After many listens. I took time to edit and re-track Mariah Carey's new albumIt's quite good.Mariah Carey DEFINITLEY won the battle of the divas this year. E=MC² slaughters Leona Lewis obviously, next it destroys Janet's #3 flopped attempt at a comeback. Lastly, it completely snubs out everything Madonna is trying to do with her album.

It's really sad and I didn't say anything for a week, but the premier internet Music Blog, KEVIPODMUSIC was deleted recently. Let's just be honest: this sucks! Everyone who's anyone knows that KEVIPOD had the latest music and news in the entire world. The minute the new Britney Spears leaked... KEVIPOD had it... the hour the new Mariah leaked... KEVIPOD had it. He was THE SHIT and now we're all in chaos trying to find where he's at. (His MySpace was deleted too apparently. Either that or he cancelled it and went into exile... lol)So I'm really sad that he's gone... who else are we going to turn to? Seriously: i'm CHECKED out other blogs, many were his affiliates... and they SUCK!!! I'm so over it. :( And it's not like I can just get on the nonexistent Janet Jackson Forum which used to be a key componenet of Internet Buzz... however it was deleted last year along with the Mariah Carey Forum that was uphauled 3 years ago. Things haven't been the same and it's weird when yer so used to th ...

Former superstar Janet Jackson has been on the outer-rim for more than a decade. Ask different generations of listeners, and you'll come across 3 accounts of Janet Jackson.Inquire a 35-year-old and they'll recall the groundbreaking and legendary Janet Jackson who gave us Control and Rhythm Nation. Ask a 25-year-old and you'll have someone who remembers the classic hits "That's the Way Love Goes," "Runaway," and "Together Again."Ask a 15-year-old and you'll get a blank stare.After her severe depression in the mid-90's, Janet escaped the shadows with the release of The Velvet Rope. An unprecedentedly raw, poetic, and urban odyssey of relatiosnhips, the album Miss Jackson created explored all aspects of sex, loss, emptiness, and moments of bliss.Fastforward 3 years and you have a Janet that took a page from Mariah Carey and jumped the bubblegum pop bandwagon to keep her career going. Both artists had released their most intimate and critically-acclaimed masterpieces in 1997, but by the e ...

Alicia KeysAS I AM A solid effort from somewhat veteran Alicia Keys. She shows off her experience with 3 albums notched on her belt. There's little progression from her last record as many songs could unmistakeably be interchangeable between the two. Oh you R&B singers! Alicia still suffers from R&B filler syndrome with too many songs and most of them that drone on and are easily forgotten. However, the ones that do stand out are there for a reason, anchoring Key's collection of consistent R&B songs. There's a notable and strange correlation between Alicia Keys and Mariah Carey here: both singers released critically acclaimed debuts winning multiple Grammys. Following with less successful, more emotional sophomore albums, they both made their third records live MTV Unplugged EP's. Lastly, both singers made little progression to their 4th release however successful they are. Key's "No One" isn't unlike Carey's "Dreamlover," overdone midtempo coos about love; Carey's search a ...

After hearing RAVE and ridiculously positive reviews glorifying Radiohead's IN RAINBOWS, I took a listen. Unimpressed as I was I kept my mouth shut. A few weeks later I see Radiohead's pretentious psycho fans walking around YouTube and attempting to blast my comments about Radiohead offering nothing new or innovative to music. I stand by my opinion.Has anyone ever heard of a crazy Iclandic singer by the name of... oh... Björk!? OR how about a band called fucking Sonic Youth? Yeah. It's funny because I just came off a Björk-resurgence and I've been on a Sonic Youth kick for the past few months. So when I heard IN RAINBOWS by Radiohead I was actually baffled by the acclaim its received.Praised for its swirling guitars, droning vocals, and deconstructed sound... that's an entire checklist of the signature Sonic Youth sound. Does anyone listen to good music anymore? Combine with a futuristic synthesized electronic orgy of noise over pop beats... what else could come to mind but Björk?So ...

