Here's the baby girl who's got more power in her itty bitty baby finger than you will ever have in your entire life. These are some beautiful pictures; it's difficult to not feel something seeing Jay-Z and Beyonce so happy with the new addition to their family. Welcome to the internet, Blue Ivy Carter. "We welcome you to share our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives." - The Carter Family

Tonight I'm going to be a guest on Strictly Hip Hop for the first installment of a 2-part panel discussion about the greatest MCs of all time. If you're in the Baltimore area, tune in to 88.9 FM between midnight and 5am, or listen online .

For as long as there have been music awards, there have been musicians with opinions about those music awards, and the Grammys are no exception. Depending on your point of view, Arcade Fire trumping commercial heavyweights Lady Gaga, Eminem and Katy Perry for Album of the Year at last year's ceremony was either the event's salvation or the moment it jumped the shark. That polarizing victory reignited a decades-old debate about the relevance and future direction of the awards show. Grammy nominees — and Grammy wannabes — have long argued over whether [...]

The American music scene is full of fresh acts to be excited about, but we're usually a little late when it comes to the European talent. We always hear about these new artists out of England, France, Sweden, or Iceland, and by the time we're catching on in the States, we're months beyond the rest of the world. Maybe it's because we're egocentric Americans, interested only in hearing our own voices. Luckily, we've got a secret weapon. P&P contributor Constant Gardner is from London and currently living in Paris. He's European, so by nature he's inferior to Americans, but he happens [...]

When M.I.A. held up her middle finger during Madonna's Super Bowl Halftime Show last weekend, she dominated blog chatter for a few days and incited a few minor cable-TV debates. She could have to pay a fine, and she's definitely changed the narrative around her next album. But she hasn't gotten anywhere near the pantheon of music's most controversial live-TV performances; she didn't even hold that finger proudly up to the camera. If she really wanted to start riots, she should've taken note of the moments on our list below. Add your own picks to the comments section. [...]

SNL has been going strong for 37 years. Every week there's a new musical guest and a new host. As you can imagine, over that time, there have been some truly strange pairings when it comes to the two. How strange? How about Rage Against the Machine and billionaire Steve Forbes?

10. SOURCE CODE di Duncan James LEGGI LA RECENSIONE Duncan Jones - dopo lo straordinario esordio con "Moon" - rinnova quella tensione ed utilizza la fantascienza come espediente per indagare le dinamiche più oscure ed intime dell'animo umano, e con il suo ausilio elabora una grammatica introspettiva che scandaglia la psiche e concentra l'attenzione sul tema portante dell'identità. Bowie junior è abile a fondere le istanze della fantascienza classica con [...]

Portlandia is a show by, for, and about indie rock types, so it's no surprise that indie big dogs show up in sketches every so often. This past weekend's episode featured two. St. Vincent's Annie Clark, who first collaborated with Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein back when they were the online sketch duo ThunderAnt, played a model who showed off a proposed police-uniform redesign. Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock, meanwhile, played someone attempting to donate records to the local elementary school. Watch both of their sketches below. Also, we asked Fred Armisen to name his [...]

question: who should be doing the Super Bowl halftime show instead of Madonna? answer: ELTON JOHN ! why the HELL is Madonna performing at the Super Bowl? that is lame! why not a true rick icon like Eton John? he is a bigger star than that bitch. just about any band would be better than the material girl. better question: why the hell is Madonna in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? what the hell is "rock and Roll' about her? i don't love the chic's music but i can acknowledge that she has [...]

Much like a barbecue, The Big Game is a sociological event that can either rule with excessive force, or totally suck. The difference between a killer party and one that winds up being the most forgettable day of your life is all in the details. Since I have almost no experience throwing Super Bowl parties, [...]

On the heels of Jack White's new album announcement as well as the unveiling of Blunderbuss 's first single " Love Interruption ," we thought it was time to revisit the hits - not the literal ones , unfortunately - of White's wide-reaching, strange and prolific career so far. So, here's 13 of Jack White's most memorable collaborations. Sorry Bobby D . For once, you didn't make the cut. 13. Insane Clown Posse and JEFF The Brotherhood w/ Jack White Definitely one of the higher-ranking moments in Jack White's "WTF?" register, White [...]

In just three days, Super Bowl XLVI will be under way in Indianapolis. There will be touchdowns, Madonna, M.I.A., LMFAO, maybe Cee Lo Green , bets won and bets lost. There will also be flags flown and an anthem sung, as is the custom for big American sports spectacles. This, to many, is the biggest of them all, and the very worthy Kelly Clarkson will sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" , bringing her range and power to a song that many have attempted but few have mastered. There have been some incredible — and some [...]

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. For music fans, that means being serenaded by power ballads, slow jams and schmaltzy love-song dedications every time you turn on the radio. But what if Cupid's arrow whizzed straight past you this year and hit someone else? Nobody wants to hear "The Power Of Love" while heating up a TV dinner for one. Happily, we're here to provide you with a selection of vastly less-depressing alternatives. No matter if you're single by choice, brokenhearted, bitter or just resigned to living alone with 10 cats, there's a song to get you through [...]
