Today I've got men on my mind. Now get yours out of the gutter. All of them are fully clothed -- and singing. Nearly three months ago, I wrote a post titled "Five Great Songs By Five Great Female Singers That Should Have Gone to No. 1," and doesn't it figure? Musically speaking, I'm always dwelling on the creative and performing virtues of the fairer sex. I guess I'm gay like that. There must be some microchip hidden in the brains of gay men that makes us respond more readily to women -- female pop stars, actresses, style [...]
Fridays 'round these parts typically see gobs of remixes. Today didn't seem right posting a "Friday Remixes," partly due to the fact that this entire weekend most people will be celebrating Christmas with family, friends and loved ones. I plan on doing the bulk of my shopping today and my procrastinating has taken me as far out as possible. No matter how hard I try to fight it every year, I fall into the same trap. Saturday will be full of football from morning till nighttime. I'm in the championship game of my fantasy league, so I'll be [...]
As it turns out, those pesky 2011 rumors that music is dead were greatly exaggerated after all.
Check out the top 50 cover songs of 2011! Read our reviews and download every one.
Photos by G. 2011 was a better than normal year for good tunes. In no particular order, here's a list of 21 songs that made my world a lot groovier. I don't think that all of the tracks were released as singles, and if they were, many of these gems were probably not played in a mainstream way (like the radio). That's sad, especially when over-produced pop songs that sound good on ONE LISTEN ONLY are played ad nauseum to the masses while they open their mouths wide for something to suck on. [...]
Photos by G. Chris Glover of Penguin Prison "Penguin Prison" by Penguin Prison . While most of the albums on this list are in no particular order, my favorite record of the year is definitely the self-titled album "Penguin Prison." In early 2010, I caught Penguin Prison in concert as an opening act and before the set was over, I became an instant fan. Lead singer and PP brainchild Chris Glover is so talented. Every song on his debut record could (and should) be [...]
Lindsey Buckingham's Small Machine is more than a mini-Mac attack.
Filed under: News Photo by Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images "The past is like a handful of dust, it filters through your fingers disappearing little by little." So goes Stevie Nicks ' narration to the video for Katy Perry 's latest single 'The One That Got Away.' If that sounds depressing, that's because it is -- most especially for Nicks herself. According to Jam, t he singer broke down in tears because the song [...]
Photos by G. Lindsey Buckingham at the 92Y in New York Some people will always remember the 5th of November. I'll always remember the 4th of November, 2011. It's the day that I met one of my musical gods - Lindsey Buckingham. The 92Y in New York presented an hour and a half program called "A Conversation with Lindsey Buckingham," and it was a die-hard fan's dream come true. He was interviewed by Anthony DeCurtis, who is obviously a fan of Lindsey's music, so the discussion [...]

Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Famer Lindsey Buckingham just may be one of the very few Americans who most changed the face of British Rock. As the male lead singer for Fleetwood Mac , this singer/songwriter/guitarist/pr oducer took an underground blues band and helped make it into one of the most respected and best-selling bands in the universe. His voice…his intricate guitar playing…his compositional prowess, they're all instantly recognizable. And he's still going strong. On November 1, 2011, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release a DVD of [...]

Has the Fleetwood Mac guitarist become so prolific we're starting to take him for granted? Most of Lindsey Buckingham's career has been a study in contradiction. He was the eccentric, anti-social studio rat who was fascinated by Talking Heads and the Clash. Yet he was the featured guitarist in one of the most mainstream, popular bands in the world. When Buckingham tried to inject his restlessness into Fleetwood Mac on Tusk , the result was a million-selling album that was deemed a commercial failure and brought on the wrath of...
Sounding reflective and emotionally raw, Lindsey Buckingham takes a bigger turn toward folk music on his latest solo effort.The album leads off with its strongest song, the title track, which is a gorgeous showcase for Buckingham's signature voice and virtuoso guitar style. Fast picking and a mournful wail blend together into a song as powerful as anything he's sung in the past.Though

Photo by G. Lindsey Buckingham Happy birthday to one of my personal gods - Lindsey Buckingham. If you like his music with Fleetwood Mac, I recommend you check out his last 3 solo albums - "Under The Skin," "Gift of Screws" and "Seeds We Sow." The songs on these albums all fit together and they are a triple album, if you will, of perfection. Lindsey is an amazing performer who sounds great and will play you guitar solos that are sure to make your mouth drop [...]
Photos by G. Lindsey Buckingham If you were not at Lindsey Buckingham 's show at Town Hall in New York on September 27, 2011, you missed something special. Lindsey Buckingham seems to get better with age as he still makes amazing music and when he performs live, he sets the bar a little higher for the definition of the word "amazing." In his nearly 2 hour set, Lindsey Buckingham ran the gamut of his career playing songs from his early days in Fleetwood Mac to his recent album [...]
