Mark Foster from Foster The People kicked out of Prince show

Yeah Prince can be kind of a dick, but he’s very serious about no photos during his show, to which I can attest. Mark Foster of Foster the People felt the brunt of that policy last night at The Sayers Club in Los Angeles, where he was briefly kicked out of the show for reportedly using his cell phone. Watch him temper his sincere apologies with name dropping his own band in the video below (via TMZ).

Wow...

RIP Flyleaf

Flyleaf singer Lacey Sturm has announced that she will be departing the band, effective immediately. The band has also announced that ex-Vedera vocalist Kristen May has stepped in for all future tour dates supporting the upcoming album New Horizons, which comes out next week on Oct. 30th. “When listening to New Horizons, I would hope that fans would be able to lose themselves in the story of each of these songs and form their own connections to them—as we have in the band,” remarked bass player Pat Seals. “There is a great deal of our souls laid bare on this record, and I feel like it really comes through on the tracks.”

I absolutly loved their song all around me.

78violet Finish Recording Album

Aly & AJ just got back from NYC after finishing recording for their new album! The album won’t be released until the first half of 2013 so I assume that their producer David Kahne will be tweaking and adding the finishing touches to the album until then. Judging from the “8 Hours” clip the girls released last week it looks as if the album is practically done. So exciting! Congratulations Aly & AJ! We know it’s been a long journey for you to get to this point and we are so proud. We’ll be listening to new songs before we know it. So between the album getting released and now, Aly will be working on a new film project. She found out about it on the 29th of September and met up with the film’s director while in New York. The film starts shooting in about a weeks time. She hasn’t given much information about it yet but the minute we find out you guys will be the first to know! Also Long Time Gone has still to be released in cinemas so fans have that to look forward to as well. As for AJ, we’re not so sure what she will be doing. Judging from the fight scene choreography we put up a while ago she has been busy auditioning for films. Can’t wait to see what her next project will be!

The Wanted apologize to Xtina

They may be "wanted" by teenage girls around the world, but when it comes to Christina Aguilera, The Wanted is anything but irresistible.

In April, the group -- consisting of members Tom Parker, Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Nathan Sykes and Jay McGuinness -- got in a heated feud with "The Voice" coach after Parker referred to her as "a total b***h" when they met her on the NBC talent show. "She might not be a bitch in real life, but to us, she was a total bitch," he told New York radio station Now FM. "She just sat there and didn't speak to us. Wouldn't even look at us."

"She was quite rude," Kaneswaran added. "Who does that?"

But nowadays, the guys regret lashing out on Aguilera and say there has been plenty of hate mail sent their way since they spoke their mind.

"Oh, yes!" George told The Huffington Post exclusively when asked if they faced any blowback following their comments. "I think there was total backlash," Parker, who issued an apology shortly after the controversy, added.

"I watched an interview with her on "Chelsea Lately" the other night and she came across really, really nice so I was a bit like, 'Oh s**t!'" he continued. "Maybe she was she just having a bad day."

"He was, so..." George chimed in, revealing Parker was a bit under the weather the day he blabbed about Aguilera's attitude.

"Yeah, I was having a terrible day," Parker confessed to HuffPost. "I was on my period ... oh shoot, sorry I apologize!"

These guys just can't seem to keep their mouths shut, but its nothing short of of entertaining!

Xtina's Rolling Stone interview

Christina Aguilera admits that her last album, 2010's Bionic, didn't connect with her fans. "It had a lot of amazing sounds and a futuristic twist to it," she says. "But if you weren't a music person, it was just going to go over your head. A lot of the collaborations were with people that were either very underground or weren't necessarily from the pop world. I really think it was far ahead of its time and it'll be fully appreciated in the years to come."

On her follow-up, Lotus – her first LP since getting a divorce and becoming a judge on The Voice – Aguilera goes for a sleeker mainstream pop sound, working with producers like Max Martin, Lucas Secon and Shellback. "I don't really push myself to have those formulaic commercial successes," Aguilera says. "It's dishonest and it starts lacking creativity. I embraced being a pop artist, but I like doing it on my own terms, at my own pace."

