Cee Lo Green is having a Grammy party tonight for his much nominated song “Fuck You,” which as we all remember focuses on a regular guy who gets snubbed by his superficial, gold-digging girl. It’s an anthem for all of us who’ve been made to feel worthless by shallow jerks, which is perhaps why the …

After oodles of hype this week, Lady Gaga finally “dropped” her new, much-anticipated single, “Born This Way” today, and I gotta say… it makes me cringe. Don’t get me wrong: it’s catchy. But seriously… the lyrics, while admirable in their anthemic aspirations, are just ham-fisted. It’s like my seventh grade self (the same self who …
About two weeks ago, I implored people to submit their favorite musical covers from YouTube in order to win Glee Season 2: Volume 1 on DVD.

(Didn’t make the cut) It’s that time of year again when people put up their Christmas lights and garlands and, in the case of Los Angeles, fake snow (it’s 75 degrees as of press time). One of the most beloved traditions of this time of year is the rash of Holiday music that takes over …
It’s starting to become tradition that the most awful, runtiest, and/or deplorable woman on a reality show now has to release her own single in hopes of expanding her career beyond the confines of whatever basic cable network she’s stuck on. Of course, these ploys never work. It started with Heidi Montag, and was followed …
File this one under “Scandals involving musicians I don’t care about.” I may not be a fan of Lady Antebellum nor a particular devotee of The Alan Parsons Project, but I do love catching musicians in the act of improper acts — particularly in regards to intellectual property. Turns out that Lady Antebellum’s big hit, …

Not too long ago, I received an invite to an intimate performance by international pop star Robyn at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood. I didn’t know what to expect, and even though I only knew a smattering of Robyn’s songs, I knew I had to check it out based on all the buzz I’d seen …
