Britney, Adele, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Nicky Minaj, Mary J Blige, Taylor Swift… the pop game today is all about the ladies. The top cat is of course Katy Perry who had an amazing year, closing it off with a guest slot on SNL last week. Respect.
Here’s the latest video from Katy, The One that Got Away.

Requiem for a Dream, Pi, Black Swan, The Wrestler and now, Loutallica… yes, praised director Darren Aronofsky, has directed the video for this track by the unlikely collaboration of Lou Reed and Metallica, from their misleading titles album, Lulu.

The news of George Michael’s health caught us off guard, and we started thinking about all the great music he’s produced over the years; from his early days with Wham onwards. We are sending our prays and wishes to George Michael, his family and his fans. Hopefully we will mention him here again in happier circumstances.
Bon Iver, former Kanye West collaborator, has just released this new video clip for his most controversial track yet, Beth/Rest. The track is lifted from his latest album, one of 2011 highlights without a doubt. On this track he sounds mostly like a forgotten Peter Gabriel track from his mid 80′s phase. What’s your opinion, do you like this minimalistic 80′s throwback?
We love Cee Lo! We seriously do. Everything he touches and does has a certain charm that we don’t see around a lot in today’s manufactured pop sphere. So when he releases a new track from his latest album: The Lady Killer, we happily stand by him and shout: “Team Cee Lo!”
And if you haven’t done so yet, it’s never too late to grab the album from iMesh
