Madonna , anzi M'dona come dicono gli americani o MDNA come il titolo del suo prossimo album, è tornata con un nuovo video girato penso a Cougar Town in cui la nostra ormai all’età di 53 anni più che a giocare a fare la MILF, può pretendere - e con successo, diamogliene atto - di fare la GILF (Granma I’d Like to Fuck). Il video cheerleader style fa pendant con il pezzo Give Me All Your Luvin', una canzoncina più inutile che brutta impreziosita dalla sprecatissima presenza di M.I.A. e Nicki Minaj che ricorda il suono di… Girlfriend ...

Avril Lavigne was spotted leaving Koi restaurant in West Hollywood last night. Now, what the pop punkette wore and what she ate were far less exciting to us than who the Canadian chanteuse was seen leaving with: ex-boyfriend Brody Jenner. What the hell ? When reports surfaced earlier this month that the celeb couple had called it quits, we pondered what would become of their complementary tattoos . Perhaps, the amicable breakup is still that and Brody was simply giving the X Factor performer a proper sendoff before her Black Star Japan tour or maybe there's hope yet for these two ...

As they finally prepare to release their decidedly more electronic-influenced sophomore LP, 'II,' Spinner RPM talked with the quartet about their imminent return, recording with space disco pioneer Lindstrøm and some of their ...

Warren Zevon : Knockin' on Heaven's Door [ purchase ] There are dozens of songs penned by Bob Dylan that can be considered standards, but to me no other Dylan song has the "universal appeal" or an all-encompassing feeling quite like "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." The song is originally from the 1973 soundtrack to Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid and describes that thoughts and feeling of a dying deputy. From what I can tell, it's been covered by over 400 different artists ranging from hard rockers Guns N' Roses to Canadian pop princess Avril Lavigne, to reggae, country, soul ...

I have to say that listening to depressive women whine is not my idea of a good time. Having said that, Sheryl Crow whines some bloody good tracks here. This album has some excellent material on it. It is worthy of a sincere listen and that may involve putting aside some of the ridiculous pre-conceptions people drag up and associate with certain artists. It might as well be dealt with now, but for some reason Sheryl Crow gets a bad rap. That is both unfair and mystifying. She is not a slave to the mainstream world of commercial pop, nor ...
