Beth Ditto

Within seconds of meeting Beth Ditto, I’ve been pulled into a generous embrace, my head yanked down a foot or so and planted between her astonishing bosoms. It’s quite nice, actually, and not what I was expecting. There’s always that slight worry that fat people are going to be a bit whiffy — especially fat [...]

TESLA BOY

Introducing…TESLA BOY! Tesla Boy is the hottest band to come out of Russia since…well, probably ever!

It’s all here – dreamy melodies, Moroder-esque basslines, melancholic sleazy vocals, and glittering synth hooks that are [...]

Public Enemy – “Say it like it is”

Public Enemy is back at it with the new single “Say it like it is” an homage to the rebels, the thinkers, the civil rights leaders.  Be they black, white, blue, or brown.  I was shocked to see them change their mind on Elvis as well.  Like many folks in the 80′s we thought Elvis [...]

It only took forever, ,but she’s finally back and looking as good as ever.  The only person I’ve ever heard about getting banned from Jamaica for smoking too much ganja (that must be a rumor).  However, at 51, she’s looking damn good and sounding a good as ever.  Enjoy.
