Scarred by its forays into tawdriness going a little too far , Vh1 has put out a press release touting its fall and winter schedule, which is actually anchored by more than one show that's tangentially related to music. Perhaps the most interesting among them to Idolator readers is the rebirth of Behind The Music , the docudrama series that became so iconic, it inspired multiple parodies . (Being ideal fodder for weekend days spent on the couch, whether alone or in a Beavis And Butt-Head -ish situation with friends, surely helped.) What's notable [...]

We gotta admit: There's so much clubby manic-ness going on in this up(UPUPUPUP)-tempo remix of Bobby Brown's 1988 New Jack jam that, when listening to it, you'll probably wind up screaming "JUST PLAY THE DAMN SONG STRAIGHT ALREADY" at the top of your lungs (plus, Trying to dance along to it + Being over the age of 25 = You're trying to have a heart attack!!). At the same time though, we've been giddily playing it over and over since we first discovered it, so that must mean we kinda dig it, right? [...]

Ok, today's OSM has a deal, and I shall tell you what it is. We were away this weekend for a family wedding (big up to Chrissy & Paul and the good people of Fredericton - home of Forward music ), and so I didn't have much time to prepare an OSM for today. But as it happens, today is also my wife Petra's birthday, and so I thought I'd dedicate today's OSM to her and let her pick some songs. I mean after all, we've been together since high school, so surely she would have [...]

Whitney Houston is making a comeback, everyone! And I can't freaking wait! I've missed her music so much since she fell for that douchebag Bobby Brown . The original queen bee is back with her newest song, "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" and you can check it out below: [See post to listen to audio] Her voice is obviously not the same as it used to be, but girlfriend is getting [...]

Friday Five : \ ˈ frī-( ˌ )dā,-dē ˈ fīv\ : On the sixth day of every week I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes and share my five and drop a little knowledge and insight for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, sometimes there isn't. Sometimes we have guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. [...]
So I've been on a Bobby Brown kick this weekend. Bringing back memories from my childhood and singing my little heart out, and then I realized, where are the hot remixes for these tracks? Something that will rebirth these timesless songs so I propose this to you readers, musicians, producers out there. Who can create the hottest mix of either or both of the two Bobby Brown hits below? Bobby Brown - Every Little Step I Take Uploaded by maeda-taison . [...]

i could really do with another summer of 1992. gcse exams finished early, by june i had three months in which to do exactly nothing. so, i sunbathed, wandered around with my friends and watched mtv. a lot. having cable was still a novelty, and watching a channel broadcast from another continent was fun. the vjs spoke in broken english, the adverts were a long way from aquafresh and hovis. i hold mtv europe squarely responsible for the success of acts such as culture beat and ace of base. there were other, weirder [...]
yes, in 1988, even north london schoolgirls could rap. yes, that is michelle gayle. back then in junior school, we could only aspire to be as cool as grange hill hip hop act 'fresh and fly'. if there is one way to describe the music of 1988 though, fresh and fly just about does it. hiphop, slick wine bar soul and the birth of new jack swing. to be honest, my school was more bros and debbie gibson in 88, but london, as usual, was infinitely cooler...

Bobby Brown - "Mambo Che Chay (Deadheat Edit)" [from The Enlightening Beam of Axonda Destiny 1972]
oh boy. i didn't say it, the guy who made this joint did. but you gotta admit, it's pretty accurate. no disrespect to those who may feel disrespected. i don't advocate beating women, at all! but can we just laugh a little bit at this? if chappelle made a joke about this, you'd laugh. admit it. and i had to warn any people dating somebody with last name brown. shout out to real mango juice for this joint, they had it first.

![Sadly, I didn't line up a flight to New York ... [It's Still Bobby's Prerogative, Btw]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1525750_lg.jpg)
Sadly, I didn't line up a flight to New York City in time to see Bobby Brown , Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant 's Heads of State show at the Nokia Theater last night, but Rich Juzwiak of the consistently awesome blog FourFour provided a full report, including two video clips. Really, by now you should have already opened the link in a new tab, but if it takes a little more to seal the deal: One of the clips is of Bobby Brown performing "Roni." I don't know what else I can [...]
![Ex-SWV Member To Appear On "Survivor," Lazy Copyeditors To Make "Weak" Jokes Up The Wazoo [She's A Survivor (no, Really)]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1458577_lg.jpg)
Those of you who think your competitive-reality shows don't have enough R & B freshness may want to start tuning into the new season of Survivor , which will feature SWV's Tamara "Taj" Johnson-George among its contestants. The all-lady trio hasn't put out a new album since its 1997 holiday tie-in A Special Christmas , but it's still touring now and then; according to Johnson-George's intro video, which is after the jump, she gave up playing a show with Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, and Ralph Tresvant in order to pursue her dream of sweating out the competition on [...]

According to this item on Clive Davis' upcoming Grammy party, which may be seeing its last gasp this year, Whitney Houston's comeback album is for real coming out in March. I guess there has to be an announcement of this ilk once a year , right? [ Page Six ]

i want jls to win the x factor. i also love alex but think she'll do well whatever happens now. i can't stand diana or eoghan! even though i'm not a fan of rock music, I liked ruth and loved her purple rain performance. but i just love jls, there are so many reasons why it would be good for them to win. they're talented, seem to be really nice people and just work really well together. they should have sung 'born to make you happy' on saturday night, by the way. god i would be such a [...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =g4uxIo4t7xM So here's the problem. Halloween is two weeks away, I'm invited to a couple of parties and am completely bereft of costume ideas. For reasons that can only be explained to my eight-year old self, I want to be a Ghostbuster. The dilemma is that I'm aware it's corny and has been done ad infinitum. On the plus side, I'm pretty sure I can get a few of my friends to join in. On the down side, no one wants to play Stantz. I thought I'd turn to the "Ghostbusters Theme" [...]
