Your daily dose of national music news for Tuesday, June 2, 2009... Pink thinks Kanye West is a "waste of skin" because he likes fur. Along with independent music retailers, Pearl Jam is going to let Target be the official point-of-purchase for its upcoming release. Way to fight the man, boys. Throw away any notion you had of drugs killing Jimi Hendrix: According to his former roadie, it was his manager that did it.

What I gleaned amidst the crooners and cleavage:*Former Stone Temple Pilots' front man Scott Wieland is (still) on something. *Paris Hilton is (still) annoying. *Mariah Carey is (still) hot. *Jamie Foxx is cocky with a capital 'K'. *Kanye West wants to be Elvis. Making the feat even more unlikely, he's apparently he's going to try it while dressed like a rodeo clown. - Richie Whitt
November 24, 2008MTV Names New Amerykah The 9th Best Disc Of '08`
Considering that I've only seen eight of the 25 artists mentioned in MTV's year-end best albums list (Kanye West, Lil Wayne, No Age, Death Cab, Vampire Weekend, Panic At The Disco, MGMT, Coldplay) actually have their viddeos played on MTV or sister network VH1, you've gotta imagine that, for 17 of the artists being named on this list--including the D's own Erykah Badu, who's just raking in the accolades this December--their inclusion on this list comes as a little bittersweet, no?Oh well: Intern
December 17, 2008Top Ten Hip-Hop Albums Of 2008
A couple of weeks ago, an expert on the Harry Potter series told an audience of high school kids how lucky they were to have this Big Shared Experience--these seven books and 41,000 words in common. What does Harry Potter have to do with hip-hop in 2008? In an age when many year-end lists should be subtitled "Ten More Albums You've Never Heard of and Will Never, Ever Hear," plenty. Technology has made the world smaller, and in response, we've found smaller and smaller worlds to inhabit. Thin
December 19, 2008Is New Amerykah Pt. 1 The 'Token Urban Album' Of '08?
Speaking of Erykah Badu: Much like we're doing in this upcoming week's paper, Stereogum today asked some of its favorite artists of '08 to name some of their favorite artists, albums, songs, etc. of 2008, and right at the top of the list, Of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes names New Amerykah Pt. 1 as one of his tops in the year that was. Yep, that's yet another namedrop for Badu, who's having herself a fine end-of-year when it comes to being on lists and whatnot. But down in the comments of that
December 29, 2008Today In Music News: Kanye's Upset, Katy Perry's Undressed and DMX Is Sentenced.
Your daily dose of national music news for the last day of 2008... It seems that all it takes to ruin Kanye West's vacation is to write something untrue about him. There was talk of him chanting to "improve his singing voice" and he read it...and it ruined his va-cay. Usually it just takes losing something to ruin my vacation. She may have kissed a girl and liked it, but Katy Perry was photographed in a bikini and I like it. Hey, I'm sucker for two-hit wonders who h
December 31, 2008Today In Music News: 50 Cent Mocks Kanye, Daft Punk Loves Obama
Your daily dose of national hip-hop news for Wednesday, January 21, 2009... Hip-hop beefs are nothing new--they've been around for years. But it seems that 50 Cent has now taken to creating controversies as his promotional tool. He still seems to think that Kanye West is his adversary for some reason, and recently mocked the producer/rapper/singer in concert at his show in Albany. Is that desperation I detect Fitty? It's so 2007. Hey, did you hear anything about a new President yes
January 21, 2009Today In Music News: Jane's Addiction's Legit Reunion, Kanye West's Legit Fashion Sense
Your daily dose of national music news for Wednesday, February 18, 2009... It's starting to look like the recently announced Jane's Addiction reunion tour will turn out to be a full-on reunion: Founding bassist Eric Avery hasn't played with the band since 1991, nixing all "reunion" tours, and only recently playing with Jane's for the NME awards and a few club shows. However, all four founding members played a warm-up show at Echoplex in L.A. this past weekend. I'm sure they will finish t

Your daily dose of national music news for Tuesday, April 7, 2009... Eminem stars in a video pick-me-up for his beloved Detroit. Kanye West has his own Nike shoe: Air Yeezy I shit you not, that is what they are called. It's the first time a major musical artist has a shoe that is completely their design. However, I think it's interesting that Kanye's shoes look a lot like the pair Marty McFly donned in Back To The Future 2... Simon and Garfunkel have confirmed that they are going to go on tou

Your daily dose of national music news for Thursday, May 14, 2009... Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament and another employee of the band were attacked outside of a recording studio in Atlanta. I guess this ruins their chances of ever recording in Detroit. When Kanye blogs, people listen. After railing against Kanye imposters on Twitter (twimposters?) on his blog, the micro-blogging network swooped into action to take down fake accounts. Idris Elba, better known as The Wire's Stringer Bell, is putting

Your daily dose of national music news for Thursday, June 11, 2009... Unlike everyone else who saw him run into a stage prop at the Tony Awards, Bret Michaels is not happy about what happened--and he feels that the award show and host Neil Patrick Harris didn't take his injury seriously. Hard to feel bad for a guy who picks up skanks on national TV, though... Axl Rose fired and rehired his manager three times last month. It seems he wasn't happy with his manager was trying to "re-prom

Your daily dose of national music news for Monday, August 3, 2009... Dave Grohl will had an alley named after him in the city of his birth Warren, OH. Turns out Kanye doesn't think he's the next "King of Pop." But it's easy to see why it's believable; it just sounds like something he would say. Courtney Love freaked out about Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen for some reason in a blog rant. It seems like Eminem may have the thinnest skin in music: The diss track he released that's ai

No need to use up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A-select-start to acquire it. Wow... could Kanye actually be sorry about the Taylor Swift shit-storm he stirred up? He blogged his apology twice, apologized on Leno's new show and he actually called Swift after her appearance on The View. Maybe he felt b
