of songs from his new EP...
