Dude. I was so excited to hear about the new Metallica / Lou Reed collaboration (Lulu)! But then, I heard the new Metallica / Lou Reed collaboration and I was much less excited. Thankfully, I was able to wash my ears out with Beyond Magnetic.

Welcome to the Sunday Scoop, wherein we share with you the whos and whats of the most recent Friday Fiver! Loved the comments on these – the more frequently we do this, the more I begin to predict what our “regulars” will and won’t like, and I’ll admit to sometimes even throwing one in just…
Who could ever forget the iconic lyrics to the Kenny Loggins classic, Footloose? “I been workin’ so hard, Keep punching my card, Eight hours, for what? Oh, tell me what I got.” Now, imagine those words sung by country music artist, Blake Shelton. Sounds interesting, huh? It gets better. Next, imagine a young Taylor Swift-esque…
Anyone who knows me knows that I just don’t do pop music. Well, that’s sort of a lie. I actually do like a lot of songs that end up on the hot-hits-type stations, but the majority of them are by rock bands and musicians. But when the opportunity to view a tour diary webisode by…
Well, it’s here…the long awaited new song from Noel Gallagher. (You remember him, right? The brother from the now defunct British band Oasis that wasn’t Liam?) Y’see, the Gallagher boys had a falling out, with smashed guitars and everything, which effectively put the kibosh on the band continuing together. So, Liam went off with some…
Pre-release CD Review: 2Cellos Confession: I have a strong, natural affinity for stringed instruments played with bows by attractive men. Oh, sure – I love guitars, banjos, ukuleles and the occasional upright bass…but give me a passionate Seth Lakeman or Johnny Flynn performance on the violin and I’m total mush. Well, move over Seth and…
If you remember wayyyy back to when Music Savvy Mom (Ri) actually wrote on her own blog, *snerk*, then you may remember her wildly popular “Friday Fivers” and their counterparts, the “Sunday Scoop”. This was a regular feature wherein five blind tracks were posted on Friday – no set up, no commentary. Readers were invited…
Craig Taubman is one of the biggest names in contemporary Jewish music, and he’s got a newly released album that I want to tell you about. That’s not where I want to start, though. I’m going to start…at the beginning! This being “The Music Mamas” and all, I just figured it would be important to…
There are many artists out there who seem to have suddenly achieved their success practically overnight. You might, if you just “found” P!nk in the last couple of years or so as a result of her stunning live performances of “Sober” (on the 2009 VMAs) and “Glitter in the Air” (on the 2010 Grammys), or…
So. A little over a year after the breakup of Oasis, one of the Gallagher boys – y’know, the one that everyone thought was an obnoxious substance abused fuckhead – has a new band and a new song. (Hint. It’s not Noel.) Here’s the link – let’s all download this puppy and compare notes, shall…
