Ogni mattina milioni di persone in tutto il mondo si svegliano (più o meno) e prendono la metropolitana per andare al lavoro magari maledicendo le ore piccole tirate le sera prima. La situazione non è delle più entusiasmanti ma, come ci insegna Michael Bublè , potrebbe essere portatrice di belle sorprese. Proprio in questi giorni infatti il crooner canadese ha deciso di stupire i newyorkesi con una performance live di cui vi abbiamo già dato notizia, ma il quasi papà non è stato certo il primo artista a cercare di allietare la giornata dei pendolari a suon di note.

It’s like the '80s, but better.

back in the good ol' 20th Century, people like me would use a fancy contraption called a cassette player to listen to music. it was the kind of device that didn't have a perfect sound or a digital screen. sometimes the sound may have even been a little wobbly and had a hisssssss. but cassettes were so much more convenient than those huge vinyl records. plus you could play them in your car! wow! the 1980's wouldn't have been the same without that cassette player in the car. sometimes, back in the 1990's, i used to buy [...]

Of course,  Say Anything  has "In Your Eyes",  Goodfellas  has "Layla",  Apocalypse Now  has "The End",  Fight Club  has "Where Is Your Mind", but a cover song in a movie is just different. A cover song in a movie elevates the drama - ascribing all kinds of meaning and sentiment to the music being played. All of a sudden this song that we're pretty sure we've heard before is chewing the scenery and the actors fade into the background. When the director has two characters listen to Sonic Youth cover The Carpenters, or opens his film with a dusty acoustic [...]

Here's the song that entered 2013 at #1. It has been sitting at #2 for the past couple of weeks while "Thrift Shop" ( which you'll remember from a couple of weeks ago ) holds the top position. This song comes from his latest album, Unorthodox Jukebox which you can purchase at Amazon or iTunes I saw Bruno Mars perform it on SNL and it was really fantastic. I think I don't give him enough credit and I'm sure that if I checked out his [...]

It's a bittersweet moment when Sting decides to hit the karaoke bar and step to the mic. It's great because oh shit, it's Sting! It's also discouraging, because if you sing karaoke after Sting, you look like an asshole in comparison. Check out footage of the 61-year-old legend taking on Fine Young Cannibals' "She Drives Me Crazy" in a bar in Malibu—he kills it, and it looks like at least one fan very much enjoyed the performance.

This is the mixtape that you want to slip under the door of that special someone, but you don't really want them to know. 1. 'No Man Will Ever Love You, Like I Do' - The Raghu Dixit Project Yeah. This is that song. It sounds all good and awesome and about love and you're thinking "Hey, I'm going to sing this to the first person I fall in love with and then they'll think I'm [...]

A noite da diversidade nos prêmios e nos shows. O Grammy Awards , em sua 55ª edição, procurou agradar todos estilos, mas ao contrário do ano passado em que trouxe um elenco de peso que contava do Paul McCartney , Bruce Springstee n, Beach Boys e tantos outros, a festa preferiu mostra que não só de medalhões se faz a música. Com nomes que buscam refrescar o cenário como Frank Ocean , Mumford & Sons , fun. , e Black Keys , a festa até pode ser um teste de resistência [...]

The 2013 Grammys are fast approaching, and the list of performers is still growing: Last night via Twitter, the awards show announced that crooner Bruno Mars and the legendary Sting will join Rihanna onstage for a special performance. So what will they do together? What will they sing?
