  • I Bette You Wanna Win A Free Midler CD

    For nearly four decades now, Bette Midler’s name has been synonymous with entertainment. From her early days in the Seventies providing the house entertainment (with piano accompaniment from some guy you might know named Barry Manilow) at gay bathhouses to a dual movie & music career that has seen her win Grammys and win at the box office with films ranging from “The Rose” to “Ruthless People” and “Outrageous Fortune”, Midler has been one of the most successful media hyphenates of recent times.

    This past week, Midler released a greatest hits compilation entitled “Jackpot: The Best Bette”. This collection features everything from “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” to 1989’s Grammy Record of the Year “Wind Beneath My Wings”. Now guess what, folks? You can WIN a copy of Bette’s latest CD by answering one simple question. Here goes:

    Which Rolling Stone hit did Bette cover in the early Eighties, and which Stone appeared in the song’s video, dirty dancing with Ms. Midler?

  • New Music In Stores & Online: 9/23/08: Kings of Leon, Pussycat Dolls, TV on the Radio and More!!!

    Kings of Leon's new album, "Only by the Night"

    This week’s lineup of releases includes a couple of bands right on the verge, a couple of vets returning after lengthy absences, and a couple of bands trying to capitalize on their first hit. Let’s take a look at the line-up.

    Kings of Leon “Only By The Night”

    I love Kings of Leon. I made that fairly clear in a post a while back. So “Only by the Night”, their fourth album, is highly anticipated by me…and I suppose quite a few other people too, since each album they’ve released has been progressively more buzzworthy than the one before it. The first single, “Sex on Fire” is awesome, so hopefully this’ll be yet another Southern-fried slab of funk/rock/swampy stuff that’s perfect to smoke a bowl to. If these guys and My Morning Jacket go on tour together, how much pot would be consumed at that concert?
