Music tastemakers of a certain vintage still go crazy over The Village Voice‘s annual Pazz & Jop poll. The poll asks a who’s who of music critics for their favorites in music over the previous year. The results for 2010 were published recently, and Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was voted the best album of 2010 by a landslide, receiving almost double the votes of the runner-up, LCD Soundsystem’s This is Happening. Yeezy then ran roughshod over the […]

Chart Stalker 11/24/10: Just Like the Old Days!!
Thanks to a very healthy slate of new releases and the Beatles’ debut on iTunes, this week’s Billboard chart almost looks like one from 5 or 6 years ago when more people were buying records and also bodes well for a fairly successful holiday season. Nine albums scan over 100,000 copies this week (actually, eight of the nine scan over 150,000). This number includes seven debuts, but…this week’s chart-topper is actually a holdover. Susan Boyle actually INCREASES her first week […]
New Release Report 11/9/10: Cee-Lo, Kid Cudi, SuBo and More!
A couple of titles that have had their release dates shuffled around more than a deck of cards finally see the light today, led by Cee-Lo Green’s “The Lady Killa”. The long-awaited third solo effort from the Goodie Mob/Gnarls Barkley member has received some pretty solid reviews so far. If it’s anything like first single “Fuck You” or his cover of Band of Horses’ “No One’s Gonna Love You”, then I’m all over this one. Cee-Lo hasn’t disappointed me yet. […]
Hear Here! Cee-Lo Green Covers Kings of Leon’s “Radioactive”
Cee-Lo covering Southern rock is something that should happen more often. First, the singer/rapper covered Band of Horses’ “No One’s Gonna Love You”. The bearded troubadours then returned the favor by taking on ‘Lo’s “Georgia”. Now, on the eve of his third solo release “The Lady Killer”, Cee-Lo has blessed us with his version of Kings of Leon’s current smash single “Radioactive”. It’s not as good as the original, which I’m still ridiculously in love with, but the man more […]
Heading Down to “Georgia” with Band of Horses
Band of Horses just might be my favorite discovery of 2010. The Seattle band’s latest album, “Infinite Arms”, fuses Southern rock with sweeping orchestration and harmonies so tight they make the hair on my (not-exactly-infinite) arms stand up. I got the chance to catch them at an intimate record store performance two days before “Arms”, and I was blown away. BoH and Cee-Lo have been doing the Mutual Admiration Society thing for a couple of months now. The former Gnarls […]
Fuck!! Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You” Video is So Fuckin’ Good!!
I assume that if you’re easily offended by so-called “dirty” words, then you’re not a regular here anyway. Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You” song has blown the hell up over the internets, going viral within minutes of it popping up on the airwaves. Despite the fact that some tricky editing is gonna have to take place in order to make this song radio friendly, it’s already created a helluva lot of awareness for Lo’s upcoming “Lady Killer” album, which is scheduled to […]
