Top 10 Winter Music Videos

The Last Shadow Puppets "The Age Of The Understatement"
Filed under: The Hit List Wintertime means cold weather and heavy snowfall for those of us in non-tropical climes, which is a mixed blessing. Sure, there's snowboarding and snowmen, but how does that help when your car is stuck in a snowdrift? More than a few artists have mined the rich metaphoric potential of winter in music videos, usually to melancholy and SAD effect (that's Seasonal Affective Disorder, by the way). Baby, it's cold outside, so read on for some frosty encouragement while you thaw out your fingers with a mug [...]

Kanye West Finally Breaks Caps-Lock Button, Is Sleeping in Studio

Kanye West Finally Breaks Caps-Lock Button, Is Sleeping in Studio Apparently, somebody claimed that Kanye West lost his shit on a plane from Los Angeles to New York because he was offered a seat in Business Class. We say "apparently" because we don't spend every moment of our day chasing down the seemingly endless flow of rumors concerning Mr. West and his (alleged) exploits. You know who does, though? Kanye West! So he took to his MacBook Air and just about headbutted his keyboard, giving us his second bonkers blog-rant in less than a month (his last one , which included the eternally quotable exclamation [...]

Music Appreciation: Ian Brown

Music Appreciation: Ian Brown Filed under: Music Appreciation Since moving on from the Stone Roses in the 1990s, frontman Ian Brown has gone in several unexpected directions with his solo career. And while hip-hop isn't one of them, the British rocker has voiced a certain admiration for the vocal stylings of Kanye West . "All the best rappers always sound like they're threatening to burst into song," he offers. "But Kanye actually did it." Next

1985 Luminaries, Meet Your Replacements: We Are the World, Reloaded

1985 Luminaries, Meet Your Replacements: We Are the World, Reloaded A while back we mentioned that a remake of 1985's charity single "We Are the World" was in the works as a benefit for the crisis in Haiti. Well, turns out they didn't drop the ball. Fuss over the inadequacies of today's pop crop all you want, but "We Are the World 20103 is no less a star-confettied affair than the original. More importantly, it's no less likely to attract massive attention (read: what really matters) than the original. Which was, no doubt, exactly the effect that project co-organizers Lionel Richie and producer Quincey Jones were [...]

The 2010 Grammys: Because They're Right, We're All Fans

So unfortunately due to obligations rooted in my real life, I wasn't able to watch last night's Grammy awards and snark them in real time as I have in years past. But thanks to some lovely twitter followers, I was able to keep track of the goings-on in almost real time. If you follow me on the aforementioned twitter account, then you know that I tried to predict the winners of some of the major categories, based on who was deserving of the awards and on the trends from recent Grammy award ceremonies. Well, it appears that Grammy [...]

"Something's Missing…"

"Something's Missing…" Truth be told, I'm still waiting on the day the "powers that be" let Jeezy perform at the Grammy's . Last night I found myself watching more of the awards show than I intended. The Pro Bowl had not even the slightest hint of competition and The Cleveland Show only lasted 30 minutes, so yeah, CBS suckered me in. Not to be confused with an actual awards show critic, I'm not commenting on the quality of the show ( David was right ) or who had the best ensemble as [...]

Lil Wayne x Drake x Eminem Uncensored Grammy Performance

Eminem Lil Wayne & Drake - Drop The World-Forever Uncensored
I never made it 'til this performance last night as I nodded off when Slash entered the stage during the Jamie Foxx and T-Pain performance. 'Drop This World' is easily the best track off "Rebirth" mostly thanks to the great production by Hit-Boy & Chase N. Cashe (will unleash my review of the album in a few hours, stay tuned). However, here's the uncensored version of the Lil Wayne x Eminem x Drake performance for those who also missed it: As an extra treat, received this remix of Drake's 'Forever' some days ago [...]
