This isn’t it for Michael Jackson’s Legacy

It’s good to know that more came out of Michael Jackson’s death than just the media hullabaloo.
Jackson handpicked his dancers and guitarist in the concert film, “This is It,” and now, their careers are on the rise.

Rocker Butch Walker Covers a Taylor Swift Song

Ah, the power of Twitter.
Singer Taylor Swift tweeted, Butch Walker “covered ‘You Belong With Me’ and I’m losing my MIND listening to it! Blown away. This weekend rules.”
I was expecting more of a rock version since that’s what Walker’s known for, but his cover is more acoustic and folk-sy.
If you have a Twitter account, you [...]

Pandora Radio Has Its Limits

In addition to Pandora’s recent cap on listening hours, I just found out we’re only allowed to have 100 stations.
Silly me, but with all the songs and artists out there, I think the number of stations should be unlimited. I already reached 100, forcing me to delete some of my stations in order to make room for [...]

In Case You Were Wrestling an Anaconda

Note: This will be a recurring blog post. The last entry focused on pop culture articles and while this one has its fair share, there’s also more randomness and seriousness. Here are links to stuff (stories, photos, videos, etc.) I found interesting over the past few days:
• ”Grey’s Anatomy” blog entry on its Season 6 opener — ABC.com
Every night, after ”Grey’s Anatomy” airs, the [...]

In Case You Were Getting a Bikini Wax

Note: This will be a regular, if sporadic, blog post. Here are links to stuff (stories, photos, videos, etc.) I found interesting over the past few days:
Joss Whedon fans unite! Entertainment Weekly magazine lists the best episodes of Whedon’s shows,  such as “Angel,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Dollhouse,” which launches its second season tonight on FOX. EW.com definitely gives the [...]

A Playlist for Rihanna

“I’m sorry.”
Two words that can mean nothing or everything.
In Chris Brown’s case — nothing.
Brown recently released his second video apology for hitting singer Rihanna, his girlfriend at the time. New York magazine’s headline on the story sums it up: “Monster Speaks, Part Two.”
That and fake.
In an attempt of sincerity, I’ve compiled a mixtape for Rihanna or [...]

YouTube and Pandora Radio Go Off-Key

Don’t get me wrong – I love watching trailers – just not when I’m trying to watch a music video.
I went on YouTube to see Mat Kearney’s “Closer to Love” for the first time, and it wasn’t a bad song. It might even grow on me, sneak up on me when I have a bad day. [...]
