Last month Chris Brown released an interesting mixtape called Fan of a Fan, a collaboration with Tyga. I have to admit I have a shaky perception of Chris Brown. In fact, many of Chris Brown’s original songs seemed to lack any sort of “it” factor, despite his huge following. Eventually, he decided to grow up [...]

Ringo Starr of The Beatles turned 70 today, and his request for presents was quite simple: the drummer asked fans to flash peace signs and say the words “Peace and Love” at noon. I guess that makes Ringo the only person to effectively promote world peace. Ringo was born Richard Starkey and is the oldest of [...]

Jay-Z adds a verse to a newly remixed version of “XXXO” off of M.I.A.’s upcoming and highly anticipated new album, ///Y/.

To the casual listener, the Deftones latest album, Diamond Eyes, doesn’t seem all that different from the hard-rocking California band’s previous releases.

The 6 ft 5, overly-tatted lead vocalist of Gym Class Heroes, Travie McCoy, is on the front of Honey Mag. He had a photo shoot which was inspired by “30′s fashion, meets city guy”.

Beyonce has just released a new video. This video was directed by Melina Masoukas – the same creator of Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” video. The song is very catchy and the video was very well directed. It includes scenes which look like they were inspired from Rosie Riveter clip art, but like others I’m waiting for [...]

After the devastating news from Mexico hit the news everywhere after up to 5,000 barrels (200,000 gallons) of oil per day leaked into the ocean of the Louisiana Coast threatening wildlife and sea animals, musicians have come to its aid!

Not many active artists in the world of music have seen as much as Billy Corgan.

John Mayer takes a lot of flack, but despite all of the criticism, there’s one thing for certain – the man can write some quality songs.

Has Drake shot himself in the foot, by using  his Twitter account to Direct Message someone about an unfinished track?
