A Spotify playlist that’ll give you a pretty good idea of what I was jammin’ to in the year of Taylor Swift’s birth.

Guns n' Roses, "Going Down": The Singles Bar Review

Guns n’ Roses, “Going Down”: The Singles Bar Review

From the “out of nowhere” file, a new Guns n’ Roses track is now making the rounds online. With no contexts provided, it’s unclear as to whether this is a brand spankin’ new cut, an outtake from the abominable Chinese Democracy album, or some other unknown project. Truthfully, I wanted to hate “Going Down.” But lo and behold, it’s actually a decent track. Nothing groundbreaking, but a good listen, save for Axl’s “harmonies.” Current (as far as we know) bassist […]

Poptificating – 2012 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Exclusions & Guns ‘N Roses

As you’d expect on a website written by a bunch of pop culture junkies, we have some fun email exchanges on a myriad of topics. Sometimes, we’ll go back and forth on a topic for days. Some of these conversations aren’t necessary to post about, but some of them are. Welcome to “Poptificating”. This column will be a collaborative effort where many of our writers just riff on a topic. The topic for the first column is the Rock & […]

Now Presenting…Your 2012 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

Always a subject of intense discussion, the list of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees is almost more of a sore spot than the actual inductees end up being. I guess us music freaks are resigned to the fact that the eventual inductees will end up containing more than a couple of head-scratchers. I also think that many of us music fans have officially concluded that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is essentially Jann Wenner’s personal clubhouse […]

bLISTerd: Happy Anniversary MTV!! The Top 50 Videos of the Eighties

Turns out that the revolution WOULD be televised. The musical revolution, that is. On August 1st, 1981, MTV was launched. It was the first TV channel to devote itself exclusively to music videos. When it debuted (with The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star”), I don’t think anyone had the slightest idea that MTV would turn into the cultural phenomenon it became.  Within a few short years, the video age began. The era of the faceless, unphotogenic rock star was […]

Chart Stalker Extra: It Was Twenty Years Ago Today…(Almost)

When you see that there’s a Chart Stalker Extra, you know it means one thing. This week’s Billboard chart is boring. As. Shit. Really, it is. There weren’t any major new releases last week, so that means Beyonce holds on for a second frame at Number One, moving a still impressive 115,000 units. She’ll cross the Gold sales threshold next week, but her stint at the top will be over by that point. It looks like next week’s chart champ […]

Award Show Sundays: Starring Slash & Duff in “What the Bleep?”

Ah, the old days. When something as innocuous as profanity on a televised award show was enough to get people up in arms. In the days of award show publicity stunts, someone dropping an “F” bomb during an acceptance speech isn’t particularly jaw-dropping (especially with tape delays), but when Slash and Duff McKagan from Guns ‘n Roses let a few choice words slip while accepting their two  at the 1989 American Music Awards, tongues wagged. Fortunately, the censor was around […]
