The Singles Bar: Justin Bieber's Die In Your Arms

The Singles Bar: Justin Bieber’s Die In Your Arms

When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait to hear the new hotness drop on the radio. I remember when Tupac Shakur was just a couple weeks out of the joint, one of the local radio stations played a very static-y portion of what would become “California Love”. It was a radio moment I’d never forget both because of how much I yearned for new Tupac music and also because of the tremendous hype job that the radio DJ did. […]

Wesley got the lightness of Michael’s delivery down pat, and the music is as breezy as […]

We Saw It! "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour"

We Saw It! “Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour”

Even if you’re a die-hard Michael Jackson fan – the kind that’s owned five copies of Thriller to replace worn-out ones or collect the bonus material on every repackaging – it can sometimes be easy to forget, even if just for a second, what it means to recognize the artistry of Jackson as a composer, arranger, singer, dancer and all-around showman par excellence of the 20th century. Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour , which played Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center on Saturday, was a reminder of […]

Friday Throwback – Soul Train Edition

Big Money wrote a fine piece about Don Cornelius earlier this week after the news of his passing hit. I can’t really add anything to it other than that to me, he was one of the most recognizable music figures when I was growing up. I honestly don’t remember who was on Solid Gold. But outside of Dick Clark, I don’t think there’s anyone else I associated with music or music television more so than Cornelius. Here’s something to chew on: MTV was a network dedicated to […]
