Well this was unexpected. Yesterday Fader premiered a new track from Chris Laughner, a.k.a. Wise Blood , with a short interview about his night as a party service driver. "I drove these girls around to parties that had hired them. They would basically flirt/strip with these gross dudes. They listened to “White Houses” like fucking 20 times throughout the night all while railing lines in the van on the way to the next spot." Sounds about right. Somehow Vanessa Cartlon (you know, of "A Thousand Miles" fame) saw [...]

I have always had major love for Vanessa Carlton . I know that the last few years seem to have been transitional for her music & career. Today she dropped a little indie-homemade video for her single, Hear The Bells . It does not sound anything like I've heard from her before. She has a total old school Kristen Hirsch vibe. I love it, not sure if others will but if you do check out her latest record, Rabbits On The Run, HERE (Amazon) or [...]
The VANESSA CARLTON has unleashed a new video but to HEAR THE BELLS you'll need a proxy IP as she not avail in the UK. Damn you Vevo. As a PS, not a formal complaint.
Australian singer/songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke has announced the U.S. release of her third album (2nd in the U.S.), Nightflight, due out June 19th. The Aussie talent first caught my attention with her unusual, yet alluring art for 2008's Curiouser. In the stunning artwork (BELOW), Miller-Heidke stares straight out, a gilded clock nestled in her coiffed hair, which is piled high in a
It would appear that singer/songwriter Vanessa Carlton is shifting musical directions on her upcoming fifth studio album. According to an article last month in The Observer, the student-run daily newspaper for Notre Dame and St. Mary's Colleges, Carlton's as-yet-untitled fifth studio album will be...GET THIS..."an electronic dance-pop record." SAY WHAT?! Now before we all get too
Sometimes, all it takes for a music video to hook me is a toned body. In the case of John Legend 's video for his Ludacris -assisted " Tonight (Best You Ever Had) ", John Legend 's toned body was a bonus. While the song starts out slow and steady, it wasn't long before the sexy beat came in and I was sold. Let me emphasize that it was absolutely the beat that sucked me in and not John Legend sitting on the bed [...]
Hey folks, have you been wondering what Gavin DeGraw has been up to lately? Well, if you have, then this probably is the announcement you've been waiting for. The Dancing With The Stars star, along with Colbie Caillat and Andy Grammer (three artists who are making their respective first appearance on this blog) will be playing the Rumsey Playfield at Central Park Summerstage on June 2, 2012 . I don't believe that the show is free, but I don't have any ticket information for you yet. If [...]
In Chicago, we have the popular and often elusive "Holiday Train", where an entire train is decked and trimmed top to bottom with Christmas decor, red & green lights, elven attendants, and an actual guy dressed as Santa riding on the outside of the train (bless him). Christmas music plays from the speakers and its filled with kids, parents, and unsuspecting commuters like myself who are just a little too claustrophobic to feel any of it's supposed cheer. This week is like the Holiday Train of Mp3s, and it's the last one for the here. Here's 10 tracks ready to replace Michael Buble [...]
Removing herself as far from the impositions and constraints of the music industry machine as possible, Carlton relocated to rural England, and settled into Peter Gabriel's Real World studio with legendary producer Steve Osborne. Vanessa Carlton has released one of the year's best records, and you probably don't even know it. Best known for her ubiquitous 2002 pop ballad "A Thousand Miles," with its feather-light piano chords and a melody so infectious it continues to be a staple of movie trailers and commercials (and was most infamously the punchline in the Wayans Brothers' gross-out hit White Chicks), Carlton [...]
Remember Vanessa ? From A Thousand Miles , and that Counting Crows-duet ? Well, she recorded a Christmas-EP. More like a Holiday or Seasonal EP, 'cause it features an acoustic version of A Thousand Miles, a rerun of Hear the Bells (a song that came out earlier this year) and a rendition of two Christmas-y tracks: John Lennon's Happy X-Mas and Do You Hear What I Hear. That latter version is the best, I think. Vanessa Carlton - Do You Hear What I Hear

Carlton is also confirmed to perform on the CBS Saturday Early [...]
