    Goodie Mob to Play Feb. 24 at Neumos

    ​Goodie Mob is back together, and back on tour.

    A Trashy Pop Music Junkie's Guide to the Top Five Concerts of 2009

    ​With the end of 2009 approaching, it seems that every music writer on the planet is obligated to share their subjective expertise on what the best moments in music were this year.

    Management 101 by Cash Money: Take All Their Cash Money

    As you may recall, the first person to be prosecuted under Washington's human trafficking law is an 18-year-old alleged pimp named Deshawn Cash Money Clark. Now, there are no quotation marks around Cash Money because that's his actual middle name. (Oddly, it's spelled as one word in most news accoun ... More >>

    So My Interview With Fucked Up Got, Well, Fucked Up

    In my blogged interview with Damian Abraham, the super-charismatic lead singer of Fucked Up, I noticed that somehow, the bottom 3/4 of my interview disappeared.

    This morning, a good chunk of the Rock The Bells line-up was announced and there were a few notable surprises. To get the first one out of the way, there's no local performance.

    Snagged from Jake One's Twitter Page

    It's hard to imagine a college glee club covering the music of Young Jeezy or Lil Wayne. But leave it to local beat connoisseur and sample-fiend, Jake One, to find a bunch of college dorks going in on a couple of contemporary hip-hop classics. Check out this YouTube video and we'll see if Jake fin ... More >>

    Best Pregnant Performance in History?

    Even her fetus has swagger Considering that M.I.A.'s due date was last night, it seemed impossible that the Sri Lankan pop singer would even attend the Grammy's yesterday let alone perform at them.

    Lil Wayne Samples... Green Day?

    When I first heard Lil Wayne was releasing a rock album, I thought it was one of the most catastrophic career moves the rapper could make. But I'm starting to change my mind. I love "Prom Queen."

    Last Night: Lil Wayne at Key Arena

    Watch a slideshow of Lil Wayne at KeyArena on Sunday, Jan. 25. All photos by Renee McMahon. I never thought I'd use Lil Wayne and sexy in the same sentence. But after seeing him last night, I've changed my mind: Lil Wayne is sexy. Yes, he's a fucking weirdo. He drinks too much cough syrup. He smo ... More >>

    Lil Wayne hits Key Arena Sunday.

    I don't care how much cough syrup he guzzles or how much weed he smokes. Lil Wayne is the man of the moment, thanks to success of Tha Carter III . He's got cake like every day's his birthday.

    Balls & the Bayou: Young Bleed's Southern Soul

    Young Bleed rose to national prominence as an MC briefly on Master P's No Limit Records during its mid- to late-'90s heyday.
