Lollapalooza Announces 2012 Lineup
In the twenty-plus years since it’s inception, Lollapalooza has transformed from a traveling road show to a 3-day extravaganza in Chicago. This year’s lineup features an appealing mix of veterans (many returning for their second or third tour of duty at Lolla) and newcomers, with dance music (which has suddenly become all the rage) represented more strongly than ever. Headliners include the reconstituted Black Sabbath, the newly solo Jack White, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers the Red Hot Chili […]

If you and I have had any discussion about the music of the previous decade, I’ve probably made it painfully aware that I’m a huge fan of Jack White.

First things first. “Glee: The Music: Showstoppers” bows atop the Billboard 200 this week, with 136,000 copies sold. It’s the second chart-topper to boast the “Glee” brand in the past 6 weeks. The hit FOX show is now a true phenomenon, with no end in sight. A distant second goes to the reissue of the Rolling Stones’ 39-year old classic “Exile […]
