REVIEW: THE BEACH BOYS - THAT'S WHY GOD MADE THE RADIO

From the opening piano/vocal track Think About the Days, you can tell EXACTLY who you are listening to; the glistening five part harmony, the melancholy tone, the sunny gleam over a slightly sad melody....The Beach Boys are back!! Their first full length album of original music since 1992's Summer in Paradise finds The Boys in more than fine form, with the classic lineup back together and

REVIEW: SCISSOR SISTERS - MAGIC HOUR

They're back!! I mean that in the most dramatic way possible. While I have enjoyed certain things about every single Scissor Sisters album since their debut, I haven't had that full album experience that I had with their self-titled debut album since. Magic Hour, in that way, is certainly a return to form. It's eclectic, sexy and full of surprises. It's everything you want from a Scissor

NEW VIDEO: GOSSIP - MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Gossip's new album, A Joyful Noise, is out today. Go buy it! Just a couple of weeks ago I posted the first single from the album, Perfect World, and it's video. Today I present the second, very different single, Move In the Right Direction. A little more upbeat and happy with a pop-of-color video and plenty of Beth Ditto! Love it! This album is really good, as you read in my REVIEW, so give this

REVIEW: GOSSIP - A JOYFUL NOISE

Gossip is mostly identified with its zaftig, outspoken frontwoman Beth Ditto, but they are a tight, sexy bunch who laid down the law of post-punk pop with their last album, Music for Men. Since then Beth made an amazing solo EP of trancey, dreamy dance songs and now rejoins her band for a moody, rockin' romp on A Joyful Noise. Starting off with a heavy 1-2 of Melody Emergency and first single

REVIEW: MADONNA - MDNA (DELUXE EDITION)

YAY!! I've heard it and the verdict is in. FABOOSH!!!! Really this album is way beyond expectation and the snippets do the songs no justice at all. It's an aural orgasm, one song after another it's own delicacy. There is A LOT of sounds here that you've never heard from Madonna, so get ready to experience her in a new way. It's hot, y'all. This is a review of the Deluxe edition, which features

REVIEW: LANA DEL REY - BORN TO DIE

The much discussed, much argued about, and much anticipated Lana Del Rey's album, Born to Die, leaked yesterday morning, just a week before it's official release. Oh, what the hell, I'm gonna go ahead and review this little nugget. Aside from the songs that I've already featured on here (Video Games & Born to Die) which I love, I haven't heard any other tunes by Lana Del Rey. Well, now I have,

REVIEW: RIHANNA - TALK THAT TALK

First, let's get this out of the way. Yes, it's only been a year (almost exactly) since Rihanna's released her last album, Loud. Guess what, RiRi's new album Talk That Talk, due November 21st,  is her sixth in six years. You do the math. The fact of the matter is, Rihanna doesn't sell that many ALBUMS, but her singles go through the roof. So when you have a collection of good songs, which Talk

ALBUM REVIEW: NICOLA ROBERTS - CINDERELLA'S EYES

Okay, I have reviewed both of Cheryl Cole's albums and Nadine Coyle as well. Both from the British Uber-girls Group Girls Aloud. Now comes the third member to put out her solo effort and it's the best yet I think!!!! Nicola Roberts, the seemingly shy red head who was always getting overshadowed as come out of nowhere and dropped an album full of pop fun and serious vocals. It's no secret that
