RADIOHEAD

In Rainbows

What a revelation to wake up one morning and download a new Radiohead album, which had only even been announced 10 days earlier. More...

ANGIE STONE

The Art of Love & War

As she finishes her fourth studio album, Angie Stone tells us that she's "so happy being me"—and not just because she lost 18 pounds on "Celebrity Fit Club" last year. More...

DURAN DURAN

Falling Down

Justin Timberlake was not yet 2 years old when Duran Duran bombarded the charts with debut "Hungry Like the Wolf" in 1982. More...

JAY-Z

Blue Magic

When Jay-Z announced he was coming out of retirement, many questioned if he could return to the charts with platinum plaques. With "Blue Magic," the debut single from Nov. More...

Puppini Sisters

October 03, 2007
London (Shepherd's Bush Empire)

If the Puppini Sisters were going "forward to the '40s" when they emerged last year, they're now nestling nicely in the noughties. During this London show, the girls were presented with gold discs to mark 100,000 U.K. shipments of their debut album. More...

September 30, 2007

Kirkus Reviews

The Swift Rise To International Celebrity And Decades-Long Decline Into Profound Obscurity Of Eccentric Hungarian pianist Ervin Nyiregyházi.

Bazzana ("Wondrous Strange: the Life and Art of Glenn Gould," 2004, etc.) spent ten years investigating the bizarre life (1903-1987) of this quintessential flawed genius, who emigrated in 1920 to the United States, where he dazzled audiences and confounded critics for a few brilliant years before self-destructing at the end of the decade. More...

Kirkus Reviews

With Three Zillion Books On Rock History Already Available, Seasoned Music Writer Robins Finds A Good Reason To Write Another One.

Why bang out another book on the history of rock? Veteran rock journalist Robins (Billboard, Rolling Stone, Village Voice) answers that question with a resounding, Why the heck not? He must have figured that if he has the knowledge (check), the writing chops (check) and a point of view (check), it was worth a shot. More...
