I’ve noticed I’m compelled to write a lot lately about a large number of things. The only problem with all of these things is that I do not have a lot to say about them. So instead, I’m putting together a brief on pop music news that is relevant to you. This is partially to test the waters to see if something like this is well received or if it is preferred to stick to more specific posts. Here we go….
Pop Topics today includes a taste of what is coming… Read more »

I believe it is important for people to follow-up with important matter. Matters of the heart, (how are you doing with that break-up?) matters at work, (how is that report coming?) matters of friendship, (how is the party planning for Dave’s birthday?), and matters of importance (how is the new Sophie album coming along?) So today, I will talk about one of those, and obviously, I really want to know how that report is coming….
Well since you’re ahead of schedule with that report, I will treat you with news about… Read more »

1. “With Every Heartbeat” - Grovesnor
As much as I am a fan of Robyn’s vocals in the original, I am digging the pingy blips and soothing sound of Grovesnor’s version. It’s a bit slower, a little more rolling, and just overall a really nice take on the song.
2. “The Boys” - Dragonette
The original is, well, just that: an original. It takes some balls to spout off like Calvin Harris, for sure. But then Dragonette comes along, spinning it totally differently, throwing in their kicky little twists, and dare I say,… Read more »

Here it is, our list of all time favorite albums - these are the ones that we can listen to on repeat again and again and never get tired of.
Shan
Anastacia - Anastacia
Although I hate that she self titled this album it is definitely on the top of my favorite albums of all time list. I’ve had this cd in my car cd player since the first day I heard it and haven’t taken it out since. Any time I forget to bring my iPod along it’s the first cd in… Read more »

1. “For the Boys”, The Cardigans
Arguably the best song from the Long Gone Before Daylight era. Somehow Nina’s dewy, dewy vocals really shine in this setting and with these lyrics, which seem like an ode to some tragic hero. She sounds so pretty when she’s jilted.
2. “Cherry Bomb”, Kylie Minogue
To cop a line from Robyn, the intro sounds like something illicit, like gonna get you in trouble. But really, the beat is deep and ominous, and then suddenly Kylie busts in, singing one of the sexier songs I’ve heard from her.… Read more »

There are a few albums due out sometime this year that have me excited.
First, the only album on my list to have a confirmed release date and track listing is Infernal’s latest album, “Electric Cabaret” due out on August 11. This album follows their incredibly brilliant “From Paris To Berlin” CD. The first single from their new album is ‘Downtown Boys’ and takes a lot to get into, it’s definitely different from their previous recordings, but perhaps in a good way. The album is set to have 14 tracks with… Read more »
