Thanks to Twitter and other factors, I had the chance to win a sample of a new product I thought you all would enjoy – lube! It seemed like a great way to introduce a new section of the blog: “Fluffer.” Fluffer will be little news items and miscellaneous tid bits of information that will [...]
For those unfamiliar with the group McFly, this is a good album to get started with. If you’re in America, it’s likely you haven’t heard of this group. Think of McFly as a modern day Backstreet Boys with more of an edge and fewer sappy tracks. This English pop/rock boy band consists of Tom Fletcher [...]

Happiness is the debut album of the synth pop European duo Hurts. If you live in the U.S., you more than likely haven’t heard of Hurts or have only heard of them due in part to their collaboration with Kylie Minogue on the song “Devotion” that got a little bit of press and attention. Still, [...]

Shakira is back with a new album, ‘Sale El Sol’ (Before the Sun) and if you’ve been unimpressed with her past few efforts (mainly the lackluster ‘She Wolf” album) then you should probably give this album a try. It’s back to the basics for Shakira: no Lil Wayne collaborations, no Timbaland-produced hip hop tracks and [...]

It’s been about three years since Maroon 5 released their last album ‘It Won’t Be Soon Before Long’ and the time off seems to have done them well. The first thing I noticed about their new album ‘Hands All Over’ that’s set for release on September 21, 2010, is that it feels a lot more [...]

Whenever a member of a musical group goes solo, it’s a bit exciting and yet a curious experience. We’re familiar with his or her contributions to that particular musical group but have rarely seen them on their own. We’ve seen solo artists who’ve started off as members of a group whose individual sound really doesn’t [...]
I am surrounded by magazines. I subscribe (or have subscribed) to many. My magazine subscriptions over the years have included Print, How, Details, Wired, Men’s Journal, Interview, Instinct, Out, Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, Runner’s World and Interview. Of those, I only have subscriptions to 8 of those today, 3 that are up to expire soon [...]
Every year seems to introduce a new female to the pop realm. So far, 2010 has brought forth Ke$ha, an artist that definitely does not look like most of our pop starlets. She’s very tongue-in-cheek, at times provocative but coming off as casual and ‘one of the guys’. ‘Animal’ is not a perfect pop album; [...]
I’m on the fence with Mary J Blige’s new album. I came in quite biased; I love Mary J Blige. Her angsty, melodramatic, heart wrenching music really vibes and clicks with me. Remember what Jenna said on a recent episode of ’30 Rock’? “Drama is like gay man Gatorade, it replenishes their electrolytes.” Perhaps it’s [...]
