It's Mary J.'s Birthday!!!
It was totally meant to be. I’ve been listening to ‘My Life II’ since last weekend eventhough, I bought it the week it dropped. Well, last night I went to Other Music and found ‘My Life’ in the used section…and I was compelled to buy it cuz well, DUH!
Today, I’ve been jamming to it hoping Mary’s pain can help soothe my tortured soul; then, I...

How's My New Year's Eve Going?: Ask Abel Tesfaye
I finally cracked open the Weeknd’s final installment in his 2011 trilogy of albums about loneliness (among many, many other themes). Echoes of Silence is awesome, and it was the perfect way to end 2011. The year that the mixtape…er free albums were elevated to a near artform, and the year that Pop music saved my life.
Download Echoes of Silence officially here.

Thank God Loretta Lynn Is Alright! →
Over the weekend, Saturday night to be exact, I was in a cab coming home from the failure of the Fool’s Gold party; when, I read that Loretta Lynn had been admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. But today she was released.
The original statement issued read “Around 1:30 AM Saturday morning, Loretta awoke on her tour bus complaining that she was having a hard time breathing. They admitted...

Drizzy Is So Sweet!
Drake didn’t want us to worry when his album wouldn’t be released on 10/24. He left this statement on his OVO.
The new date for Take Care is November 15th, 2011. I managed to create this album in my hometown of Toronto and the thoughts and stories I wanted to get across just became so clear. It truly felt like when I was here 3 years ago making So Far Gone. So I have...

KATE BUSH!!!! Every Album Release Is An Event! ...
I have to say, there aren’t many artist’s whose album releases are events. Aretha’s used to be. Whitney’s are, and so are Sade’s, but none are like a Kate Bush release event (maybe it’s because we can’t believe it is really gonna happen, and so surprised and grateful when it does. It makes us a better person and to believe in miracles—if you...

Being Happy Is Difficult!
You really have to commit to being happy. You have to chose it like it is one of your life goals and not let it slip away and fight for it. It takes a lot of energy. It is easier to just be sad and lonely.
Today I read that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony split. It is sad to because I know that no matter how much one may love someone else. Things are difficult and that it is difficult to be...

I was reading this article about these NYC Private schools that are starting to top $40K. So, I looked at the websites for these elite schools for children before college—nothing special: ugly buildings, weird children, and totally average looking classrooms. It is not like a movie. ...

My Heartbreak Gets Heavier By The Day: A Decade Of...
I warn you this is just an account of my frustration with the Academy Awards: for me the Hollywood magic began to show cracks when Helena Bonham Carter lost to Helen Hunt in 1997 (but which gem do you choose plus As Good As It Gets is a masterpiece and the shoulda been best picture of 1997), so it was tempered.
2001: Of course I knew in 2001 David Lynch wouldn’t win for Mulholland Drive,...

Naomi Shelton: Look What Showed Up In My Email...
Bosco Mann speaks about recording Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens’ first album. It is easily not only one of the best records of the last decade (I’m still working on my decade list don’t worry; it’s definitely top 10), but it also is one of my ALL time favorite records. My only question is…When is Naomi’s next record being made? When is it gonna drop? ...

Nicki Is #1!
Miss Minaj is FINALLY #1! (I mean, she’s always #1, DUH!, but this time I mean she tops Billboard’s Album chart.) In 11 weeks she hit #1 and the one million sales mark (to 1,035,000 total since its Nov. 22, 2010 release with the help of her winning SNL appearance) in the same week. Boo-Yah! to all the haters. She tweets:

The Strokes Return and Give Away Their New Jam
It’s been five years of silence (and middling side projects that have taken too much focus of our boys attention from their real purpose). The silence is broken tomorrow when “Under Cover Of Darkness” the first single from the Strokes’ fourth album, Angles, will be given away as a free download via their website. Rolling Stone has given it ★★★★☆!
In-fact here is what...

Robyn Is Ready To Storm Radio City Music Hall...
For anyone living in the future, you need to know our reigning Pop-Star.
I’ll be at Radio City tonight for this magical night in the NYC career of Robyn. I was there for her first NYC show ever. Then I was there at Webster Hall last summer for her SOLD OUT shows (that showed she had a following in America), and now this moment. Radio City Music Hall is a great venue for amazing women:...
