Call it an advent of the recession or the formation of another evil conglomerate, but I can’t help but think what would come out of this merger. The characters meeting each other. Animations like no other. And maybe a Marvel World or a EuroMarvel. Yes, Disney has purchased Marvel and that may homogenize the comic /anime world even further. But, let’s give it some time.
Imperfections are in the eye of the beholder. You can see them as flaws, or as the very qualities that make us human — and that make us strive to be better people in search of a perfection that we know we can never fully achieve. In the thirteen songs on her spellbinding new album, Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel, Mariah Carey explores those aspects of our shared humanity with a rare depth, honesty and open-heartedness. It’s one of the strongest statements in her long, distinguished career.
The subject of Memoirs is love at all its stages in our lives. Experiencing it for the first time. Losing it. Remembering its most painful moments, and also its times of greatest innocence and joy. Yearning for it. Learning from it. Growing as a result of its profound power. Finding it again and being grateful for so great a gift. And, finally, being humbled, filled with wonder and elevated by love’s mysterious ways. In that sense and more, Memoirs is a full, immensely satisfying journey.
Yes! Our favorite track from the La Roux album is finally getting the full treatment. “I’m Not Your Toy” is a fun track with loads of attitude. It should go places. It’s La Roux’s year!
Approximately 13,000 people gathered in Mexico to honor Michael Jackson’s life with their rendition of the “Thriller.”
What a way to prepare dessert! I don’t eat sugar. But, this looks like fun.
I don’t know what the no-name judge was talking about. They brought it!
Basement Jaxx haven’t been asked to be back on their record company’s roster. XL Records did not offer them another deal after their 5 album contract ended. So, now they have this last album titled Scars to promote and then that’s it. The record company will probably not release anymore singles and just live off the first week’s sales, which are usually the strongest for such an established band.
That’s quite an evolution!
Someone’s channeling Grace Jones! Rihanna does the cover of Vogue Italia looking as ferosh as ever. There must be a single on the way if she’s doing promotion. Or could it be for the Jay-Z collaboration?
You know a real pop band when you hear them get up on a live TV show and perform and uptempo song like that without lip syncing. That’s how it’s done. Anticipation for Sweet 7 is building up and the y deserve it!
Child of Destiny.
Lady-like with sophomore,
Dodges the slump well.
This song has leaked a while ago and it was featured on one of the compilation. But , we think it’s a tired attempt at releasing an upbeat and trendy track. She should stick to what she does best and stop trying to break the market or fit new trends. A big “No More Drama” number would have been more effective and less timely. Let’s hope Stronger has better songs.

Oasis have split. Yes, it’s yet another fight between the Gallagher brothers. This time Liam (always the shit-starter) allegedly insinuated that Noel’s daughter Anais wasn’t his spawn. So Noel picked up and left. But this is just the fodder. The real news is that Oasis haven’t released anything substational since “D’Ya Know What I Mean” and are, therefore, irrelevant in these times. Also, Liam sure talks a lot of shit for someone with a horrid voice fronting Oasis. Noel is the one that writes the everything and he is the reason why they are a household name. Can’t wait to see Liam squirm when Noel releases his solo material.
Margaret Cho is one of our icons. Her stand-up comedy is some of the best shit we’ve seen ever (and we’ve seen a whole lotta stand-up). This DVD, titled Beautiful, is set to be released november 17th and we can’t wait. It will be her 5th stand-up DVD. It’s bound to bring the chuckles for a year to come.
