Introducing...Carolina Liar
If you happen to watch The Hills, you may have noticed Heidi Montag's fat head. But more importantly, you may have also noticed that the show features some pretty decent music from time to time. Carolina Liar is no exception. The new band's sound is sort of like a more laid back, Californian spin…
I'm Not Gonna Write You A L.O.V.E. Song
This is a review of Ashlee Simpson's latest album, Bittersweet World. I present to you, the reader, a choice: You can continue on reading, or you can indignantly scowl and scroll away. I know the temptation to leave is burning deep into your fingertips. Trust me, I don't blame you, but I do beg…
Don't Tell 'Em What You Know About Me...
Alas, my latest Swedish delight to stumble upon! Her name is Britta Persson, a refreshing indie-pop treat. Quite airy like Lykke Li and complete with a country twang in the vein of Nina Persson (of The Cardigans...related?) She released her second album, Hollywood Kill Me, back in January in the…
Little Bright Lights
Infernal just doesn't know when to quit...Thank God. They're coming back this year after a brief hiatus from the release of mega-smash, essential pop fest of an album, From Paris To Berlin. The songs from that album plagued my playlists from 2004 to 2006, and I only recently began to come down from…
More Witching Hours, New Day
Ladytron’s new album Velocifero, is still about two months away from a physical release, but for the more digital minded, the album has already arrived in leaked form in the past few days. Still in keeping with their more mainstream electronica sound, the album plays much like an addendum to…
Make It Really Loud
As my fellow bloggers have been getting in a tizzy about, the unstoppable Donna Summer is back once more this year. She returns with "Stamp Your Feet" from her newest album, Crayons, certainly one of the most anticipated releases of the year. The new single is very Cher meets Gwen's…
High School Funk
Well, look! It's the comeback single of Zac Efron's lady friend Vanessa Hudgens, called "Sneakernight"! There's two things I refuse to accept here: The song's title, and her supposed relationship with Zac Efron. Anyway, make way for the footwear, because here it is! Now there's a song that truly…
Officially
Look everyone, it's Cassie, the R&B one-or-two time dark dancefloor sensation responsible for the major hit "Me & U" and mini-hit "Long Way 2 Go" two years ago! Yep, she's back. And this time, she's in the hands of Danja and The Clutch with "Official Girl." It's a little mid-tempo…
I Got All The Boys...
Time for a little update, man style. The first song comes to us by Matt Pokora, from his newly released album, MP3. For those unfamiliar with the sexy French singer, you're missing out. Yeah, his style's constantly compared to fellow lady-chaser Justin Timberlake. Well actually, some say he's a…
