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

New Release Report 11/12/12: Xtina’s Lotus Flower Bomb

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. Unlike ONJ, Taylor plays guitar and writes […]

Award Show Sundays: A John & (Different) Paul Production

One thing a lot of folks forget when thinking about John Lennon is the fact that the man had a helluva sense of humor. Actually, all the Beatles did (and you thought “Yellow Submarine” was only funny on account of the drugs involved). Through the power of YouTube, I was able to unearth this clip from the 1974 Grammys, back when I was -2 1/2 years old. That’s a minus, folks. Host Andy Williams announced John and Paul Simon to […]

Hump Day Flashback: “Twist of Fate”

“Two of a Kind” was the much ballyhooed return to the cineplex for John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, a reteaming of the twosome who had made 1978’s “Grease” into a blockbuster…only without the musical numbers.

I’m sure the studio had pretty high hopes when the film was released. After all, Olivia was coming off of […]

New Release Report 9/14/10: The Floodgates Open

The last couple of weeks have been pretty quiet on the new release front. Well, folks, brace yourselves. ‘Cause there’s a TON of stuff coming out this Tuesday and for the next several Tuesdays. 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. At […]

New Release Report 9/7/10: Let Me Hear Your “Body Talk”

Yes…I am quoting the great Olivia Newton-John. This week brings a pretty eclectic crop of releases. There’s not a LOT of stuff out today, but there is a little something for everyone. IF YOU LIKE electro-pop with a heart, you’ll go for Robyn’s “Body Talk, Pt. 2”. The latest installment in the Swedish singer’s series (there’s a tongue-twister for ya) of mini albums features the ubiquitous Snoop Dogg (who gave Robyn some shine a couple years ago by featuring her […]
