Hard Rock International With their new exhibit "Gone Too Soon," Hard Rock International has collected artifacts from some of the most influential musicians to die before they got old. Featuring clothing, instruments, yearbooks and handwritten letters, lyrics and contracts from John Lennon , Amy Winehouse , Buddy Holly , Kurt Cobain , Jimi Hendrix and many more, it reminds fans of the humanity of the late artists, and makes one consider why we're so fascinated with their legacies. "The allure of eternal youth [...]

I've never been given to public or private displays of insane jealousy. I've always been more the type to observe silently and simmer on the inside. "Don't Mess with My Man" (to quote the title of the No. 8 hit from 2002 by Nivea and Brian and Brandon Casey from Jagged Edge)? I'd so never go there . Well, except for that one time. It was years ago in New York City, early one Saturday morning when I was at the after-hours East Village club Save the Robots with my then-boyfriend. There was another guy getting [...]

The Oscars Red Carpet is generally a snoozefest, because the pressure to look perfect is so intense that most people just play it safe. But leave it to the many musicians who have rolled through ... read more �

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

Lovers live longer, the great country duo the Bellamy Brothers sang on their 1980 No. 3 hit. So do movie stars. In music, as Chris Rock so succinctly put it when hosting the 1997 MTV Movie Awards, here today, gone today. But the biggest movie stars in any given decade are far more likely to still be movie stars a decade or two later. Consider the Best Actress nominees from the '90s. Though it's been a long way down for several of them (Geena Davis, Winona Ryder, Sharon Stone), most remain more or less [...]

"hola jeremy soy maxi encargago en tu edificio llama a la persona que alquila tu departamento por que robaron en tu departamento hoy a las 17 hs" Uh oh, here we go again again ! Another robbery in Buenos Aires, and more breaking bad news on Facebook. If you didn't hear it first, chances are you heard it first on Facebook, or Twitter, both of which do a better job of getting stories out there fast than the network news programs or any major-city daily newspaper these days. They're where the [...]

That sound you hear in the distance is some cha- ching mixed with a little super bass . Nicki Minj is the latest music star to sign with Pepsi Co. — a multi-million dollar deal, Forbes reports — and the "Starships" songstress is set to be the face of the company's new soda brand Pop. The first commercial, which was shot recently in South America, should arrive within a few months. But all this pop talk has us reminiscing about Nicki's “Give Me All Your Luvin’” pal Madonna's [...]

Ah, the music industry. It's its own worst enemy, really, isn't it? Not a week after cuddlesome RIAA overlord Cary Sherman further endeared himself to the general public with a gloriously paranoid SOPA-related ejection of the toys from his corporate pram , Sony's UK arm reminded everyone of just what loveable folk major labels are by responding to Whitney Houston's death by jacking up the price of her albums. Nice one, Sony UK. It took two days for the company to bow to general public contempt and reverse the price increase, issuing a statement to Billboard that [...]

[YOUTUBE= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =3eyOafpzHOI] Michael and Janet Jackson's nephew Austin Brown, who is Rebbie's son, is ready to unleash his solo career on us and it sounds so very good! It actually sounds like the early beats of the Jackson 5. We look forward to hearing more from him. Oh, and he's easy on the eyes.

I could talk about her beauty, her amazing voice, her career, but I do not think that would do her justice.

As you might have noticed if you follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook , we are totally devastated from the death of the legendary Whitney Houston. Not only because she made a great contribution to the world of music, but also because we are music aficionados and we care a lot about this kind of music as we believe it has, not only an artistic impact but also a cultural one all over the world. Whitney is one of the greatest forces of that change and the progress of pop - a genre we love. At any rate, we [...]

Today I received an email from my friend Lori. Subject line: "Whitney Houston is dead." "What a way to break it to me gently," was my first thought. The second: "No way." I'd just returned from a morning run that Houston's "It's Not Right but It's Okay" (the nine-minute Thunderpuss Club Mix) had helped get me through. She couldn't be dead. It must be another hoax. In recent weeks, we'd "lost" Jon Bon Jovi and Eddie Murphy. Surely there'd soon be some press release insisting that Houston was alive and well, [...]

It's been out for more than a week, but I still haven't gotten around to listening to Amy Winehouse's Lioness: Hidden Treasures , which debuted this week on Billboard's Top 200 album chart at No. 5, with 144,000 copies sold in its first week. Why the delayed reaction to "new" music from such a great singer? It's just hard for me to get into posthumous albums. I've never listened to one that impressed me much. I prefer to remember my icons the way they were, not via outtakes cobbled together for one final cash-in, or as [...]

One half of the celebrated songwriting duo Ashford and Simpson, Nick Ashford leaves behind a "solid" legacy.

A few weeks ago, I introduuced Matisse to MuuMuse , the up-and-coming dance floor vixen (and former member of sister act Brit & Alex ) responsible for the summer smash, "Better Than Her." ( LISTEN ) The singer is currently busy cooking up the contents of her debut album due out in Spring 2011, which is expected to include tracks by such production titans as Tricky Stewart , Dallas Austin and Darkchild . In between her sessions in the studio, Matisse took some time out to answer a [...]
