Radio: Get Wrapped Up in Lady Gaga
Freaky, cheeky and chic, Lady Gaga is one of those pop sensations that somehow manages to delight the masses without losing any cool points with the fashion-making elite. On one level the multitalented Gaga has bucked the dance-pop trend by being completely in charge of all aspects of her ...

Gaga for Gaga
Oh, Lady Gaga . We love everything about you, from your weird, childlike name to your endless costume changes. You define pop stardom even as you mock it. And you trusted so fiercely in “the Fame” that you made yourself famous by the sheer power of self-belief (and maybe a little ...

Close to the Vest: Gay Pop Has the Upper Hand
Lest there be any doubt about it, Lady Gaga wants us to know that her song "Poker Face" is about fantasizing about women when she's hooking up with men. (It's a double entendre, capiche?) Sure, you could write that off as merely an attempt to stir up a little controversy -- although, if it's ...

Frank's World: Ella & Frank Were Top Rank
Welcome back to Frank's World , where I get to bore complete strangers by waxing rhapsodic about the vast Sinatra universe. One thing about Frank Sinatra: he was not shy about letting people know what musicians and singers he admired (read a past post on Sinatra and Lester Young here ). Ella ...

American Synth-Pop, from Lady Gaga on Back
Ever since the early days of MTV, Flock of Seagulls haircuts, and Spandau Ballet new romanticism, it's been widely accepted that synthesizer pop is a mostly British (or at its weirdest, continental European) phenomenon: "Glitter-disco-synthesizer night school, all that noble savage drum drum ...

Electronic Music's Best Albums of the Decade
Probably the most important thing that happened to electronic music in the '00s was its acceptance as a more or less everyday part of popular music, period. Sure, subgenres like house and techno persevered, and onetime blips blossomed into full-blown global subcultures -- witness U.K. garage's ...

Concentric Pleasures: Phoenix, Vitalic, Redshape
There are three really cool things about my job. One of them is getting to turn people on to the music I'm most jazzed about: it's a license to pontificate, really -- a pulpit for strictly musical evangelism. But, recognizing that my own tastes can be, shall we say, peculiar, I also try to ...

Great Live Albums
The live album is always a mixed blessing. Concerts are as much about the experience as they are the music. It’s seeing and sweating and drinking and dancing. It’s as visual as it is aural, and there simply isn’t a way a recording can replicate that. As often as not, pop groups just don’t have ...

John Mayer: Ace Gigolo
We'd be remiss in our blitz of John Mayer coverage if we didn't make some mention of the dude's well-documented but truly astonishing list of ex- and current girlfriends. A quick Goog'  of "john mayer girlfriend" yields a veritable trinity of major league "J" babes: Jennifer Aniston, ...

The Top 10 Adult-Alternative Artists of the Decade (or Why John Mayer Is God)
Pop music has been knee-deep in the second coming of the soft-rock singer-songwriter for most of this young century. Of course, we no longer call them singer-songwriters; we call them adult-alternative artists. It all started back in 2001 when the double-helix of the new genre, John Mayer and ...

John Mayer and the Fraternity of Musically Talented Rock Heartthrobs
In his eight years recording, John Mayer has walked a stylistic tightrope, splitting his time between presenting himself as a sensitive heartthrob (mainly on his solo studio albums) and a serious bluesman (on the live 2005 John Mayer Trio album Try! , for instance). By now, he seems to have ...
