Filed under: News , New Music T hough she hasn't produced any new material since 2007's 'Theology,' Sinead O'Connor will be releasing a new version of 'This Is to Mother You' off of her 1997 'Gospel Oak' EP. The new version wasn't made to promote the Irish singer's career but rather to help anti-sex trafficking organization Girls Education and Mentoring Services (aka GEMS) raise awareness about the...

I go back and fourth between hating Lady Gaga and not being able to deny her catchy songs, but generally I think her over the top, dramatic costumes and stage shows are getting both played out and boring to watch. Being “different” can only be done so many times before it starts to be “the [...]
I might be overstating the case. Ward & White’s Karaoke Circus wasn’t world peace, winning the lottery or swimming with dolphins (I have no desire to swim with dolphins), but it was pretty damn good and I’m still smiling. (Or at least I was when I started writing this post on Friday. Had some links [...]
It sometimes seems like we're living in a time warp here at MTV News. Today alone featured visits from old-school hip-hopper KRS-One and a visit to the set of the new video by Alice in Chains. Here's one more flashback to those strange days of the late 1990s: According to Billboard, Lilith Fair will return [...]
Pretty darn old news, but I was reading about Joe Pesci recently and saw that after that most unfortunate debacle with Sinead O'Connor having torn up a picture of His Holiness John Paul II on Saturday Night Live way back when, Joe Pesci hosted the very next episode and presented a fixed version of the picture. I guess that makes him a Defender of the Faith.... or at least Papal Champion. A little blurb...
We have a very interesting piece of artwork for you now, actually when Adam Lambert described to the press how his album would sound, it looks as though the artwork could be described the same way — “as if a ’70s time-capsule blasted off into space and you’re watching it through a holographic filter.” You’ve got [...]
I'm enjoying the hell out of the Genius playlist based on "A Campfire Song" that I blogged about a couple days ago. It has really caused me to rediscover a lot of good old music that I had completely forgotten about. So I thought I'd milk it for a few more blog posts as I know there are some people out there reading that enjoy the retro music and the stories from my high school years surrounding...

“..Music is like the shorthand of history. Listen to the opening chords of “Johnny B. Goode” and one is able to conjure images of fin-tails, greased hair, and sock-hops. Or take a song like “For What It’s Worth” and it is hard not to imagine hippies, protests, and love-ins, even if you were not even [...]
That's what The Wolfmen's new single Jackie, Is It My Birthday? sounds like to me. A swirling dervish of ghostly notes, guitars arpeggiating like the midnight chimes of church bells and snowfalls of slow-shifting synth washes swaddling Sinéad O'Connor and Chris Constantinou as they waltz-in-black through this dark duet like ghost-dancers at the Overlook Hotel. But don't just take my word for...

If you haven't already, you should read Chris Estey's piece on the Sunny Day Real Estate reunion in this week's Stranger . There was a lot of material Estey couldn't fit into that brief article, so Line Out is publishing some outtakes in anticipation of tomorrow night's show. Yesterday covered religion, the media, and the band's break-up . Today: the band's musical roots and hardcore politics. Jeremy...
