Mini-bLISTerd: A Tribute to the Style of Nile
If you like music and you’ve been on the Internet in the past few weeks, you can’t go far without seeing Daft Punk’s name in print. The French dance duo came back in a big way this month with the release of Random Access Memories , a stirringly retro dance album and their first proper studio album in eight years (a live album and the soundtrack to TRON: Legacy have all appeared in the interim). Deftly zigging where an EDM-fueled crowd expected them to [...]

Today In Timberlake News: 20/20 Part 2 + Tour Dates Announced!
Justin Timberlake has reclaimed his throne as the biggest artist in pop music without breaking a sweat-never mind the six year layoff he took between FutureSex/LoveSounds and this year’s 20/20 Experience, which is already closing in on double-platinum status. It looks as though JT is compensating for having been absent from music for so long, though. A 20/20 sequel is already in the works and scheduled for September 30th. Interestingly, that date also comes just as the deluge of big-name [...]
