Last night's stop in St. Louis began with an overdramatic prologue featuring footage of a pre-fame Underwood planning her road trip [...]

jason mraz - i won't give up [after breaking the top 10 of the billboard charts with very little radio play and promo, it's safe to say that jason mraz has nothing to fear about coming back after such a long break. with his album not due til may (!!), it looks like jason will be doing a few mini concerts creating the kind of word of mouth love that he cultivated over the past few years. i'm totally in!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld
This is totally just British Jason Mraz BUT I LOVE IT. Stick around for the synth breakdown at the end. One concern: no Robert Pattinson/water/elephants cameo? Hear more from the band on Rdio or your cloud player of choice and look for a proper debut later this year.

The Sundance Film Festival is in full swing and the celebrities are coming in droves! Over the weekend, celebs like Jason Mraz, Wiz Khalifa and Gary Clark Jr. stopped by the Bing Bar which hosted musical performances throughout the day. First was an acoustic performance by a shaggy-looking, Jason Mraz who debuted some songs from his soon-to-be-released album.

It is with a heavy heart that the music industry, and the world, says goodbye to one of the greatest female vocalists of all time today. Etta James , the legendary soul singer most famously known for her 1960 rendition of the softly swaying love song "At Last," passed away in California on Friday (January 20) after a years-long battle with leukemia. James' impact has reverberated through nearly six decades of pop music and will continue to influence future generations of musicians, as evidenced by the umpteen covers of her hits by artists and reality TV talent competition hopefuls [...]

Heejun Han, Hallie Day - Fox The American Idol season 11 premiere continued with its second night. This time, the gang - Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson , with host Ryan Seacrest - hit Pittsburgh, PA for the very first time in their 11 season on air to gather up some talent. And they found plenty, but hardly any we were blown away by. Seriously, could this season be off to a more lackluster start? Out of the two nights, we've seen four people we really, really like. Pittsburgh brought [...]

Rihanna LMFAO better pad those speedos; Rihanna just delivered a major spanking. Two weeks after having its eight-week reign ended by LMFAO's confident anthem, "Sexy And I Know It," RiRi's "We Found Love" returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. LMFAO, meanwhile, are sexily wiggling with their former chart-topper at No. 2. Now at nine chart-topping weeks strong, "We Found Love" further solidifies itself as Rihanna's longest-running No. 1 single, smashing the seven-week reigns of her singles "Umbrella" and "Love The Way You [...]

Christmas, Three Years Ago, I started this blog. Every year of my life has been a blessing on many levels. Not so much on the blog front, but definitely on the personal front. This blog was made to help promote new music and a venting board for myself. It has done both and also been super time consuming. I love it at times and I also want to give it all up five minutes later. But I don't, not yet, tee-hee. This years Christmas Compilation - Culture PopMas 2011, is probably on my favorites from the last three years. As [...]

This year, for the first time, I decided to try to keep a running log of everything I listened to, if only so I could ctrl+f to remember if I hated some new band I was being emailed about for the third time. (Yup.) I listen to maybe 5% of what I get sent and there are plenty of bands I listened to who didn't make it into these notes, which means there are too many bands . I thought it might be worthwhile, or at least amusing, to share the list of bands that didn't make it onto [...]
