"Money can't buy it," Annie Lennox once sang (on the best track on Diva , her 1992 debut solo album). To be fair, according to Annie, neither can sex, drugs or you . (Keep reading after the video.) In 1964, 28 years earlier, The Beatles had taken the limited purchasing power of funds a bit further: "Money can't buy me love," the Fab Four insisted on their fourth No. 1 hit in the U.S and according to Rolling Stone magazine at one point, the 289th greatest song [...]
The world of pop is always a better place when there's new music from Alison Moyet about to enter it. It arrives today in the UK (6 May) in the form of the minutes , which is scheduled to wash up on U.S. shores on June 11. Here are my not-so-random thoughts on the album's 11 tracks. "Horizon Flame" Ambient and futuristic, which are two words one might not have previously associated with Alison Moyet. A post-space age love song (not to be confused with "Yesterday's Flame," Track 1 on 2002's Hometime ), [...]

A couple years after first catching our attention with the slick, MJ-inspired pop-funk of "Serious Music" , Leonard Friend has returned with new fre-EP, LXLF , a five-track mini-set finding the L.A.-based singer/ songwriter/ producer further indulging in a sound that could best be summed up as if the respective indie and mainstream-leaning white soul efforts of Hot Chip and Justin Timberlake somehow folded into one. Earning our own personal kudos as the project's best moment? "Annie Lennox", a teardrops-on-my-keyboard ballad that filters LXLF 's overarching loneliness theme through [...]
Of course, Say Anything has "In Your Eyes", Goodfellas has "Layla", Apocalypse Now has "The End", Fight Club has "Where Is Your Mind", but a cover song in a movie is just different. A cover song in a movie elevates the drama - ascribing all kinds of meaning and sentiment to the music being played. All of a sudden this song that we're pretty sure we've heard before is chewing the scenery and the actors fade into the background. When the director has two characters listen to Sonic Youth cover The Carpenters, or opens his film with a dusty acoustic [...]

Happy New Year to everyone. xoxo Eurythmics Brand New Day, from the Savage long-firm video, directed by Sophie Muller , 1987
I apologize that I have to do this to you so soon after Christmas, but this remix is too darn catchy for its own good. Remix artist ROSTAM , out of Brooklyn New York, remixed Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" and Annie Lennox's "Walking On Broken Glass" . The two songs fit together so perfectly it almost sounds like an original. Whether or not you can appreciate the catchy qualities of this Jepsen song, you can appreciate the Lennox classic. It's a song for everyone, if you will. ROSTAM , [...]

A faintly humorous JPG and some block white Impact text, traditionally speaking. Obviously that Minneapolis pairing Meme neglected to dredge up some as yet unblemished image of Keanu, or Kanye, or whoever have ye for the artwork to début full-length Young suggests Lizzie Brown and Danny Burke may have missed a trick. Though even a cursory airing of album standout Fallen quite clearly illustrates they're bang on the buzzers: a wompy synth-pop thriller that nods to Annie Lennox, Cold Cave, and treasureseason all with even tilt, Brown spectrally sighs: "Just take my hand/ [...]
Este es el primer 13 que no está completo. Algunos otros ( como Luke Abbott ) se negaron a contestar alguna pregunta, pero Jon Hopkins no es del estilo. Después del Log que armó para Noiselab poco antes de su presentación en el marco del festival Sony Mutek.Mx de este año (hace no muchas semanas), Jon contestó el recurrente cuestionario por el que ya varios han pasado últimamente; por desgracia (o destino, como lo quieran ver), las últimas 4 preguntas del formulario regresaron sin respuesta, sólo con una nota que leía lo siguiente: [...]

El show de Gaultier fue el más divertido dentro de los presentados en París, en [...]

According to Mail Online , Annie and Mitch married during a private boat ceremony on England's Thames River. Among the [...]

Staying true to their signature sound - Feeling is a powerful track loaded with loud kick drums, huge piano melodies and addictive stadium-ready synths. Having already gotten consistent support from some of the biggest names in the industry for their previous releases, these fast-rising Dutch producers are not showing any [...]
During NBC's telecast of the London Olympics closing ceremony, Ryan Seacrest called the Spice Girls ' performance the worst-kept secret of the all-star A Symphony Of British Music concert.

One particular pop highlight had Spices Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell zipping [...]

Here come those tears again. No, not the 1977 Jackson Brown song, the real thing. They've been coming out in squirts for a couple of days now, ever since I began writing a 2,000-word freelance essay on Elton John. Instead of whistling while I work, I've been listening to music, his music, remembering how much I've always loved his sad songs -- they say so much, and they're so so good. I've been crying, too. Not sobbing uncontrollably, or even weeping. Just tearing up. A little. On and off and on again. [...]
