Your top national music stories for Monday, December 22, 2008: It's never too early to start talking about the '09 festival season: It looks like a reunited Phish may headline two nights at Bonnarroo this year. So you'd better start letting that beard grow out now. But, you still have a few months to go before you can stop showering. Barenaked Ladies are preparing to release a box set of their material. Sweet! Hopefully it will have both of their good songs! The RIAA has decided that suing

Your daily dose of national music news for Tuesday, January 27, 2009... The rights to a stage version of Michael Jackson's Thriller 1=28102">have been purchased by Broadway producer James Nederlander. The show, once it actually gets produced, will included songs from Jacko's Thriller and Off The Wall albums. No word yet on the inclusion of Jesus juice or climbing trees. Weezy's first rock single "Prom Queen" has indeed "leaked" to the web. I was joking when I suggested it

September 13, 2001Today In Music News: Miley Is Miffed and Jacko Is Back-o
Your daily dose of national music news for Monday, March 9, 2009...Miley Cyrus, is like, sooooo mad at being snubbed by Radiohead at the Grammys that she's going to "ruin" them. Right. I'm sure Thom Yorke and Co. not wanting to meet Miley has nothing to do with her being a big ball of suck.In case you didn't hear already, Michael Jackson is set for a 10 night residency at London's O2 Arena. Oh, and he'll probably make $400 million as he does so.
March 9, 2009Art Divaz Bring A Gallery To Cliff Cafe
An image from the Art Divaz-affiliated Caprichos Studio.No surprise that anyone who calls herself a "diva" would use the term "retail therapy" for what most of us call "shopping." The million-dollar spending sprees of notorious divas like Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson come to mind. So perhaps some wariness is understandable when talking about an event that includes the terms "retail therapy" and "Divaz"--complete with a street (and age-group marketing)-smart "Z" instead of a b

Your daily dose of national music news for Friday, May 1, 2009...Brandon Flowers doesn't understand why American audiences don't embrace his band like British audiences. Maybe it's because the English love the chip on his shoulder more than Americans?.Looks like it might be time for Michael Jackson to lay off the "Jesus juice." He's reportedly watching old concert footage of himself because he's forgotten his old dance moves. I'm going to go out on a limb and say he at least remembered how to
May 1, 2009Today In Music News: Miley Wants To Cut Loose, Jacko Needs More Practice, Lilith Fair Returns, American Idol Has A Winner
Your daily dose of national music news for Thursday, May 21, 2009... If ruining a movie you grew up loving by remaking it isn't bad enough, Miley Cyrus wants to play the role of Ariel More, the petulant and rebellious preacher's daughter, in Footloose. Michael Jackson has pushed back the start of his 50-show residency at London's O2 Arena because he needs more time to rehearse. Lilith Fair will return to the road this summer... in Europe. Kris Allen has won this years American Idol contest. In
May 21, 2009Whitt's End: 6.26.09
Whether you're at the end of your rope of merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Ventured down to the Mavs' draft last night and it was ... sad. Not the selection of Rodrigue Beaubois - though underwhleming - but more the lack of buzz. I remember when a much worse Mavs' organization/team could attract 7,500 to Reunion Arena for a draft party. Last night's official "party" consisted of probably 50 patrons and three ManiAACs at the makeshift Chili's on the corner of t
June 26, 2009Michael Jackson's Ex-Wife Lisa Marie Presley Checks In With A Pretty Fascinating Immediate Reaction To Yesterday's News...
Jackson and Presley at the 1994 MTV VMAs....and it's pretty revealing--about her relationship with Jackson, her relationship with her father and her general sentiments about fame and the celebrity spotlight. Just a real interesting read--and one just emailed to us that we haven't really seen anywhere else. (Granted, we've been busy planning our own coverage for next week's print edition.) Anyway, check it out, in full, after the jump.

June 26, 2009Today In Music News: Jackson Could Go To The Top, Big Names Headline Voodoo and Art Brut Just Doesn't Get It
Your daily dose of national music news for Monday, June 29, 2009... In what shouldn't surprise anyone, Michael Jackson could take the number one spot on the Billboard charts this week. Eminem, Flaming Lips and Jane's Addiction have been added as headliners at Voodoo Festival. Apparently Art Brut isn't big fans of Kings of Leon's or The Killers' lyrics. I guess the band can be written off as a potential supporting act, huh?
June 29, 2009Michael Jackson, That Little Rascal
The Star-Telegram has rounded up a few folks who attended The Jacksons' three-night stopover at Texas Stadium in 1984, to which I referred yesterday. Contained therein is a story that I will spend the better part of today and the next who-knows-how-long fleshing out, if only because I've finally found the premise for the book I never knew I wanted to write: The Night Michael Jackson Slept at Spanky's House. Mitch Mitchell (no, not that one) has the scant details, courtesy George "Spanky" McFarla
June 26, 2009Farewell, Farrah Fawcett
Corpus Christi native Farrah Fawcett, who died today at the age of 62 following a lengthy and very public battle with cancer, will be remembered for many things: Charlie's Angels, her hair, that pin-up poster, The Burning Bed (she could act!), her David Letterman appearance. But locals who actually saw Robert Altman's 2000 filmed-in-Dallas Dr. T and the Women will never forget how she made a splash in the fountain at NorthPark Center. (Update: Yes, sorry. And Logan's Run.)Update at 5:15 p.m.: On

Patrick Michels An old Michael Jackson poster at last week's candlelight vigil in Duncanville. I grew up with Michael Jackson. Had his Off the Wall album cover tacked - that's right, tacked - to my bedroom wall. As a senior member of the 1982 Duncanville Panthers' basketball team - district 9-5A champs, look it up - I picked "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" as our pre-game layup line music. I'll always remember where I was - Mavericks' draft, Old No. 7 Club - when I heard the news th
