Time has been good to the guys of Duran Duran. Their new album, All You Need is Now, is their best album in at least a decade if not two. Looks like the members have a renewed energy, possibly thanks to producer Mark Ronson, who jumped into the wayback machine and put together the best approximation of the sound that made the boys from Birmingham superstars. The “All You Need is Now” video surfaced recently, and while there are no […]

The Viewfinder: “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele
Adele’s sophomore effort, 22, is quickly heading towards the top of my most anticipated albums of the year list, thanks to her new single “Rolling in the Deep”. I am grateful that Adele’s managers/handlers/whoever didn’t try to water her down to make her more palatable in the current pop market, although “Rolling” should be plaid loud and long on Top 40 radio. I am curious as to why she isn’t in the video clip, though. It’s a pretty…interesting piece, I […]
The Viewfinder: “The Way You Love Me” by Keri Hilson
I know there’s already been quite a bit of commentary on Keri Hilson’s new “The Way You Love Me” video, and I decided that before I looked at what other people thought of the clip, I’d watch it for myself so as to not be influenced by the opinions of the general public. After watching the video, I have several thoughts. 1) I wrote a piece a couple months back talking about the oversexualization of females in pop culture. This […]
The Viewfinder: Bruce Springsteen’s “Ain’t Good Enough for You”
BROOOOOOOOCE!! I’m not as big a Springsteen fan as, say, my friend Dave , but I’m certainly fond of the guy’s music, or at least fond enough that I’m compiling a list of my most-represented artists on iTunes and he figures pretty high on the list. He’s a fantastic songwriter, and one of the most passionate (in terms of performance and politics) artists in rock and roll history. Superfans of Bruce are diehard devoted to him, and the truth of the matter is […]
The Viewfinder: Avant’s “Kiss Goodbye”
It was pretty difficult to differentiate Avant from all of the R. Kelly knockoffs that popped up in the late Nineties and early oughts. The quality that made him stand out in my eyes wasn’t even musical-he was the first artist (and the only successful artist, if I remember correctly) signed to Magic Johnson’s brief attempt at a record label. Although the average pop music fan might not be aware of Avant’s existence, he’s put out five albums over the […]
