  • Beyonce Makes Me Say, “Oh My Damn!”

    While watching Beyonce perform Single Ladies on SNL this weekend, I felt like Tommy from Martin Lawrence’s old sitcom and kept saying, “Oh my damn!” Jay-Z is a very lucky man.

  • New Springsteen: The Boss is “Workin’ on a Dream”

    I don’t know about you guys, but I thought Magic was the best Springsteen album in quite some time. He and The E Street Band sounded completely energized, so with the official announcement that he is releasing a new album, I find myself excited about a new Bruce album for probably the first time in my life (I was a kid when Born in the U.S.A. and Tunnel of Love came out, so I appreciated those retroactively). The album is called Workin’ on a Dream, it’s being released on January 27th just in time for Bruce’s performance on the Super Bowl, and it will again be produced by Brendan O’ Brien, who helmed Magic. Here’s an acoustic performance of the title track. I like it…let us know what you think.

While the right way to send it off would be to play 1/4 of a video, have some obnoxious kid screaming over it, and feature lots of “whooooooooo!”s, they are sending the show off with a 2 1/2 hour special that’s sure to feature some serious star power. I have selflessly decided to sit through this event with my trusty bag of sour cream and onion Ruffles (Frito-Lay, y’all need to pay up). Worst comes to worse, it should be interesting. I will suspend my Jackson alert for this particular event (ironically, just as some video footage of Michael standing on top of a car (relax, it’s from 2001) pops up on the screen).
