Music is power, as Richard Ashcroft once sang. It has power, too -- to rock me, to roll me, to make me love or loathe any bar or club. So why don't I loathe DJ Station in Bangkok, or pretty much every gay bar or club anywhere in the world, then? In the last eight months -- the period of time since I left Buenos Aires, home of my beloved Ambar la Fox -- I haven't stepped into a single one with a musical menu offering much besides tacky dance remixes and fluffy modern pop.

I'll be honest - the Grammys have been disappointing for a long time. While Katy Perry and Justin Beiber (really? Justin Beiber?) earning nominations for the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards makes me shake my head in complete dismay, some of the other nominees this year are really stellar. Here's some highlights of my favourite nominees [...]
The 2011 Grammy Awards nominations will be announced tomorrow night during The Grammy Nominations Concert Live telecast from L.A.'s Club Nokia, which will also feature performances by Katy Perry, Bruno Mars and the one and only Bieber. But before the National Academy Of Recording Arts And Sciences makes it official, we thought it was only fair to weigh in - who will nab a nomination? Who will be totally snubbed? And does Antoine Dodson's " Bed Intruder Song " have any chance of scoring some Grammy glory? Head below to see our predictions for [...]
Katy Perry publicizes a little-known fact about California: it's actually made of cotton candy! This post comes to you courtesy of Katy Perry. Ever since watching this interview where she explains why she decided to contribute to the already-existing musical treasure trove of pro-California songs, I've had this mixtape in mind. Moreover, since I was in New York (specifically, Park Slope!) this weekend the timing felt right. As a disclaimer I should note that this mixtape is incredibly biased, in no way comprehensive, and involves a [...]
I go to United States to make blog report. Please, come and read my blog. If it not success, I will be execute. I know it's been yonks since I've posted everybody (with the exception of my latest Panic! and EP posts); I am very sorry. But Gwen and I had such an unreal time over across the waters it was hard to find [...]
Una versione parodia di una canzone di successo di Jay-Z e Alicia Keys ha trasformato due cantanti gallesi sconosciuti in star di YouTube. La parodia di "Empire State of Mind", dal titolo "Newport (Ymerodraeth State of Mind)" ha ricevuto 200.000 visite in soli due giorni. Il video sul web riprende il rapper Alex Warren che canta il pezzo che esegue Jay-Z e la cantante Terema Wainwright che canticchia con un forte accento gallese al posto della Keys. Girato in bianco e nero come l'originale riprende monumenti e punti di riferimento della città solo che [...]

Slipped Discs continues with hip-hop royalty, a genre-busting classical quartet, the future of soul music, an Americana demigod and many more. All records that missed our top 60 list last year. Artist: Handsome Furs Album: Face Control Label: Sub Pop Image: http://www.popmatters.com/imag es/news_art/f/face-control.jpg Display as: List Display Width: 200 Handsome FursFace Control Face Control is a great sophomore album in every traditional way: it improves upon, without greatly altering, the sonic blueprint of the Handsome Furs' debut, the hooks are sharper and the band has more swagger. The very happily married duo of Dan Boeckner and Alexei Perry even [...]

Filed under: The Hit List This year has been fantastic for well-established superstars, but the year also saw more eclectic singles bubble up and find mainstream success. A number of indie bands struck a chord with weird yet accessible tunes. At the same time, several artists who have been kicking around for a while worked up songs that drew from their past but somehow managed to feel fresh. And that's what it's about, really: staying ahead of the curve while keeping in mind the past. Here's our list of the 25 best songs [...]
The video is out. This track properly caught Warner off guard when it soared to the charts when the album first dropped back in September and they had to rush to get a video out. Luckily the video itself doesn't feel rushed and Jay-Z remains the King of New York. If anyone in the UK is at home tonight -- he's on Jools Holland alongside Foo Fighters so don't miss it. We're not forgetting the original King of NY however... The Notorious B.I.G. -- I Love The Dough ft. Jay-Z [...]
Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 is unlikely to feature in many best-of-the-decade lists, although he certainly has a few other contenders in the ring for that particular competition. The hip-hop star has lifted "Empire State of Mind" from the album in an attempt to lift its profile, and the song is being promoted by a suitably New York-centric video. The black and white clip finds Jay-Z performing in a variety of places, including subway stations and outside tall buildings, but the best part comes when Alicia Keys starts hammering away on a grand [...]
Ilustración de Obey. Si en tiempos primitivos el forastero que entraba en un poblado tenía que pasar por la choza del jefe de la tribu para pedir permiso de entrada, en New York City, ciudad de ciudades, la horda de turistas e inmigrantes que entran cada día deberían de pasar por el duplex de...
