Kylie Minogue has finally made a Christmas album! This is something Kylie fans have wanted for, well, only around 25 years. It’s a miracle that this isn’t her second or even third Christmas album by now. But, hey, we’re just grateful that we’re finally getting one! We’ll be counting down the days until it’s released…

Che-Val’s awesome, funkified “Love Still Waiting” finally has a video! You may remember that I dubbed it #songoftheweek last month

Of all the rock bands I’ve come across since starting Love is Pop, Dead Letter Circus is one of the most intellectual. Just pick any song from any of their albums and listen to it and you’ll see what I mean. Frontman Kim Benzie’s lyrics require deep thought to fully comprehend; they’re like riveting poetry…

interview by Michael McCarthy Yesterday we ran part one of my interview with Tracii Guns. If you haven’t read it yet, please READ IT NOW. In part one, we talked extensively about Tracii’s new band, Devil City Angels, which also features Rudy Sarzo, Rikki Rocket and Brandon Gibbs. In today’s conclusion we talk about several other…

interview by Michael McCarthy When you hear the name of guitarist Tracii Guns you probably think of his most famous band, L.A. Guns. But I did not ask any L.A. Guns questions during this interview. It simply didn’t occur to me. I’d written questions beforehand, of course, but I had so many questions about his…

BACKGROUND: French singer Sindy is a member of a collective called Team BS, which was started by a highly successful French rapper/producer who goes by the name La Fouine. The group is called Team BS because the name of La Fouine’s record label is Banlieue Sale (translation: Dirty Suburb). Most of the team consists of…

OK, there’s no denying that this song is just plain silly. I nearly laughed the first time I listened to it. But, it’s pretty original, aside from being reminiscent of M.I.A., so I decided to make it song of the day for that reason alone. Thing is, I played it a couple more times before…

Review by Michael McCarthy Photos by Joshua Bernard (and may not be used elsewhere without permission) Before I get into my review of Ghost’s show at the House of Blues in Boston this past Monday on September 28th, I must praise their opening act, a band called Purson, who hail from London, England. I’d looked…

Dirty Bangs opened the festival on Sunday, but I missed them because the trains from Lowell to Boston only run every two hours on the weekend. (You’d think they would at least run as often as weekdays with people going into Boston for sporting events, concerts, and other leisure activities on the weekends, but, nope.) I…

If you miss the days of ’90’s club music, you’re going to rejoice when you hear this one. Massive, jumpy beats that call to mind old school techno merge with trip-hop percussion on speed; it’s an audible Frankenstein’s monster, comprised of the best bits of so many things that were previously alive, died, and have…

Looking around at Boston Calling on Saturday, I found myself in awe of how much work goes into making the festival happen. Never mind hiring the artists and determining who’ll play which slots, just erecting the two stages and everything else that has to be assembled to turn City Hall Plaza from a wide open…
