John Travolta? Olivia Newton-John? What’s wrong with you people?

A ton of new releases are hitting stores today, including the latest efforts from Deftones, Soundgarden, The Weeknd, Christina Aguilera and Green Day.
Taylor Swift Said “Speak Now”! (and the Masses Obeyed)
It’s safe to say that Taylor Swift has officially made the jump from country chick with a guitar to cultural phenomenon. No matter where you live or what you do, she’s as inescapable a pop star as there is these days. In an era when female singer and oversexualized images are almost synonymous, Taylor’s a throwback to a simpler time, sort of an Olivia Newton-John (kids, look her up) for the new millennium.

Let’s jump right into it, huh? Linkin Park occasionally gets lumped in with the whole nu-metal movement, which is kinda sad, because I think Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda have more musical talent in their pinkie fingers than Fred Durst has in his whole body.
