McSweeney's shortens 50 years of popular songs into single sentences.
Music Buzz The Indiana-bred crooner’s star is on the rise, and not just because of his Abercrombie-good looks (although that can’t hurt, either). Has pop found its next John Mayer, but not a douche?
Music Buzz Britney Spears’s new single (currently #1 on iTunes) is getting the remix treatment all over the place. First she swept the VMA’s, and now her new single is feeling the love. Do we smell a comeback or is that just Cheetos residue?
TV Buzz The MTV show — which has suffered increasingly sagging ratings — will end its 10-year-run in November, when it will air a two-hour special on a Saturday afternoon. Now where will screaming teenage girls catch a glimpse of The Jonas Brothers? Oh, right — everywhere.
Director David LaChappelle has given Rihanna’s pop ditty a dark, macabre treatment in the new video.
Music Buzz Daryl Hall (the half of Hall & Oates without the mustache) has a web series on which he invites contemporary pop artists like Gym Class Heroes and KT Tunstall to jam at his in-home studio. Leave your sense of ironic appreciation at the door. This guy proves that rock gods not only exist, but that they can come with a gorgeous head of hair.
Music Buzz Auto-tune is the reason why the vocals on pop songs sound so fake. This list of top 10 songs that exemplify auto-tune abuse has been circulating on the web. Do you believe in life after love? We have a harder time believing that the vocal effect that makes us think of Cher in a slutty unitard has made its way into gangsta rap.
