It's all pop stars and mainstreamers today. Lil Wayne, P!nk, John Mayer, Mumford & Sons ... this is a show announcement post that doesn't happen all too often. Soak it in. But let's not lie, the biggest announcement is Lil Wayne's tour, especially since we've all been wondering if he's OK since bein ... More >>

Ten of This Week's Big Show Announcements: Pink, Neil Hamburger and Tim Heidecker, Unsilent Night and More

Pink Friday, February 22, at American Airlines Center, $39.50 I get the appeal of Britney, Christina and Gaga, but Pink has always been the bad girl of the current run of massive pop singers. Nevertheless, she's carved out a niche for herself, and this show will likely sell out.See also:- Ten con ... More >>

Six Korean Pop Artists To Watch After "Gangnam Style"

Korean comedian/musician PSY's track "Gangnam Style" became a global viral hit over the summer and served as an example of the Hallyu, or Korean wave. This week, Schoolboy Records (the crew behind Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen) picked PSY up for releases in North America, the most high-profile ... More >>

Cowboys-Giants: Some Thoughts on Another Opening Night Beatd HOLY CRAP THEY WON!

What a win for the good guys. The Bi-Ringed Mouth Breather from the Bayou finally got his comeuppance, Tony Romo executed like a champ when it mattered, DeMarco Murray was DeMarco Murray, and the defense held up its end of the bargain by keeping the Giants' offense at bay much of the game. Now let ... More >>

Nicki Minaj - Verizon Theatre - 7/29/12

Nicki Minaj, 2 Chainz Verizon Theatre Sunday, July 29 I would have been happy just hanging out in the ladies room of Verizon Theatre last night, peaking over the stall, David Attenborough-style, taking notes and observing the various plumage. It's this neon cult following that's made Nicki Minaj su ... More >>

The Overserved Dips a Toe in Ku De Ta

It's over 100 degrees these days. I know because, in addition to the endless polite conversations I've had regarding the topic, you keep taking pictures of thermometers. There is no ocean breeze to save us on these plains. There is only one savior: the pool. Enter Ku De Ta, where the membership is ... More >>

Three Days at A-Kon 23: J-Pop, Boy Bands, Grown Men with Pacifiers

See also: The fans of A-Kon. I don't really know why I asked to cover A-Kon, the annual anime convention in Dallas, other than I support like-minded people coming together to share a common passion, the exception being those who burn crosses and wear red arm bands. I had no idea what to expect fro ... More >>

Look, I Like That Nicki Minaj Video For "Beez in the Trap"

I still have to think back to Nicki Minaj's verse on Kanye West's "Monster," what seems like an eternity ago, when people start breaking her down. There, in the span of one verse, were a handful of Minaj's personas, as the NYC rapper asserted herself as both masculine ("My money's so tall") and femi ... More >>

The Problem With... Nicki Minaj's "Starships"

Since the beginning of the year, Nicki Minaj has blazed across entertainment media like a supernova, all on the run up to her next album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. Along the way, she's managed to incite controversy with vindictive misogyny in "Stupid Hoe," and used religious imagery in her Grammy ... More >>

Eating Crow and Looking Back at 2011 Music

Colin Fleishacker of Colourmusic: "We Are Not to Be Confined to One Genre."

Hailing from Stillwater, Oklahoma, one might assume that Colourmusic might dabble in alt-country or Southern rock. Such couldn't be further from the truth. Instead, this intriguing five-piece plays alternative rock with the emphasis on the alternative. Calling what they do "Oklahoma Sex Rock," the ... More >>

In Defense of... Nicki Minaj's "Fly" feat. Rihanna

After releasing a few lackluster singles that relied on sampling and riding the coattails of artists with bigger stars than her own, Nicki Minaj discovered her voice in her Pink Friday album late last year. When I reviewed one of her other tracks, I remarked that Nicki will probably represent ... More >>

The Problem With.... Kreayshawn's "Gucci Gucci"

In spite of what I think of some rappers, the truth is that most of them have something to contribute to the scene. Kanye brings good production chops and high class. Eminem has tight alliterative flows. And Drake... well, he's Canadian, which has to count for something, I imagine. To this end ... More >>

Kasey Chambers On The Differences Between America and Australia, Boobs and Boots

Kasey Chambers​Kasey Chambers has certainly been an artist on the go as of late. Until earlier this week, that is. On Wednesday afternoon, while on tour with her family in tow, the Australian star's bus was on the verge of breaking down on the road somewhere between Nashville and Austin. In fact ... More >>

The Problem With... Jessie J's "Price Tag"

In the last quarter, we've seen a handful of British artists arrive at the top of American charts. We've had Adele, with her soul sound that draws in people over 30. Ellie Goulding, too, with her hipster-approved Swedish bicycle. Rapper Tinie Tempah, meanwhile, has doled out some Yeezy-tier producti ... More >>

The Problem With... Pink's "Fuckin' Perfect"

Without a doubt, all of the depression- and suicide-related songs released in recent memory have meant well. Unfortunately, the singer-as-motivational-speaker thing is a but impulsive and contrived. Has been for some time, too: The late-'80s film Heathers even lampooned the trope with a hokey anti-s ... More >>
