An in-depth interview with Jason Gurney about the birth of entertainment blog tracking site ShowHype, the inner workings of the site, and how I can potentially rule the world through it (hint – the plan involves underpants).

Has anyone been able to log on in the morning without seeing a story about Britney Spears? I think we’ve finally reached the point of not just over saturation when it comes to celebrity sleaze, but dangerous over saturation. Britney is a prime example of this as it’s looking more and more like her media coverage is eventually going to kill her and I don’t just mean career-wise.

After two weeks of covering the best of 2007 we have finally arrived at the top five albums of the year. Making up the year’s top offerings are a breakthrough artist who works with The Neptunes, a creative British singer with a strange sense of humor, two multi-faceted Hip-Hop artists and a tri-lingual beauty who puts it all together.

Artist Of The Week – Faculty

AdamsWorldBlog AdamsWorldBlog posted 1/14/2008 from adambernard.blogspot.com

This week I caught up with one half of the Hip-Hop duo Faculty to find out more about their history, what they mean when they say they look to create “good Hip-Hop music,” and the daily tasks that come with running their label D&H Records. With much respect to all the teachers of the world, this might be the most interesting Faculty meeting in recorded history

Solving The One Hit Wonder Problem
Solving The One Hit Wonder Problem

AdamsWorldBlog AdamsWorldBlog posted 2/6/2008 from adambernard.blogspot.com

Back in the day one hit wonders were treated as what they were, groups or artists that had one song in them and nothing more. Since the number of one hit wonders has been growing rapidly in recent years we know there is an issue here, so what can be done to either prevent, or work with, these here today gone tomorrow artists? I have a few ideas.

What do George Michael, John Mellencamp, Geggy Tah and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones all have in common (other than being in this sentence)? They’re all featured in this month’s episode of From A to B 90’s Style, everyone’s favorite co-blog by superstar journalists Adam Bernard (hey, that’s me!) and Bear Frazer. Enjoy!

First Week Phonies
First Week Phonies

AdamsWorldBlog AdamsWorldBlog posted 6/25/2008 from adambernard.blogspot.com

There's an old pro wrestling term for the folks who believe Lil' Wayne's first week numbers are real; marks. This post isn't going to be about all the ways I feel those numbers have been falsified, though, rather I'm going to turn my attention to the actual importance of first week sales numbers and why, in the long run, we'd all be better off if we didn't know them.

Hooking Up w/ The Makeout Party

AdamsWorldBlog AdamsWorldBlog posted 11/21/2007 from adambernard.blogspot.com

This past Saturday former Artists of the Week The Makeout Party held an album release event for their Spell Check… 1… 2 EP at Lit Lounge in New York City. Already a fan of their music, at the show I learned that when The Makeout Party performs, unless you are incredibly uptight, and by uptight I mean the kind of person who didn’t like Pootie Tang, you have no choice but to have a good time...

2008 is almost here, so it’s time to run down the best 2007 had to offer. To handle this task I’ve created a five part series that will cover my Top 25 Albums of 2007. Today I bring you part one, albums 25-21, which includes a band that uses toy instruments, a funky dance duo, a fresh face on the R&B scene and two MCs who want to make you move to socially relevant lyrics.

An Interview w/ The One Hand Bandit

AdamsWorldBlog AdamsWorldBlog posted 12/31/2007 from adambernard.blogspot.com

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Ryan O’Neil moved to Queens, NY in 1994. He became interested in music while attending LaGuardia High School and when he moved on to college he majored in the subject. This week I caught up with O'Neil to find out why he and 100dbs work so well together, how being a “One Hand Bandit” has affected him in the past, and why you’ll never see him passing out flyers.

Artist Of The Week - Euphon
Artist Of The Week - Euphon

AdamsWorldBlog AdamsWorldBlog posted 2/4/2008 from adambernard.blogspot.com

Euphon is the East Harlem, New York, duo of emcee Mr. Fantastik and emcee/producer Slim. Their name comes from the word euphonic, which means agreeable sound, especially in the phonetic quality of words. The two felt this was a perfect fit for what they were looking to do - be different musically while still being pleasing to the ear...

AdamsWorldBlog AdamsWorldBlog posted 4/30/2008 from adambernard.blogspot.com

In my mind this isn’t a question of art or porn, but rather an issue of our perception of imagery, so today I’m asking is there something wrong with the Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photo, or is there something wrong with the masses of people who when viewing it instantly think of sex?

Nas Nixes “Nigger”
Nas Nixes “Nigger”

AdamsWorldBlog AdamsWorldBlog posted 5/23/2008 from adambernard.blogspot.com

Although all parties involved are saying the decision came about mutually and was not a result of any pressure whatsoever, Nas’ upcoming album has had its title changed from Nigger to Nas. I actually have no problem with this for one very big reason; it had become clear that the album had been named Nigger not to spark any kind of intellectual debate, but rather just to hype an album...

This past Friday my radio show was pre-empted for college basketball and it actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise. At first I was disappointed, but then I remembered that my girl Rue Melo was going to be in NYC to perform and I quickly hit up her publicist to get on the list. Once on the list (+1, of course) I called up a buddy of mine that I hadn’t seen in a while and we were ready ...

AdamsWorldBlog AdamsWorldBlog posted 11/9/2007 from adambernard.blogspot.com

From opening at shows at a local hotel to appearances on Showtime at the Apollo and BET's Coming to the Stage, Jackson has had a metoric rise in the world of stand up comedy. I sat down with him to discuss the ups and downs of being a stand up comic, the first time he saw another comic doing his material, and balancing comedy with family.

Mickey Avalon’s Long Strange Trip

AdamsWorldBlog AdamsWorldBlog posted 12/5/2007 from adambernard.blogspot.com

The other day I turned on my TV and saw an ad for Boost Mobile that starred Jermaine Dupri, Young Jeezy and one of my personal favorite artists, Mickey Avalon. This made me think back to a conversation I had with Mickey earlier in the year. It's an interesting look into the life and work of one of music’s most unique individuals.
