Hot Video Alert: John Legend featuring Ludacris - Tonight (Best You Ever Had)

Apr 14, 9:00am Music Is My King Size Bed

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 [...]

Top 10 Holiday Tracks of 2011

Dec 22, 2011, 3:23pm Consequence Of Sound

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 [...]

Down the Rabbit Hole and Back Again: An Interview with Vanessa Carlton

Nov 28, 2011, 2:00am PopMatters

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 [...]

Nov 27, 2011, 11:22am Christmas A Go Go!

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
