THE BRAVEST MAN IN METAL: THE KEN MODE TOUR EDITION – PART II
Jun 26Can I make one thing clear? The debut Bravest Man in Metal column wasn’t designed to be provocative. Nor was it designed to make fun or denigrate those of you who enjoy the mind, body, personality and sexual function altering properties of alcohol. That came more from the title that Ol’ Neilstein saddled said entry with. Granted, coming on to the internet to not rip on people for who...
Sky Ferreira Casts A Spell In Her “Witching Hour” Photo Shoot
Jun 26Sky Ferreira does not bother or bewilder us, but she sure is bewitching — especially in her new “The Witching Hour” fashion editorial for Style Caster.

James took his talents to South Beach last summer to join forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh...

SATURDAY SONGS TO GET SPOOKED TO
Jun 26I have a friend who swears that the basement of her workplace is haunted by a g-g-g-g-ghost… She also mentioned an affinity for reality shows about paranormal activity. So naturally I asked her if the ghost at her workplace came before she started watching said reality shows or vice versa. What do you think her answer was? My humble apologies to the apparition-believers among us —...

Alicia Keys Reinvents Hits Live
Jun 26Alicia Keys doesn’t need much to fill a big room. As the curtain rose last night at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, Keys sat alone at a piano on a stage crowded with flickering candelabras, playing a baroque instrumental that led into the Beatles’ “Blackbird.” In a voice rich and soaring, she found new bite and meaning in the line: “All my life, I’ve...