Aguilera sees Lotus (in stores on November 9th) as a companion piece of sorts to her 2002 album, Stripped. "It really takes me back to that time," she says. "I was shedding a skin in a sense. I had been pigeonholed as formula-pop driven, or molded or forced to be something I didn't feel was true to me. I was labeled from 'Genie in a Bottle,' and I had a lot of things to say and share as a 21-year-old woman. Now I've come full circle a decade later. I had a greatest hits album and I experienced a decade in this crazy business. It's a time of celebration, of embracing being a pop star."

The songs span a range of emotions, from the pain of loss through a spiritual rebirth to a celebration of life. "It's a very multi-layered, very heartfelt record," she says. "I wanted to share all the different sides of me, as a woman, and as a creator and an artist. Part of that is being a mom. Part of that is sexuality. Part of that is vulnerability. Part of that is aggression and angst. All those pieces make me who I am."

On the piano ballad "Blank Page," Aguilera vents her pain and regret. "Lord knows I've been no saint," she sings. "Regret choices I made . . . I was scared, unprepared for the things you said/I'm a blank page waiting for life to start." The club-ready "Army of Me" shows off her defiant side: "What you thought was your best decision became your worst mistake," she sings defiantly on the track. "That song is a 'Fighter 2.0,"" Aguilera says. "I want it to inspire a whole new generation. I have six-year-old fans that weren't even around for 'Genie in a Bottle' or even 'Fighter.'"

Lotus marks Aguilera's first time working with Swedish pop-radio wizard Max Martin. "I'm not sure we would have been able to create the same music had we connected earlier," she says. "He did all the Britney and N'Sync songs, and I was doing something a little more daring. But we've gained respect for each other."

The most shocking moment on Lotus is the bonus track "Shut Up," a furious screed against haters in which Aguilera repeatedly chants "If you don't like it you can suck my dick." "That's for my fans to blast in their cars," she says. "I know a lot of them get heated and pissed off whenever they hear some bull**** rumor or bull**** story, and it's a great venting song for anyone that is having a bad day or not liking their boss. It's playful and tongue in cheek."

Christina has been pulling double duty recently with her work on The Voice and her new album, and she's looking forward to temporarily handing off her rotating chair to Shakira for Season Four next spring. "They were going to do back-to-back seasons," she says. "I knew I had to get back in touch with myself as an artist. I really put myself on the back burner doing that show. I also worried that my advice would start to get stale and redundant. I have to go away for a second and live life. Being on The Voice has been amazing, but I need to see my friends and go on the road again."

Aguilera called off a planned 2010 tour in support of Bionic, but she hopes she will tour behind this album. "We are thinking about that," she says. " But with my schedule everything is complicated – and it's a whole different ballgame now that I have a son. So, again, we'll do that on my own terms and within due time."

Big Thanks to Cold As Fire baby on BMK.  I love following these all the time.

I said I was gonna do it...

Now its time to do some reviews

Up First is Zedd- Spectrum (3 and 1/2 stars)
When I heard the sample I loved it.  But After listening to it over and over I don't love but i like it.  It can get annoying after awhile if you repeat over and over. But overall it's a good song and has a nice beat.  The voice can be super annoying at times and other times it's super cool.  i guess it just depends on my mood Haha.



Second is Mia Martina feat. Adrian Sina- Go Crazy (4 and 1/2 stars)

This song is really really good.  I love the pulsating beat and the voices just hypnotic to listen to.  I can repeat this song over and over not get tired of it.  I walways blast this on repeat when I have it in my car for for a workout.



Third is Tiësto & Diplo- C'mon (Catch 'em By Surprise) (feat. Busta Rhymes) (5 Stars)
 
This song is the definition of amazing.  I can never ever get tired of this song.  Busta Ryhmes has a sick flow on the song along with Tiesto and Diplo creating a sick beat.  Just a simply amazing song to dance or workout to.



Fourth is Wonder Girls- Like Money (5 Stars)
This song is amazing on so many levels. From the beat, Akon's verse (I usually can't STAND him), the rap, and the melodies the song is simply amazing.  But the adlibs at the end of the song is so powerful and strong.  It's great for parties and it's definitly going on rotation at the gym.  Also, I have repeated the shit out it and I am still not tired of the song in the slightest.


These are my firs batch of reviews I hope you like them and post what you think.
