#songoftheday / VIDEO: CHVRCHES: “EMPTY THREAT”
“Nothing to regret / Nothing to prove,” goes CHVRCHES new single “Empty Threat,” a song which anyone who has bought their sophomore album Every Open Eye can tell you is brilliant. The verses are catchier than the choruses of most pop songs. And the chorus is, well, out of this world. Crazy good. If ever…

KILLER SINGLE: Miner – “Better Instincts”
“Against my better instincts / I go against my better instincts,” sings Justin Miner during LA band Miner’s uppity, new folk rock single “Better Instincts.” At first, it sounds out like it’s going to be subtle electronica then it shifts to folk and then folk rock, by which point it will have totally won you…

#albumoftheday / REVIEW: Mylène Farmer: INTERSTELLAIRES
In 2010 Mylène Farmer, the most popular French artist in the world, surprised fans when she released her first album without longtime collaborator Laurent Boutonnat, Bleu Noir. Her formula with Boutonnat was simple: Laurent wrote the music and she wrote the lyrics. At least that’s how the credits read. I should think there were times…

J’ADORE PARIS
Our thoughts and prayers are with Paris tonight. I am especially saddened and upset by this news because I’ve been to Paris four times and truly feel as though my heart resides there. The reason I went to Paris was often to see concerts. Mylene Farmer at Bercy. Vanessa Paradis and Raphael at the Olympia.…

#albumoftheday / REVIEW: KYLIE MINOGUE: KYLIE CHRISTMAS (DELUXE EDITION)
PROCEED WITH CAUTION… This review is biased, as it was written by a major Kylie fan. So, if that’s going to bother you, don’t read on. Otherwise, please do! Kylie Minogue’s long-awaited Christmas album, Kylie Christmas, has arrived! As a longtime fan, I find it hard to believe. I’m listening to it as I write…

RED HOT RAP: Classified – “No Pressure” (feat. Snoop Dogg)
“It’s the weekend on the west coast,” sings Classified on his red hot new single “No Pressure.” He also sings, “It’s the weekend on the east coast,” wisely not choosing one over the other. But this is actually a rap song. You see, the dude can rap and also sing his own hooks, which isn’t…

#songoftheday / REVIEW: Ckrono & Slesh: “SLANG”
If you’re getting bored with EDM, well, I really couldn’t blame you. In fact, I am, too. But today we have a two song EP from Ckrono & Slesh, a duo hailing from Florence, Italy, and it’s a stimulating blend of kudoro (something I’d never heard of before), Afro-house, funk, dub and even a bit…

HOT J-POP (IN ENGLISH): CHII: “WHY DO I?”
Chii is a member of the recently formed J-Pop girl group 4TE, which I’ve been very impressed by so far and I expect that I’ll continue to be. To that end, I’m really, really hoping they’ll release a full-length album soon. Their music is one of the best things to happen to J-Pop since Kyary…

#songoftheday / REVIEW: DALEA: SPEED RACER
From 2009 to 2013 Dalea was the lead singer/founder of Quimera Music, a symphonic rock band. Now solo, she has changed gears and shifted into the realm of pop. Her new single, “Speed Racer,” is a delicious mix of electro and synth pop with a very chic, futuristic, sci-fi vibe that makes it immediately intriguing.
Thank you for your comment. I don’t know what to think about Marilyn Manson and the Evan Rachel Wood thing…
I met Marilyn Manson twice. I was probally 24? Blonde hair and skinny. He had someone film each one of…
