You would think it absurd that someone would get into a conflict with their dead brother's estate, wouldn't you? Well… what better family to portray the absurd than the Jacksons It looks like Janet Jackson's new disc contains a lyric line that Michael Jackson's estate finds to be too similar to a lyric line from his songs. The lyrics in question are Janet Jackson's "Don't stop 'till you get it up" vs. Michael Jackson's "Don't stop 'till you get enough". Does Joe Jackson have anything to do with this? Or is it just the estate managers that are trying to [...]
"... Teach these actors what suspense is/And right before they scream 'Action!', I make sure my boys on point like Joe Jackson ." Coming through with aptly-titled music for the holiday travel season, South Florida producer Numonics partners up with Brooklyn's Sene for "Departure Time." The rich orchestral feel sets the aural scene for Sene's smooth flow. The chune is featured on Numonics' upcoming release Being Cool Doesn't Pay The Bills , which will be presented by IM KING and releasing for the free in January 2010. [...]

After a long night of heaving drinking (I know we've all been there) you really only have two options if you can't sleep it off. You can either find a Waffle House and thrown down some grits, gravy, sausage, and strong black coffee or you can suck it up and keep drinking. While neither really works and both usually (ultimately) leave you worse off than before, Left Lane Cruiser's second album for Alive Records, All You Can Eat , is the musical equivalent of both those choices. You might be familiar with the band as having the [...]
Stage Invasions, Deadlock, Vanilla Ice, Pineapples, this week's X Factor had it all. Especially the bloody deadlock. Six weeks in, five deadlocks. It's getting bloody ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as that stupid noise when it goes to Deadlock. It's not tense the fecking fifth time! Anyhow, on with the show review. This week was Queen Week, so Brian May and Roger Taylor were celebrity mentors (yay! The mentors are back). So every song was a cover of a Queen song. Well, except one. But if Simon can bend the rules, certainly Louis can too! (Oh and I predicted [...]
You may think you have it bad with your parents, but I don't think it could get any worse than these seven. Take note, these celeb parents are just downright awful and deserve to be gagged, forever. Note: This is a Gosselin free post. 1. Ryan O'Neal Here's a real winner. After being charged for meth and passing his habit onto his son Redmond, Ryan went as far as hitting on his own daughter, Tatum, at Farrah Fawcett's funeral. Stay classy, Ryan. [...]

I n order of dead accuracy... "Barbarism Begins At Home" The Smiths Nature or nurture? I'm giving nurture the slightest edge, because that's the one we can control.

Just looking at the morning's playlist thus far from our brand new indie radio station on their first morning of broadcasting it is already being made clear that KXT isn't going to be held back by the strict formatting or directives from stuffy corporate music bigwigs in New York that hold back nearly every other over the air radio outlet in this city. Beyond just playing indie acts like Devendra Banhart, they're also playing the classics (Joe Jackson, Pixies, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison), more country-twinged fair (Langhorne Slim, Rhett Miller), and tons of locals to boot [...]