MIA: Mariah Carey

Where is she already? Who would have thought that Mariah Carey of all people would be missing in action for almost 2 years since the winding down of her last album. It seems like forever! She's wise though because this new record is being watched like a HAWK with anticipation from radio programmers, Grammy execs, and the fans alike.It's all playing out and setting up JUST like The Emancipation of Mimi, which so far, is a good thing. Around Christmas, you don't even need a new Mariah Carey album because you have PLENTY of her songs on the radio, particularly "All I Want For Christmas is You" which blares in my ear morning, noon, and night. All of this is actually more for Mariah's benefit that she DIDN'T bum-rush the record like Mary J. Blige did. And may I just say, Mary is getting her ass SPANKED by Alicia Keys.So, as of today, there is no album title, no leaked song, no single selected, and no video shot. Harkening back to 2001, we all know why Mariah has to keep a lid on this shit. ...

Ok. What the fuck? Seriously who the fuck goes crazy and starts shootin people? I'm over it. Get a fucking life!!!I seriously believe this rising amount of insane idiots that flip out and gun down people is a DIRECT correlation of how the media GLORIFIES them. The media is a media whore in and of itself. Every time one of these OUTRAGEOUS events happens, its blown so far out of decent proportion and continues to pander to the fears and insecurities of the general public. The murderer is portrayed in the media as some faux martyr who was "disturbed" and had a rough life *vomit* so there's this hint of justification in his massacre. There's no excuse.SOME people need to get the FUCK over the fact that they momma's only hugged them 8 times a day instead of the recommended 12. WAHH!!! Get the fuck over it. You're 18, 21 and 24.

I just want to say that Final Fantasy VII is my favourite video of game...ever. It really has a special place in my heart, among many others', and I absolutely adore it.Oddly enough, VII is actually the FIRST game I EVER played on PS1. The whole story and the protagonist's journey through self-discovery is so fascinating to me. I really love that character because I see so much of myself in it like hardcore: He's completely fucked up and emotionally unavailable... perhaps a bit sexually confused? lol. He's emo. Cloud is the original emo. He's a puppet. He's fake. He's a creation, an artificial person. Half of what he says is the perpetuation of lies and the other half is so heart-felt and sincere that you become woven into this gorgeous pattern of crazybeautiful: endless possibilities of an infinite reality. That's me. A fake and tough-yet-vulnerable, confused 21-year-old emo boi. That was me at 12 and it still is.Don't get me started on the soundtrack; it's easily Nobuo's finest work ...

Life On Standby: Hawthorne Heights
2007-12-04 03:10:02
It was confirmed today that guitarist Casey Calvert passed away from a pulmonary embolism while in his sleep. A potential clot of the pulmonary artery is virtually unnoticeable, and when gone undetected, can result in sudden death. This was the unfortunate case for the musician found incapacitated Saturday.Calvert was a member of rock group, Hawthorne Heights, on tour at the time of his death. The tragic news came during a barrage of legal issues with the band. During October 2006, Hawthorne Heights filed suit against Victory Records citing abuse, breach of contract, copyright infringement, and fraud. The label filed a countersuit, but was dumbfounded when a judge later ruled in May 2007 that Victory Records has no exclusive rights to the group (Doh!); however, the band must deliver two more albums as part of their 4-album contract.It doesn't stop there.On October 16, Wild Justice Records sued Hawthorne Heights asking for $138,000 in damages from breach of contract. In addition, the m ...

Super Deluxe Remastered Ulta Special Limited Platinum Definitive Collector's Gold Version Edition Re-release
2007-12-04 03:00:51
Today, Justin Timberlake readies the release of his "Deluxe Edition" of FutureSex/LoveSounds, the Grammy-nominated album that took the pop world by storm this past year. Strategically arriving right on schedule for the holiday season, this re-release follows an ever-growing number of albums that have been re-packaged in recent years. The re-release is marketing brilliance from three standpoints:it's money in the bank for the record execs; throw a few remixes on the same CD and re-sell it to the same peopleit offers the eager and zealous fans a chance to buy another piece of... er... art from their favourite artist.for the artist, (remember them?) it regenerates interest in the album and can potentially allow the record to garner additional GRAMMY nods.So the re-release truly hits the nail on the head because it pleases the 3 fundamental parts of the music industry. The outcome, however, of a re-release ends in only four ways:It saves a failing album: Shakira's Oral Fixation Vol. 2The ...

