Upgrade or Downgrade: Lily Allen Goes Blonde
I miss the brown hair. The blonde hair makes her look washed out here, but she looks a lot cuter in this comely photo.
According to People: “Lily Allen, checking out the art of musician-turned-painter pal Paul Simonon (of The Clash) during a private viewing at London’s Thomas Williams Fine Art Gallery. The newly blonde singer [...]
The Gossip on Letterman
Beth Ditto and the gang of the Gossip rocked the house on Letterman last night. Dittos electric performance, complete with neon makeup and traffic sign-patterned tube dress, surely weaseled them some new found fans.
When it was all over, Dave suggested that he and the band “rent a van and drive across the country.” To which [...]
The Kooks New Album “Konk”
The sophomore album by British rockers The Kooks is now out in stores.
I took a few spins of the album today and was all in all impressed. As readers of this site will recall, I absolutely adore the Kooks, so I had high expectations (and a little trepidation) for the new album.
Although some of the [...]
Britt Daniel Now Loves the White Stripes
Looks like Spoon front man Britt Daniel has had a change of heart when it comes to the White Stripes. According to a recent Pitchfork interview, he is backtracking on his “Small Stakes” lyric “I don’t dig the Stripes/ But I go for Har Mar”–now stating he’s a “big fan” and thinks “they’re doing something [...]

You Hear It First: The Postelles “123 Stop”
New York City band The Postelles (who I’ve seen open up for Jack Penate) just finished recording a song with The Strokes‘ guitarist and successful solo singer-songwriter, Albert Hammond Jr., who worked behind the board as the producer of the song. (His first time as a producer of another band’s tunes.) The song is called [...]
