What Kind of Democracy? Chinese you say?

Apparently Mr. Rose has given the masters to his label. Who wants to place a friendly wager on whether or not this album will actually come out this year?

...And Here I Thought They Were Gone Forever

Rolling Stone just posted a 2008 album preview article and it's full of surprises.

Remember Robyn? You know the Swedish female pop star from the early 90s? I know the girls reading this remember her and the smash hit "Show Me Love". Wasn't that the greatest dance/sing-a-long song? Anyway she's making her way back into the US spot light with a new album this spring. Little did I know this will be her fourth album, it seems as though she had more than just one hit in her home country. The new Robyn is a little more electronic that the 90s version, not really sure how well this album is going to do. Something tells me if she had broke into the US just a few years ago when Kylie was on her way up the charts she'd have a better chance. It's all about the band wagon!

Now that's only one surprise of many.

Just a few days ago while listening to Shimizu Shota (our bartenders favorite Japanese artist) I was reminded of the smooth stylings of none other than Usher and wondered where the hell he had gone. It seems I spoke too soon because lil' Usher has matured and is releasing his new found manhood onto the world in May.

As if these weren't enough the popular music scene is about to take a real trip back in time where even Nelly is releasing an album. What is the world coming to? What ever happened to one hit wonders? I liked it better when they disappeared all together after their big hit.