Michael Jackson Reworks Masterpiece

The King of Pop celebrates 25 years of the biggest album in history. The masterpiece, Thriller, is set for re-reissue this coming February with a host of special features and surprises.The 8-time Grammy Award winning album includes a bonus disc of the Thriller videos and Jackson's legendary unveiling of the moonwalk on "Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever."Highlights of the record are the inclusion of songs "Carousel," "Someone in the Dark," and "For All Time" which are not found on the original pressing.Bigger yet is the enlistment of superstars Jackson hand-picked to remix four of the album's iconic singles. Kanye West, will.i.am, and Akon contribute production on reworkings of the classics "Billie Jean," "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," "The Girl is Mine," and "P.Y.T." There is no info on whether Michael Jackson re-recorded vocals for any of the songs, but I wouldn't discount it. I expect the guest artists to have vocals as well.There is a lot of potential here and I'm actually inter ...

The Album is Dead
2007-12-01 08:13:25
So in case you haven't noticed, the concept of an artist having an album is pretty laughable. Gone are the days where unknown bands could hope for a "big break" by getting a video played on MTV, or having a song chart on radio. Having a #1 single in 2008 will not even guarentee that an artist will go GOLD. Look at Rihanna: her smash, "Umbrella," couldn't even sell her album; it took three additional singles and a holiday season. It's really sad actually. It comes from two things:the decline in overall quality of records consumer doubt that artists can deliver a solid albumIn the late 90's, the music industry pushed SO much disposable music in order to increase sales, and it worked. The year 2000 saw the highest number of albums sold in history, a whopping 785.1 million records scanned. The problem with that is how SO many of those CD's were anchored by a select few cherry-picked singles. This caused a general disgust from consumers that paid $14.99 for an album that sucked while the re ...

Beyonce is the whore of the music industry. Surpassing even Madonna in her glory days as the most desperate, packaged-for-sale artist, the product THAT IS Beyonce has irked me for years.Post-Black Friday, the re-re-release of Beyonce’s B’Day re-entered the Billboard 200 selling an astonishing 73,000 copies (up from 4,000 the previous week.) Wow. People must have really been interested in her album… or not. TURNS OUT, Wal*Mart, the worlds largest company, had Beyonce’s disc specially priced at a ridiculous $4.99, the only album this weekend available for such a bargain. Upon hearing this, I scratched my head and yawned. How predictable: Beyonce needs a super-discount to sell an album people OTHERWISE never would have bought. *Yawn*I grow weary of the games these media-whore’s play to bend, twist, and skew facts and figures to make themselves look better. I remember a day when this was disdained and found appalling by not only the general public, but from members within the mus ...

Death Becomes Her
2007-11-29 03:23:10
Aside from the disastrous VMA’s performance that was somewhat out of her control, all attempts at a comeback for former pop princess, Britney Spears, have been rather… nonchalant? Yes Britney is stalked by paparazzi and yes she’s under a microscope, but why has she done nothing to shake the waning public image of her as a white trash mother of two? I really don’t get it, honestly.The VMA’s fiasco was so much more than just “oh, she sucked.” I really feel that the general public was (once again) willing to put aside EVERYTHING bad, negative, and disconcerting about Britney and start anew. I really believe that. Even the first 10 seconds of her on stage with “It’s Britney, BITCH!” people were ready to make fresh. After that, well, the rest is history. Literally.The problem from then on seems to be this half-assed attempt at a comeback. Combined with the prospect that Britney Spears has done virtually no promotion for her album, Blackout, that fact that it's certified ...

Hannah Montana VS Miley Cyrus
2007-11-28 22:35:28
When naming the premier female pop star of today, what singers come to mind? Kelly Clarkson?Mariah Carey?Carrie Underwood? ...Hannah Montana? These ladies have all sold an excess of 5 million records in the last 2 years alone, but one of them is not a real person; take a guess. Hannah Montana is a fictional character created in 2006 by The Walt Disney Company in attempt to further tap the tween audience of 12-year-old girls and sexual confused boys. The boys aren’t the only ones confused! The real life actress and faux-pop star behind the glamour is Miley Cyrus, a southern sweetheart who shares her first name with her TV character, Miley Stewart, who happens to have the alternate ego Hannah Montana. *cricket*Even Billboard Magazine, the holy book of the music industry, was bedazzled as how to list Hannah Montana/Miley Stewart/Miley Cyrus on its charts. All of this confusion adds to the ultimate question: how has this Hannah Montana phenomenon swept across the country? Ask General Ma ...
