Now, I won’t even lie about it. At first glance, I thought “Bryan who?” Upon quick and accurate research (thank you wikipedia) I realized I did, in fact, know exactly who Bryan Adams was. Born in Canada, the singer-songwriter also has accolades as a social activist and photographer. His work has been published in Vogue, Harper’s Bazar and Vanity Fair, and he has worked with...

His public image, though, has not improved, despite his (and his publicists’) best efforts to prove to the world that he’s a changed man. The 20-year-old singing and dancing phenom’s career... 

Okay, I have to admit that until this past January, I had no idea who Jimi Hendrix was. This semester, in order to fulfill a degree requirement, I took a class on “The Music of Jimi Hendrix” and it has proven to be one of the best classes I’ve ever taken! In the mid-60’s audio engineer and producer Eddie Kramer worked on several of Hendrix’s albums including the first,...

For me, the appeal of music isn’t the beat or the head-bang factor in a club. For me, the artistry comes from the lyrics. This is why Coldplay is one of my absolute favorite artists, along with Death Cab, Postal Service and similar bands that express soul through their lyrics rather than spitting out just another catchy beat. What makes the lyrics even more touching is when you know that the group...

Most music/film fans know that you usually have to take whatever a celebrity says with a grain of salt. Hollywood is a glamorized version of high school where you never know whether the celeb is saying what they want/think, or just regurgitating a piece written by their PRs. Twitter, though, is revolutionary. It gives celebrities the power to say whatever they want, stupid or not, within moments-before... 

HAHA This is just so funny I had to highlight it: During a private show in New York last week, singer Adam Lambert (American Idol), singled out a fan who was on her phone. Annoyed that she was too loud into it, he says “Sorry, can you get off your phone? You’re yelling into it. You’re not watching TV, honey – it’s a live show!” Em. Barassing. Lambert was runner...
