Less ladies who stare and more holy grail?

three of them are a direct reflection of my ambivalence towards Cyndi’s concert the other day. Including the Prince one.

“I just wanted to get out there and play for you again. After 30 years, with the movie, my book, and then a successful show opening for Joan Jett in 2010, the time was right for me to make a record.”

Channel 4 in Britain was forced to pay $14,000 in fines as punishment for unauthorized use of the tune, Morrissey turned that money over to PETA to finance the anti fois gras movement

It was between this and a dream setlist for a dead rock star, something I haven’t done in years, but after well over ten minutes of deep thought I went with this cut and paste job

The old Carter Family hit given a bravado performance by Anna after an astonishing 28 weeks on the charts, she finally cracks the Top 10

Cole was sold 457,000 copies of Born Sinner, West 430,000 copies of Yeezus. I wonder how that sits with the rap giant?

Laura is back on tour and we get two nights at MHOW, though if she scared up a 90 minute set I bet she could fill Town Hall no questions asked

There simply is NO redeeming quality about this poorly constructed self indulgent piece of trash from one of my favorite artists.

Grown men whimpering out this tune make me want to punch them in the neck.

‘a set of anthems for the refuseniks, Molotov tossers, pacifist soldiers and bug-eyed freaks’,… okay!

I’d be happy to see Wilson solo-the last time was two years ago. But with the Beach Boys? It’s too sad.

I would claim to be disappointed but really, who expects much more but mediocrity from Ciara or Donell Jones, or Skylar Grey.

In this particular case the BBC has stumbled upon some rare recordings. Is this a matter of bad housekeeping? Could it be tapes misplaced? Aren’t these things chronicled or filed in some sort of order?

Jimi Hendrix was probably the last black rock star, and despite Kanye West claiming everywhere he is the greatest rock star, he isn’t

It is that Pitchfork trashed her awesome 2010 album MAYA and for that alone she is an immediate superstar in my book

This all goes down very easy; it is sweet and sappy and fun

I am going to go with Skylar, the indie pop chick who came to prominence on “Love The Way You Lie”. I’ve heard some songs off the newbie and yes, I like em. Don’t love em.

As for Pharrell, what kinda summer is this man having? Two of the three songs and now one of the big movies

So I say….what the hell.. and then I said WHAT THE HELL?

Who, precisely, is offering to stop animal testing in scientific tests in return for Leona Lewis stopping singing? Besides us, I mean

Who does she think she is? Is she that proud of her cheesy lyrics?

Paris Jackson the beautiful child of Michael Jackson had a slight suicide scare and has reportedly has a dark side exhibited on her Tumblr. Tumblr, is one of the most dangerous websites on the net.

I don’t much care for Rudimental but John Newman solo is another question: he is a cool weirdo with an ear for dance

What the hell do Mumford And Sons have two songs on the charts for, eh? I’ll tell you, because they got a bounce from their gig at Glastonbury

Sweet are performing Upstate and nowhere else and I would love, love love to see em… so come to town guys and don’t forget your platform shoes and eyeliner

Good times, fabulous neon times of teetering on the edge of extreme innocence and wise beyond years. A snapshot of time that this album enlarges and clarifies into a superb scrapbook.

Or, and this is the crazy proposition suggested about everywhere, it could be used for cloning

While I expect Taylor Swift to have many more problems projecting at Metlife on Saturday, my money is on Taylor to pull it off.

Meanwhile, Jahn, Tomas, and Shinobi all represent a real independent spirit

Joe is a good not great singer, superb with rhythm but his songs are generic and not particularly memorable
