...Joey, phrasing like a girl-group singer with nothing special in the way of chops. His everyman voice, weaker every year from the strain of constant touring, was all the more effective for being so ordinary. It was a voice that didn't call attention to itself. No strutting rock god here, no Robert Plant...
...Lemonheads’ B-side “He’s on the Beach”). While some press releases for the album have called her a folkie, it wouldn’t be right to lump the versatile MacColl into the cliche of the female folk singer-songwriter; Tropical Brainstorm is Latin-inspired, she’s written songs with Johnny Marr of the Smiths (and sang backup for them) and “They Don’t Know” is pure 60s girl group, a late-1970s recrystallization of the Brill Building sound.

Joey Ramone passed away last Sunday from complications from lymphoma. As lead singer of the Ramones, he was a crucial part of the New York punk scene and part-inventor of lots of things punk, most notably the stripping of pop to its rawest elements: guitars, drums and four chords.

Jagger was a lousy husband, Hall says, but he remains a great father to their four children, ages 3 to 17. After singer Melissa Etheridge and filmmaker Julie Cypher separated last year, they bought back-to-back houses in Los Angeles. The children they co-parent, ages 4 and 2, move between homes every four days--and at any time in between. "They truck through the back fence. It's very fluid," says...
