Now that we’ve all had time to recover from a week’s worth of sun damage, get our voices back, and forget about the hours spent driving through the lonely west Texas desert, it’s time to reflect upon another year of SXSW. While everyone’s experience is different under the Austin sun, these are my recollections as [...] The post SXSW Review: The Best & Worst of SXSW 2013 appeared first on Spinning Platters .

Every year, a whole lot of very, very famous people come to Austin for SXSW, mixing uneasily with the glut of unsigned bands and performing at vast, fun clusterfuck shows that usually require multiple hoop-jumps to get into. This year, the big two rumors happen to be two men who are very, very good at performing lithe, preening soul-funk: Prince and Justin Timberlake. Read More...

Adele added another award to her collection. Gotye added another minute to the 15 he already has by winning three statues . Fun. 's Nate Ruess and Frank Ocean each sounded out of key. Katy Perry 's breasts appeared to have tripled in size. Justin Timberlake returned with a standout live performance that included a full orchestra and Jay-Z . And Kelly Clarkson admitted on-air that she doesn't know who Miguel is. These were just a few of the [...]

Prior to Saturday night, My Bloody Valentine hadn't released an album in 21 years. Here's what music was like when Loveless was released way back in 1991: Tyler, the Creator was born Justin Timberlake turned 11 Jack White turned 16 Whitney Houston sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl New Kids on the Block headlined the Super Bowl Halftime show [...]

As we await Beyonce's performance at the Super Bowl Halftime show, lets take a look back at 5 of the best performances!

David Bowie. Justin Timberlake. Destiny's Child. Daft Punk. My Bloody Valentine. OutKast. Prince. The Postal Service. Depeche Mode. The Replacements. The Strokes. Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The Knife. Black Flag/FLAG. Deltron 3030. Phoenix. Vampire Weekend. The National. Broken Social Scene. Consequence of Sound wrote about all of these acts during the month of January 2013. --- Many things keep me up at night - most of which relate to my absolute fear of death. But if you're a music [...]

Talented and entertaining as he is, Justin Timberlake has never been a particularly innovative or revolutionary pop star. He's good at what he does (with excellent taste in producers -- take a bow, Timbaland), but years from now, long after that other Justin (Bieber) exits puberty, we'll all remember Justin No. 1 as the guy who once brought sexy back, but not necessarily as someone who ushered in a truly future-sex-love sound (not the way Burn -era Usher did), or the once-greatest dancer/inspiration for millions of young Americans who got talent. In other words, he's not [...]

Tracing four decades of pop music to figure out just what, exactly, makes a song timeless.

Justin "Vernon" Timberlake.​Call this the skit from this weekend's Saturday Night Live that they expected would end up on the blogs. In it, the power couple of Beyonce and Jay-Z are receiving guests t

A day after broadcasting their sold out NYC T5 show on YouTube, Sleigh Bells brought their Marshall stacks and tourist guitarist Jason Boyer to the considerably more intimate SNL studios across town. They played Reign Of Terror 's raucous first single "Comeback Kid" and No Doubt-y ballad "End Of The Line" and you can watch both below. But first, the sketch in which Jay-Z and Beyoncé (played by Jay Pharoah and host Maya Rudolph) welcome music stars like Prince, Nicki Minaj, and Taylor Swift to meet Blue Ivy; it ends with Justin Timberlake [...]

Very, very frequent Saturday Night Live host/surprise guest Justin Timberlake popped by this weekend's Maya Rudolph-hosted episode to send up awkward Grammy winner Justin Vernon of Bon Iver in a hilarious skit that featured cast portrayals of some of the biggest names in pop as they celebrated the birth of Beyonce and Jay-Z's adorable little Blue Ivy Carter . (Perhaps unexpectedly to some, Rudolph did not revive her Whitney Houston impression on the evening following the superstar's funeral ). Watch the pop-packed skit below. [...]

On February 5, Indianapolis will host Super Bowl XLVI — the 46th iteration of America's biggest game. Millions of fans will gather 'round the television set with seven-layer dip and cold drinks to watch an epic match-up of teams, the year’s funniest and most expensive commercials and most importantly — as far as we're concerned — Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show . The newly minted Interscope singer has been on her grind lately, promoting her Golden Globe-winning directorial debut W.E. , unleashing a super sexy fragrance line [...]

Tweet Listen to and download the new track from Contrakids , "All The Way Back" , which samples Justin Timberlake 's "What Goes Around... / ...Comes Around" . I love a bit of JT, me. Who doesn't? And you know what? I don't care if Timbaland has ripped every single one of his beats off from obscure Turkish folk tunes and (frankly awful) Finnish electronica. Fair play to the [...]

Every decade there is one or two male Pop/R&B vocalists that captivate the audiences of women everywhere.

Every decade there is one or two male Pop/R&B vocalists that captivate the audiences of women everywhere. A mainstream trend that started back in the day with Elvis , then  Michael Jackson , and more recently with Justin Timberlake and Usher , the artist needs to be good looking, have a killer voice, and be able to dance - and by dance I'm not talking the truffle shuffle, I'm talking about real, smooth, dancing.

British internet nerd sensation Brett Domino chats with us about fame as we feature five of his most popular music videos that show his amazing musical talent.

While they may say that baseball is the American pastime, we're going to go ahead and submit that football is the true sport of God-fearing Americans everywhere. Sure, baseball has spitting, the 7th inning stretch, and nachos, but there's something about football that transcends all that amazing stuff. It could be the increased violence or the neat-o uniforms, but regardless of all that, we'll just assume it has to do with the fact that football has more of the total entertainment package. Plus, football's the only sport that melds so [...]
