Looks like it really is Meg White . . . By request, I’m putting a not safe for work, minors, the easily offended, or Jack White warning on this.

I’ve always been more of a Stones guy–more of a Richards than a Lennon, more of a Jagger than a McCartney. I like the Beatles and all, but to me rock and roll will always be The Rolling Stones. I know that after about 1985, the band kind of went to shit (although I do [...]

TPC are in the studio working on the follow up to their awesome debut, “A Lesson In Crime.” I’m nervous . . . How can the follow up possibly be better? Here’s hoping they’re less like The Kaiser Chiefs and more like Bloc Party. 1. Citizens of Tomorrow (Space Ballad version)-Tokyo Police Club 2. The [...]

With summer stories that rival DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince’s classic anthem, Summertime, I can recommend this to fans of hip hop [...]
