I'm not sure which of these stories is more shocking, so it's up for a vote! Both are "news" today and feature a blast from the past making a comeback. First up - Kate Pierson, the fiery red-head in The B-52's, apparently has a scorned lover who retaliated by posting a nudie pic of the star online. But, as Perez Hilton reported, "her body still looks bangin' " so no harm done I suppose. Her...
It would feel wrong – cruel even - to toss any negativity in the direction of the affable new-wave group the B-52’s. They’ve always been such founts of positivity – drolly witty ambassadors of good cheer, and purveyors of empowering, willfully inclusive garage-pop songs that are carried along by wacky cartoonish lyrics and jubilant dance beats.Sure, a lot of their output could be considere

Lately I have been exploring my love of comic books. My son Alex and I have been reading 'The Marvel Universe Handbook' together. Marvel has always been my bag, though I will say DC has the costumed adventurer I always wished I could be. That was the Flash. Growing up on a piece of isolated farmland in Pennsylvania my mind tended to wander. I read a lot (big surprise there) and one of the thing...
The B-52's announced on their website that they have recorded a new album that will be released early next year! Better yet, they say there will be more electronica on it - HORRAY! Here's what they just added to their Bio page:The B-52’s have just completed recording a brand new album, their first in 15 years, with producer Steve Osborne (KT Tunstall, New Order, Manic Street Preachers) and pr.
ATLANTA - Fifteen years after their last album of new material, The B-52s are wrapping up work on their next one.The quirky dance-pop outfit, which burst onto the new wave scene in 1979 with songs like “Rock Lobster” and cracked the pop charts in the late ’80s with the party classics “Love Shack” and “Roam,” returned to their hometown of Athens, Ga. to finish recording the as-yet unn

No matter where you live on the planet, you are probably experiencing the slowly (ok, maybe quickly) sinking economy. Whether in the U.S. of A, the U of K, the E of U, Down Under or East of the Sun and West of the Moon - the economy sucks. If you are my age (Gen-X elder) or older, you can recall the Regan / Thatcher era of the early 1980s, and how woefully sucky those times were when it came to...
