The Viewfinder: Lionel Richie (and Shania Twain) Reprise “Endless Love”
An album of Lionel Richie covering his song with a gaggle of country artists might be a little on the lazy side, but from a marketing standpoint, it’s an excellent idea…and something Lionel should have done ten years ago. Better late than never, I suppose. Lionel’s southern roots lend themselves well to country…I mean, how much more ‘Bama can you get than Tuskegee, right? Of course, Lionel’s dipped his pinky toe in that genre many times over the years. From […]

Pixel Perfect: New Technology Allows for Capturing Performances in Video Games
Unlike literature or film, video games did not set off to tell a story during it’s humble beginnings. Attempting to virtually create recreational activities like pinball, video games were simplistic algorithms designed to “blip” and “bloop” a square object back and forth between paddles.

The Singles Bar: Bobby Womack’s “Please Forgive My Heart”
Bruce Springsteen sings “we take care of our own,” but it’s obvious that when he does so, he’s not talking about young soul musicians in reference to older soul musicians. It’s not often that you hear today’s soul and hip-hop musicians (with the exception of someone like Questlove) lending a hand to the older generation to bring the music that inspired them to perform to a younger generation. It’s often left to rock musicians to bring artists like Solomon Burke […]

Mere weeks after the announcement of John Mayer’s fifth album, Born and Raised, the release of new single “ Shadow Days ” and the announcement of his first tour in two years, the singer/songwriter/guitarist announced he will be sidelined by health problems yet again. Mayer, whose battle with a granuloma on his vocal cords forced cancellation of his few shows last year and delayed the completion of Born and Raised, announced in a Tumblr post Friday that the granuloma – “one giant pain in the ass” that […]
