In an effort to head further down the path blazed by MTV and TLC, History has brought on Eli Roth (Hostel) to craft a mini-series around Jesus Christ's totally-not-canon demon wranglin' 20s. Read More »
Not that the Velvet Undergound could possibly be more influential, but I think more people might dig them if they had put out a few more tracks like Curtis Harding's cover of "Here She Comes Now." Harding covered the track for Burger Records White Light/ White Heat compilation and replaced the original's slow, introspective feel with a hollering gospel stomp, adding in a few horns for good measure.

Jack White is at his best when he's paying homage to his folk/blues roots, like on the White Stripes early single "We're Going To Be Friends." In stark contrast to the overblown, unhinged guitar sound of his recent solo albums, White performed the back-catalog track accompanied by a fiddle, double bass and banjo during Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating The Music of Inside Llewyn Davis, a star-studded concert surrounding the titular film that raised money for the National Recording Preservation Foundation.

M-E-T-H-O-D MANNN. A$AP Mob has released the first track from their upcoming as-yet-untitled compilation album, "Trillmatic." The mix n' match collective makes the debt they owe to the 20th-anniversary-celebrating Wu Tang Clan explicit with a verse from none other than Method Man. Read More »
Gold Coast mayor Tom Tate has issued an all-tomato to pop singer Justin Bieber, come back and clean up the graffiti he sprayed on the side of a Queensland hotel, or face the consequences (those consequences being a private concert at the mayor's Christmas party). Read More »
If you tried to project the people to have a banner year in 2013, I doubt anyone would have picked Italian disco pioneer Giorgio Moroder. The superproducer kicked off the year with a high-profile collaboration/ history lesson with Daft Punk on their Random Access Memories track "Giorgio By Moroder." Since then, Moroder has been tapped by Google for original music, took part in a Diana Ross remix album and begun work on a collaboration with Chic's Nile Rodgers. Read More »
