First of all, the best part of this remix of REVOLVER is that they axed Lil Wayne's blabbering nonsense. David Guetta takes MADONNA away from the urban swag and straight to the dance floor that she works so well. After the disaster of poor mastering, tracking and everything else that went along with Celebration...I think it's time for a new album from M! P.S. I still love Celebration the song! ...

Last night ABC aired JANET JACKSON's interview with ROBIN ROBERTS. It was a touching interview that focused a lot on Janet's relationship with Michael and her thoughts about his death. It also covered her music, weight issues, and touched on her relationship with Jermaine Dupri. Janet really opened up to Robin, and it was nice to see that through it all she is still able to smile. Watching the...

The true test of a pop artist destined for longevity is shown through their follow up release to such a successful debut. LADY GAGA departs from her obsession with fame and fortune and moves on to the darker side of slick produced pop/dance music on The Fame Monster. Overall the album sounds reminiscent of Britney's Blackout with a much darker twist. Her vocals sound much more consistent than t...

I loved NNEKA's track Heartbeat when it was released earlier this year and it's follow up THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH doesn't disappoint in the slightest. Her first U.S. release, Concrete Jungle (in stores February 2), 'stands as an offering of love, hope and optimism dedicated to the people of Warri & the Niger Delta of Nigeria.' Catch yourself up on Nneka's material with my favorite album, Victim...

Susan Clermonts aka KRAUSE is from the Netherlands - a wonderfully chill place I can only imagine myself being while I listen to No Guts, No Glory and watch it's beautifully kitschy (love the scenes in the woods) video - which you absolutely must check out. Oops! She's got some naked pics on Twitter to show you @thisiskrause. Just kidding...or am I? More importantly, she has produced her debut...

Photo by Alexandra SerioISLANDS played a great show at NYC's Bowery Ballroom this past Thursday replete with rhinestone-studded wardrobe and the cheeky showmanship that we have come to expect from Nick Thorburn. The former Unicorns front man strut around stage in a make-shift striptease of sorts disrobing systematically from an outfit that looked like the bastard love child of Elvis and Ziggy S...

So its' Saturday and all kinds of nasty outside in NYC! They tell me the rain will stop but the puddles to skip over and all just, phew. Watching MADONNA's Confessions Tour this week on Youtube - yes, you better watch it before some dick wad up in the record label reports it to Google-owned Youtube. Can you imagine being that guy?The first dance god I heard was during my days at the Roxy and y...

I always jump at the chance of being offered vinyl to give away on the blog to our readers. Weather you are a collector or simply miss having their album artwork printed large - vinyl is a great medium for music visually and sonically. We have a bunch of copies of THE SOUNDS single NO ONE SLEEPS WHEN I'M AWAKE from Crossing the Rubicon on 7'' vinyl for ya. It includes the title track and a li...

Wow! I'm really loving this new RIHANNA track COLD CASE LOVE that was written by JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE. It's such a departure from the bubble gum pop that Rihanna usually comes out with (which I love) the album is shaping up to be much darker than previous efforts (to be expected I suppose) These lyrics are deep "We opened up a cold case love and it got the best of us, and now printed pictures and ...

What a nice little surprise this morning from SOLANGE. In her cover of STILLNESS IS THE MOVE by the DIRTY PROJECTORS she includes a little ERYKAH BADU flavor - sampling BAG LADY (which happens to be one of my favorite tracks ever.) I'm so obsessed with this right now, it's such a nice slow groove to chill with as we move into the weekend! Erykah and Solange really need to collaborate on somet...

CASXIO first grabbed my attention with that the delightful electro funk debut single SEVENTEEN and its eye catching video (watch here) featuring front man Lucas Guerin taking on the role of a 17 year old girl, styling and all! Eager to learn more about the man behind the dress and his band, we sat down with him at CMJ to have a very random chat about everything from their debut album and inspir...

Ooh its video premiere time! Here is LADY GAGA's latest BAD ROMANCE that just premiered. Once again Gaga comes with a creative video, its so nice to see someone continually raising the bar! My friend said he sees a little ANNIE LENNOX in her here (I'm totally seeing Bare era with those close ups of Gaga's face when she's dressed in white - and the orange hair sparks a memory too) She's not afr...

TEMPO NO TEMPO, A dynamic trio that will do nothing but please the Punk band genere. I would not absloutley call them punk but if your a ninties child [ which you had to be at least 10-18 at the time depending on your intellegince] they will sound punky to you. I actaully had the privelege of having a impormptu interview with the lead singer, as pushy and insulting as I was and trust I do a ...

Wow I love waking up to a sunny Autumn day with a track that takes me back to the sun-laden beach days of Summer. It's from a new band called ROCKETS. The track is aptly called GOLDEN STRINGS and does nothing but live up to it's name of a funky disco tune that has just washed ashore - get ready for this one to continue to rollerskate through all the blogs like wildfire. Lovin' the single artwo...

Matt and I saw DRAGONETTE perform a ridiculously great show at Santos Party House this week and we're still on a high from that as we bring you this banging remix by BUFFETLIBRE of EASY. It's one of my favorite tracks from FIXIN TO THRILL and I'm loving this funked up remix. These guys always hit the mark with their mixes! - CamilleKeep your eyes on Hard Candy for our new interview with Martin...

I'm experiencing major LADY GAGA love right now! Though I've always enjoyed the music and many of her performances, I've never really watched many of her interviews. I've been checking more out recently and enjoying hear her talk about her art and the musicians she admires like DAVID BOWIE. It's nice to see someone out there with great artistic reference points who is clearly passionate about ...

It's all about coverin' the boobs and showin' she's not one to mess with on RIHANNA's new single covers for Russian Roulette (which we've already seen) and the newly leaked video/single cover for Wait Your Turn. It's been known that RiRi was going for an 'edgier' direction, and that seems fitting regarding the test of a year she's had. Here is the complete 20/20 Interview which aired on ABC ...
