The Singles Collection is way too close to Greatest Hits: My Prerogative. But, she needs to make some money y’all. And this will hopefully include all the singles ever. She might need more than one disc for it. It is rumored that this is the cover, which is not bad, but not a new photoshoot. Lady GaGa wrote a song for the album called “Telephone,” which should be the single. Also leftovers from Britney (“Bring Me Home”) and Circus (“Whiplash”). Two previously unreleased track will make it also. “Hush Hush” and “Hold On To Me.” Looks promising!

To deter rain, try the umbrella veil

acapThe Koreans have gone and done it again. This time it’s the cap umbrella. It’s for children, so they don’t get their clothes wet. Meanwhile, here it could be another fashion trend as they are running out of ways to wear the veil. It’s very handy and very futuristic, to say the least. It looks like a UFO (and if you read UFO like it’s a word and not an acronym, you’ve got issues).

Fresh: Video: “Sabotage” by Kristinia DeBarge

We were half an inch away from including this song on SlinkyPop, but the beau told us otherwise. We can understand, that it is to templated and made-for-radio. But, it could be one big club stomper. The video;s quality is not that good, but once it’s officially released we will update. We still can’t believe she is the daughter of Janet Jackson’s former husband and wife-beater.

Moby’s “Wait For Me” is one of the best records of the year

2009 has been rife with album releases. So much more than any other year we have encountered in popdom. Everyone and anyone has some sort of release this year. But, it’s sad to say, that there are a few that actually stick out. Not many good albums this year and we are worried we won’t be able to fill our year-end charts.

Moby’s new album is not one of this empty releases. It’s actually one of his best musical efforts, if not the best. It’s stripped-down and melancholy. Electronica without being noisy, moody without being dreary. Wait For Me is sombre synth record like no other. One would think that being independent would be a hurdle on some artists, but it wasn’t for Moby. With no big-name appearances, the album floats purely on it’s content. Tracks devoid of vocals like “Isolate” amuse and merge well with singles like “Pale Horses” and “Shot In The Back Of The Head.”

If the releases don’t shape up this year, Moby will definitely be on our top 3.

Michael Jackson etched in our hearts…

In tribute to the King Of Pop, the master Etch-A-Sketcher George Vlosich III spent 150 hours doing this piece for Michael which he plans to sell during the concert in Vienna. The etch-a-sketch includes many phases of MJ’s life from the Jackson 5 days to HIStory. How much do you think it’ll go for?

Fresh: Video: “Melody” by Kate Earl

We’ve had a soft spot for Kate Earl since her MySpace heyday. “Someone To Love” was the greatest Fiona Apple song that’s not actually Fiona Apple’s. This time around she is opting for a commercial sound, probably due to the goading of Universal Music. It still sounds good laid under her unique vocals. Watch out, Kate Earl is resurfacing!

Speakers as key-chains

These mini-speaker’s look like the bee’s knees for a hot second or two but then it got us thinking. How loud can they be if they are that tiny and are they more nifty or novelty? They have USB jacks for charging and an AUX input so you can plug it to your iPod or other device. They go for $25 and come in these two different styles. You can find them at this website. They’re still fun to have, no?

Not only have Radiohead confirmed that the leaked track “These Are My Twisted Words” is off of their next album, but also made it available for free on their website. The song is very Kid A in it’s arrangement and the vocals only start halfway through. The song continues their streak of greatness. Another song from the forthcoming album titled “Harry Patch (In Memory Of)” is also available for  the fee of £1. We can’t say that they are going in the right direction because they never strayed out of it.

Brad Pitt talks liberalism with Bill Maher

Why is what he said so controversial? It’s liberalism 101. He is so guarded, yet so passionate. Yes, legalization of marijuana is a right, yes gay marriage is a human right and yes the right to no religion is a human right. Get over yourselves good-bye and get over it! If you don’t believe in something it doesn’t mean that other people shouldn’t enjoy these rights. Sit down on your couch, do what you feel is right and shut the fuck up.

Björk’s first album found

Björk’s first album, which was released only in Iceland with a limited number of copies, is very hard to find. It’s almost as much of a collectible as the first vinyl pressings of Elvis Presley’s christmas album. So, it came as a beautiful surprise when we found it today while looking for some obscure remixes. And, more so, the 11 year old’s effort is not so bad. It’s filled with cover songs translated into Icelandic with the exception of one song writtern by her stepdad called “Arabadrengurinn,” which means “The Arab Boy.” I wonder what this song is about, can anyone find the English translation. At any rate, it’s a great find.
