Bono, The Edge, Rihanna, and Jay-Z performed their song written with Swizz Beats at the Hope for Haiti Now benefit Friday night. The performance of “Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)” is above, and the official mp3 of the studio version of the track is available on iTunes with 100% of the proceeds going to Partners in [...]

I’m afraid my gripes with this one go way beyond a comment/Tweet/Facebook status update. Based almost entirely on the top 2, Rolling Stones’s Top 25 Best Albums of 2009 is easily the worst ‘best of’ list the magazine has ever done (counting year end albums lists only, cause Lord knows they’ve made a metric ton [...]

The Boss closed out Giants Stadium last night with one final performance of his beloved Tom Waits cover. Down the shore everything’s alright. Sha la la.

“I was raised outta steel here in the swamps of Jersey.” Yeah you effing were.
The Boss opened up his 5 night stint at Giants Stadium Wednesday night with a new song, “Wrecking Ball,” an ode to the soon to be demolished New Jersey sports arena. Though cut off at the end, the video is professionally [...]

Oh, I know. Cause award shows are BS. Here is a little something to add to the open wound that is Bruce’s Oscar snub: an incredible video for his title track from The Wrestler.

I did not watch the Superbowl last night (Sorry, Football. Showtime Sundays). However, I did tune in with 2 seconds left in the 2nd to make sure I caught Bruce Springsteen’s sure-to-be killer halftime show. The “Dancing in the Dark” Courtney Cox rumor was [...]

John Frusciante The Empyrean
As I understand, Frusciante’s solo stuff is reserved for hardcore Chili Pepper fans (in that it’s basically the Chili Peppers). I’ve never heard any of his previous releases, but am going to check out this one. See, “Central.”
Kylie Minogue Boombox
Kylie remixes by everyone from The Chemical Brothers to Death Metal Disco, includes [...]
