Before we go full-speed ahead into the 55th Annual Grammy Awards weekend, we're taking one last look back at the music awards show. This time, we're celebrating the men who helped make the Grammys golden. Now, this is not one big Grammy beefcake roundup (though many of the fellas featured here are quite handsome). Instead, we're focusing on the classic moments (like when Michael Jackson took Brooke Shields and Emmanuel Lewis as his guests) and perhaps long forgotten snapshots (like Maroon 5 wearing name tags on the red carpet the night they would win [...]
The chart topping mega hit 'Rest Of My Life' gets its dance music remixes from three big producers. Easily one of the biggest hits of 2013, combining the production of David Guetta with Usher's vocals can only lead to success. The duo already had combined to make the hit track 'Without You' early last year, and took their production team to the next level for 'Rest Of My Life'. Just grab some big name dance producers, and you will have a few remixes that will sure gather up competition on the dance floor. Nicky [...]

Yesterday during Bingo Night at the Greyhound Hotel in Melbourne, I had an interesting conversation with a friend about a topic I don't believe I'd ever touched on: What's a little racial humor among friends? Not so much the use of "nigger" and "nigga" as terms of endearment -- I'd already gone there several times before. (And once more: Considering the loaded meaning of the words coming from a white person, it's a privilege which I believe should be reserved for black people only, unless the white people happen to be [...]

To no surprise, David Guetta has once again mastered the airwaves with his production for Ludacris and Usher, “Rest Of My Life.” The pop tune is no longer limited to the subtle touches of electronic energy, as Nicky Romero, Hard Rock Sofa, and Daddy’s Groove have taken their turns for the remix package. Nicky picks up where David left off, giving the track a boost behind the chords, while Hard Rock Sofa make the vocals their own around gritty synth layers. Daddy's Groove also takes “Rest Of My Life” a step further from the radio, injecting [...]
No. 1 on my playlist of the month is the glorious, sun-kissed club-pop of Katy Perry-aping Geordies MAUSI . Their latest single 'MOVE' is a perfect sample of ebullient, bouncing summer pop, a bit like 'Hot N Cold' if less, you know, 'Hot N Cold'. Charged forward by the wonderful vocal pairing of siblings Daisy and Thomas Finetto, the almost Balearic outcome sounds like that twisted Penguin Prison/Perry collab that will never, ever happen: euphoric, energetic and bolstered with masses of unreserved enjoyment. Out on Loose Lips Records, below is its video in which the [...]

We've been enthusiastically touting the music of Rodriguez since his lost classic debut Cold Fact was re-released by Light In The Attic back in 2008. Last year, the singer-songwriter's remarkable story got a major boost thanks to the fantastic Oscar-nominated documentary Searching for Sugar Man , which has earned heaps of accolades and has again revived interest in not only his recordings but also as a live act. Yesterday, Rolling Stone broke the news that the now 70-year-old Rodriguez will likely head into the studio for the first time [...]
While Dirty Projectors where in Aussieland last week, they stopped by Triple J and recorded a cover of Usher’s instant classic “Climax”. This re-do features gorgeous layered melodies with a simple backbeat that provide multiple eargasms. In the rawest of settings, the band proves yet again how magnificent they can be.
The Dirty Projectors dip into some R&B with Usher's "Climax"
Who'd ever have thought that we'd see Dirty Projectors covering Usher ? We didn't, but hey ho, here it is. The Dave Longstreth-led take on the tea-cosy wearer 's comeback track, 'Climax', is above.

Though I don’t believe I have written about them before I am a big fan of Dirty Projectors, especially since the release of their latest album 'Swing Lo Magellan' . Now the Dirty Projectors have done something that made me love them more, they covered a R&B song brilliantly. If you’re reading the blog more often you know I’m into R&B, and mainly the somewhat indie or underground R&B, so a cover of Usher’s Climax by this NY-based indie act for Triple J radio’s 'Like A Version' is [...]
