Around here, there's never an off day, especially with the presence of Twitter, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, M.I.A., Damon Albarn, and a whole slew of others. So while you were busy opening gifts, returning said gifts, and toasting to the turn of the decade, we were doing all of it with our eyes glued to our laptops and iPhone screens. And while our loved ones may have been perplexed by our seemingly untreatable addiction to keeping up with every bit of breaking news, they'll never understand that our greatest gift is being able to keep you - our loyal readers [...]

No Doubt kicked off 2009 with the promise of a new album, but a bout of writers block led to the announcement of a tour instead. They're now finally back in the studio recording new material, so that comeback album should be with us in 2011. Earlier this month No Doubt reunited to honour Sir Paul McCartney at the 2010 Kennedy Center Honors in Washington. The Honors are awarded annually to five recipients for lifetime achievement in the performing arts. This year the honorees included Merle Haggard, Oprah Winfrey, Bill T. Jones, Jerry [...]

No Doubt's Gwen Stefani We're still (impatiently) waiting for that new No Doubt album (last we heard, they're definitely in the studio working on it) but at least the band still knows how to get together every once in a while to put on a kick-ass show.

Sir Paul McCartney was among the five artists recognized at the 33rd Annual Kennedy Center Honors, televised last night. The recent iTunes deal-maker was commended as for being, "one of the most influential and successful songwriters and musicians of all time, whose work has continuously altered both the creation and perception of music..." There to pay homage to the former Beatle (who watched from a balcony, sandwiched between Oprah and the Obamas) were Gwen Stefani and No Doubt, Idol 's newest judge Steven Tyler, Dave Grohl and Norah Jones. Jump [...]
Like Springsteen did last year, Paul McCartney made a trip to the Kennedy Center in the first week of December 2k10, where he was honored for "enriching, inspiring, and elevating the cultural vibrancy of our nation and the world." Oprah was of course there too. And much like Springsteen was serenaded by a star-studded lineup of performers that included Eddie Vedder , Sir Macca also got a royal treatment. A reunited No Doubt, Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl and songstress Norah Jones, American Idol 's Steven Tyler ( per the request of McCartney himself ), and the [...]

'Twas 'American Anthems' Week on X Factor last Saturday, a celebration of true, good ol' American talent. YEE-HAW!

As a real, live American watching, I can confirm that this is literally what life is like in America all of the time. And starting off the show-oh, wait-Oh my G-WHAT LUCK! [...]

The Cardigans - Lovefool "Reason will not reach a solution I will end up lost in confusion" Happy Election Day! My friends and I were starting to talk about the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack, and this song of coarse instantly came to mind. All though we ended up singing "Kissing You" by Des'ree, this song is a good one. Romeo & Juliet is a great film, modern interpretation of coarse, and brought both Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes lots of fame. And of coarse, this is why I don't like Claire Danes haha. [...]

A different No Doubt song came on today while I was eating at McAlister's Deli today and I remembered how good this song was and wanted to share. Basically I only like half these songs, b/c the other half are crappy radio songs. But I'll have to admit, if you're having a Halloween party tonight, all these songs should be on your playlist. So just go ahead and download the [...]
