Rising rap star doesn't need RIAA
|
You won’t hear up-and-coming rap star Flo Rida griping about fans pilfering his songs on P2P sites, or complain that technology is hurting the music industry. Don’t talk to him about so-called digital divides either.
As one of rap music’s fastest rising stars, Rida, 28, is new enough to music success that fans are still precious [...]

A lesson in sharing: the music of today plays the give-and-take game
|

New York City’s Yeasayer have also recently garnered acclaim [...]

Two short notes on pop music
|
“Romany Soup” is absolutely classic: haunting, hypnotic, melodic. Please do get started on Bolan. Please do. (And don’t you dare leave out “One Inch Rock”.)

Album Review |
|
|
Whats going on here? An OAP recording a Billy Idol cover with a big band! Surely nofinancial inducementcan be worth such abject loss of dignity.
Paul Anka first topped the Billboard Singles Chart half a century ago with "Diana" (1957). He was never in the same league as Eddie Cochran or Buddy Holly, but went on to becomea consistentperformer who scored hits well into the sixties.
His first come back came in 1974 - a duet with Odia Coates titled "(You're) Having My Baby". Cloying and cheesy like a bag of sweaty Wotsits, the track revitalised Paul's career; a career in which he has (so far) produced a terrifying 124 albums.
Basically, Rock Swings shows that you can take any old 'rock' track and rearrange it into an unrecognisable slab of schmaltz. "Eye of the Tiger" - for sheer audacity -is a high point of sorts, "Wonderwall" is almost listenable, but "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is an insult to the sensibilities. It's not funny. It's not post-modern. It's crap.
