So. What about Madonna ? It seems like everyone is talking about her right now. The new video, 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' was released last Friday (video below); her Super Bowl performance was on Sunday. Isn't this the point, to be talked about? While I have a tendency to agree that all press is good press, I am a little disturbed by some of what I am hearing. Maybe it's just me, but I think Madonna is being held to a different standard based on her age. [...]

Madonna was the headliner during the Super Bowl Halftime Show in Indianapolis last night. The performance included some of her greatest hits with Vogue , Like a Prayer , Music , and new song, Gimme All Of Your Luvin . Cameo's were made by LMFAO, Cee-Lo Green, Nicki Minaj, and M.I.A. The aforementioned M.I.A. stole most of the headline's from the entertaining and well-constructed show by flipping the bird and her use of the word shit, giving people with nothing better to worry about something to complain to the FCC about.

[ In this episode of The Hush Now 's Memos Tour Diary, fronter Noel Kelly offers his account through gritted teeth of a tour going haywire, with levels of strife that recall Sex Pistols' doomed January 1978 tour of the United States -- well, without the drugs, violence and John Lydon quitting at the end to form PiL. THN has been taking what has become the very long way around, touring a large swath of the U.S. en route to a hotly anticipated homecoming show Saturday at Precinct in Somerville, Mass.

Adele & Gambino would make for one of the most unlikely combos, but damn would it be some fresh.ass.shit. But until that never happens, we get a little collaboration project which takes the two, plus Chief Stockton rhymes, and is produced into one reflective, easy swaying piece. Can't wait to hear what comes next with this Gangbang of a project - no doubt an interesting concept. * Most of you probably haven't heard of Chief Stockton before, I hadn't, but even though The Gangbang put him in with two powerhouses, he seems to hold his own.

The thing about performing a concert through the rain is sometimes things, like ramps, get slippery. And sometimes those wet ramps cause R&B/pop stars to go splat. Chris Brown 's rain-soaked ramp at his concert last night (September 25) in Indianapolis was not his friend. Breezy took a nasty tumble during his closing performance of "Beautiful People." While trying to shimmy his way down the wet ramp, Breezy slipped and went SLAM right on his back. But despite the painful looking fall, Breezy got back up and continued to dance his [...]

![[Listen/Download] – Jookabox – "Drops"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3711576_lg.jpg)
Tweet Jookabox ,the infectious band out of Indianapolis, have a sound that to describe would come out somewhere along the lines of quazi-electronica meets a garage hip-hop fusion of awesomeness. All I really know is it takes less time to get someone to listen and be impressed than it does to explain why they will be. Jookabox are one of the more unique sounding bands out and they deliver live what they produce on vinyl, something not to be taken for granted. [...]
