Election Season is right around the corner, and it's a time when all Americans ask "Wait, what's the electoral college again?" and head to the voting booths in support of their candidate of choice. This year, with the amount of key issues at play, the upcoming decision is an important one, and has musical artists from all backgrounds coming together to encourage citizens to hit the polls. (If you missed Miley Cyrus and friends in a recent Rock the Vote video , it's well worth a watch.) But while many artists steer [...]

We always thought the Lannisters would be Romney supporters... Nerds for Obama ! Neil Young , who is now on Twitter and recently played Central Park , thinks MP3s sound like shit and is creating a new 24-bit digital audio service called Pono that he says sounds better. Neil might not approve but you can stream every single A389 release ever in its entirety [...]

Barack and Michelle Obama recently stopped by The View and last night Conan O'Brien had plenty to ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ watch-conan-take-on-obamas-rec ent-view-apperance/69706/

Old Lady Gaga went on a political rant about our "black Muslim" president, Obama. If you're a nitwit celeb talking to your young(ish) fans about politics you should at least get your facts somewhat straight. I mean, this is exactly the kind of bullshit that we don't need. There's enough horseshit lies out there. Fucking Madonna, just shut up already. For the record, I am not an Obama supporter

Avrà anche deluso molti Barack Obama (anche noi per molti aspetti vedi l'incapacità di riformare i pescecani di Wall Street ) ma comunque l'idea che dopo l'incubo Bush i Repubblicani possano tornare alla Casa Bianca inquieta molti anche fra i musicisti americani. Fra questi anche Eddie Vedder dei Peal Jam che ha raccolto 1.7 milioni di dollari in favore della campagna per rieleggere Barack Obama. Vedder si è esibito in uno show durante il quale ha proposto due brani dei [...]

Met de formele aanstelling van Romney en Obama als de presidentskandidaten van respectievelijk de Republikeinse en Democratische partij is de tweestrijd in aanloop naar de Amerikaanse verkiezingen in November dan echt losgebarsten. Er is geen stoeltje zo felbegeerd als die ene in het Oval Office vanwege de macht, de roem en - laten we eerlijk zijn - de garantie op bijzondere avontuurtjes. Obama wil zijn klus afmaken, Romney roept mensen op dat vooral niet toe te laten. En Obama op zijn beurt tracht de overgrote groep minder bedeelden in Amerika voor zich te winnen met de belofte dat hij ze [...]

One hundred high-roller guests attended a fundraiser for President Barack Obama Tuesday night (September 19) hosted by Jay-Z and Beyonce . The event was held at Jay's 40/40 Club in Manhattan, and at $40,000 per ticket, it raised $4 million for the president's coffers. Beyonce told the attendees that she and her husband "believe in [Obama's] vision" and the president spoke briefly, thanking "J and B" for their friendship, and lavishing praise on Bey. "Beyonce couldn’t be a better role [...]

Katy Perry will perform at President Obama 's "30 Days To Victory" concert and fundraiser on October 7 in Los Angeles, according to The Hollywood Reporter . Several artists are expected to perform, but Perry is the only one whose involvement has been made public thus far. The concert will be followed by a dinner with the president, and tickets for that portion of the benefit will cost $25,000 per person. We're not sure how the dessert menu is shaping up for the meal, but we know someone who's a real [...]

NYC's Corporal , who are fronted by actor Michael Shannon, will join Less the Band, who are unconventionally frontman-less, for a show at Le Poisson Rouge on September 30th. The frantic punk-folk of Shannon's band will create an intriguing contrast with Less the Band's melodic brand of indie rock. Shannon, who will play General freaking Zod in the upcoming Superman reboot "Man of Steel," will likely intertwine Corporal's songs with support for another four years of Barack Obama, especially with the election right around the corner. Listen to one of Corporal's Obama supporting songs, logically titled "Obama 1," [...]

Naturally our readers gave pieces of their music-happy minds on all of these pop shenanigans.  Catch what they [...]

In the midst of the end of Chicago's deadly summer, a day after Chicago Public Schools began and 18 year old rapper was killed, Chief Keef took to Twitter about 15 minutes ago saying Lupe Fiasco was "a hoe ass nigga And wen I see him I'ma smack him like da lil bitch he is #3003. Lupe responded referring presumably too the life Keef & many Chicago youth lead, stating he's Seen this in as many ways as there can be, and it just takes and takes from you  (Tweet has since been deleted).  This is definitely a conversation that [...]

The National at Living History Farms 9/21/2012 (via@ antoniorodrigueziv ) Lines stretched for blocks as Iowans lined up to see President Barack Obama at a campaign rally at Living History Farms in Urbandale, his seventh trip to the all-important swing state this year. Some Iowans are bound to be disappointed because space is limited to the narrow main street at the outdoor museum. The gated venue was nearly full shortly before noon and hundreds were still waiting to get in. The crowd is being routed [...]

We hear a lot about liberal musicians rallying for Obama or Occupying Wall Street. But with the exception of country music and Kid Rock, we don't see too many long-haired, leather-clad rockers teeing off at the country club to fight for the status quo. As far as the GOP is concerned, popular music, from protest songs to punk rock, may simply seem to be another arm of the massive global liberal media conspiracy. While we appreciate this common-sense takedown of the bafflingly literal manner in which the media has interpreted Nicki Minaj's recent lyrical endorsement of Mitt Romney, [...]

Now that most of us are familiar with logos both candidates are represented by for this U.S. presidential race in November, I wanted to take a second just to compare/discuss a few choices that were made. Below are links to their shops where a large collection of apparel, stickers, signs, etc. are available: Barack Obama Mitt Romney ** Please note, my views are strictly geared towards reviewing the merch/branding and nothing of the election, we are a design site and this post is [...]

Dave Mustaine might seem like a gun-cocked nutcase, but, hey, you wouldn't be accusing Obama of the Aurora shootings without evidence , would you? “Back in my country, my president is trying to pass a gun ban, so he's staging all of these murders,” Mustaine told the crowd [at a Megadeath gig in Singapore]. “Like the 'Fast And Furious' thing down at the border and Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there and now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple." "I don't know where I'm going to live if America keeps going [...]

Is President Obama staging acts of gun violence in America? Before I even allow that to sit as a rhetorical question, I’m going to answer ‘no’ for everyone. However, fans of classic metal band Megadeth might answer the same question with ‘possibly’ or even ‘yes’. Why? Well, at a recent concert in Singapore [...]
