" A Christmas download? But it's still November! " I hear you cry. Yes, this is true and I normally have a rule not to play Christmas music before December (well it's more of a guideline really...) but I realised that there are now only four Fridays to Christmas. By my reckoning, that makes this the first free download Friday in advent. :-) 349/365: Aunt Catherine's Lights Originally uploaded...

I'm just listening to the Ronnie Spector album, Last Of The Rock Stars (I know I'm a bit late, but it's just been reissued with an extra track...), and it's a very reasonable collection, with a few proper highlights. Anyway, thought I'd check on Amazon for a decent Ronettes compilation and found this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spector-Definitive-Collection-Various-Artists/dp... With Chrimbo on the way,...

He has represented Lil' Kim, mobsters, and gang leaders. But somewhere along the way, he allegedly became quite the criminal himself. Federal prosecutors say Paul Bergrin had a wintess killed in a drug case, hired a hit man to kill another, and used a Newark restaurant as front for a cocaine ring. The Philadelphia Inquirer has the full story here . Talking Points Memo covered it here. The Inquirer...

Research into song lyrics about sexual violence reveals that they both support and empower women Back in 1962, the Crystals released a song called He Hit Me (And it Felt like a Kiss) . "If he didn't care for me," warbled one of the most popular American "girl groups" of the day, "I could have never made him mad. But he hit me and I was glad." Deborah Finding, from the...

From Mel Gibson’s mad “Mona Lisa” smile to the bare-headed Phil Spector and the Beethovenian mop of Nick Nolte, the decade was a stellar one for celebrity mugshots that went viral.

Filed under: Spinner Interview Ronnie Spector 's long-delayed album, 'The Last of the Rock Stars,' finally sees a North American release Nov. 10. The record, which came out in Europe in 2006, is both a fond memoir and a bold statement on Ronnie's musical legacy. On it, she honors her first musical love, Frankie Lymon, with her version of the '50s boy crooner's holiday hit 'It's Christmas Once Again.'...

Mad love for Mariah Carey's artistry, exhibited through her "Fly Like a Bird" performance on American Idol . Damn! Mariah is just all that. When watching Mariah perform "Fly Like a Bird" before this audience of idols, notice how much stronger her voice becomes once the choir comes out and pumps her up; she raises that hand up high, high, and higher, as if to say Amen! I love how...

Some songs are just dangerous. Meet Me By The Water is one of those songs. It's a three-minute piece of indie-pop propaganda that makes you wish to be by a riverbank with a battery-powered record player and a scene-girl pulling at her laddered tights as the sun goes down. All of which sounds incredibly romantic when you're trapped in a tiny room with a bed, hunkered over a computer at 3am trying to...

Four albums in, and there’s no easy move for Times New Viking to make. Mopping up the murk of their previous three releases for a crisper, more mature sound might actually be the most ordinary, clichéd path available. “Noiseniks go symphonic pop!” is a story that’s been told at least since The Ramones were trading skin- and hair-care tips with Phil Spector. That said,...

As the adverts always have it - NEW! IMPROVED! VIM! And, no doubt, ZIP A DEE DOO-DAH! too So, Vim is a concept that can mean many things to many people. Over on the Mothership, some people seem to have objected to the idea that up tempo songs automatically means vimminess, but I don't know about that, one woman's Vim is another woman's Cillit Bang. Personally, a toe-tapping quality switches on my vim...
