Words by Brendan It's (roughly) that time when we look back and analyze the past year, identify our favorite things. I say "roughly" because, well, some people do these kinds of things in December, but that seems premature. We took a little while, relaxed, let the feeling of 2012 pass through us, and now here we are. (Okay, we had a lot of work to catch up on, and were just a little lazy, too. What of it?) I [...]
"You, you stuck around, You stuck around, You stuck around, Until you got me And then, and then, you dropped me" -- from "Dull Tool" by Fiona Apple Not too long ago, over the course of listening to "Dull Tool," Fiona Apple's This Is 40 soundtrack contribution, about a half-dozen times, I zeroed in on the lyrics at 0:47 and wondered, has Apple been dating an Argentine guy? The type of dating behavior she sings about in "Dull Tool" is so Argentine, rampant among both gay and straight guys in [...]

Kanye West, Jay-Z, Drake, Miguel, Trent Reznor, Skrillex, and Usher were among the early winners at the 2013 Grammy Awards' pre-show telecast. Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch the Throne collaboration "Niggas in Paris" won both Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance. Meanwhile, Drake's Take Care won Best Rap Album. Miguel's "Adorn" won Best R&B Song and Usher's "Climax" won Best R&B Performance. Skrillex was the big winner in the Dance/Electronica category. Bangarang won Best Dance/Electronica Album and [...]
With the 55th Annual Grammy Awards just days away, we've got that yearly itch to revisit the fashions of Grammys gone by. This time, however, we're scratching it in a different way. This isn't a hottest red carpet roundup. Instead you're not going to see Jennifer Lopez in that green Versace dress, or Rihanna rocking sexy bed-head hair . No, this year what caught our attention when we took a walk down Grammy memory lane was what actually stood the test of time: the women themselves. In the gallery above, we [...]
Vicki 's Top Lists of 2012 I went into 2012 with a very ambitious goal of trying to cover more musical ground than in the year before. I set up a playlist and began adding songs from all of the new releases, in an effort to keep track of them all. By March my playlist was already over 100 songs, and undoubtedly did not encapsulate everything new. This approach allowed me to sample a lot of different songs from a variety of artists, but I never really felt that I'd absorbed anything. More importantly, [...]
Examining the statistics concerning women in professional, creative fields can be a depressing endeavor. A recent study from the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University indicated that only 9% of directors of the top 250 grossing Hollywood films in 2012 were women — a number that actually increased 4% since 2011, but still shows the scales are heavily tipped. The same study applauded the number of women working in the indie film sector, which is a trend that runs parallel with female-fronted bands or solo music acts. [...]
Cougar writer Nicole offers her top ten albums for our Top albums of 2012 feature. Divine Fits -'A Thing Called Divine Fits' Slick, straight forward rock n' roll with a vaguely new wave vibe.

Case in point, when delivering [...] The post Cougar Microbes Writers Picks 2012: Nicole appeared first on Cougar Microbes .
It hit me on Sunday evening, right at the moment that my friend introduced me to Lindsey Buckingham. Not "What an odd name for a fish!" (Nemo and The Incredible Mr. Limpet aside, I've never really understood the practice of naming fish.) Sure, that thought did cross my mind, but it was totally upstaged by another one: Is there a more underrated rock & roll multi-hyphenate than the singer-songwriter/producer/gui tarist of Fleetwood Mac for whom my friend's fish is named? When people think of Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks is generally the first bandmate who comes to mind, but [...]

Award season inches closer and closer and while we mostly focus on ceremonies like the Grammys, the Oscars also get our attention by way of the Best Original Song category. But 2013 will not be the year a rock band nabs a golden man as The Black Keys, Arcade Fire, and Mumford and Sons, among others, were snubbed in favor of songs from Skyfall and Les Miserables . Were any of our favorite bands worthy of a nomination this year? That's what we want to know from you on today's Rock it Out! Blog. Leave a comment [...]

One Oscar snub last week that didn't surprise me at all was the Academy's lack of love for This Is 40 . Although the Judd Apatow production (which was marketed as a sort of sequel to 2007's Knocked Up ) has been a modest box-office success since its December 21 release, about half of the critical masses was unimpressed. I can understand why. The movie starts off strongly with some sharp and witty observations about Viagra, erections (also a recurring theme in The Sessions , which I finally saw last night -- more on [...]

Adele 's title-track for latest Bond film Skyfall has been nominated for Best Original Song at the 2013 Academy Awards . The song beat off tough competition from the likes of Arcade Fire and Fiona Apple , who had been listed in the longlist of available choices prior to the announcement. Other nominations include 'Everybody Needs a Best Friend' from Ted , 'Suddenly' from Les Miserables, ' Before My Time' from Chasing Ice and 'Pi’s Lullaby' from Life of Pi [...]
Nyligen fick jag höra “Rikard, vad har hänt med dig? Du har blivit så smooth”. På ett musikaliskt plan då. Det stämmer nog: jag har fallit djupt ner i 90-talets triphop, dansat mer som Thom Yorke än som Håkan Hellström och lyssnat på en Usher-låt utan att hata det. Men det är ju inte bara jag. Årets popstjärna Lana Del Rey har onekligen kärat ner sig i diskreta triphopbeats och R&B har till sist börjat tilltalas med den suddiga indietermen framför sig. På det stora hela är det kanske det viktigaste som hänt 2012: att R&B har börjat [...]
