Published April 17th, 2009 by Karen

Ok, so by now everyone has probably read that record producer Phil Spector has been found guilty of killing Lana Clarkson by shooting her in the face.

Obviously, we can’t defend that action.

But, we can take a look back at Spector’s pre-murder career-and an impressive career it was. Spector hit the big time producing everyone from the Ronettes and Righteous Brothers to the Beatles and the Ramones.

Do you know what the last song Phil produced was? Or which song was covered by a ’90s indie rock icon? Keep reading for the answers!

The following songs and videos are just a few highlights from Spector’s back pages, mostly songs he produced, but some he actually played on-maybe you have some Spector in your record collection right now

Check out our Top Phil Spector tunes and tell us which is your favorite.

Kicking things off is a video from Spector’s own band, the Teddy Bears.

Boycott Chris Brown. Tina Turner: Please Straighten Rihanna Out!

Published March 2nd, 2009 by Karen

Boycott Chris Brown's music?

Ok, enough is enough!

The story of Chris Brown’s alleged Grammy-day attack on girlfriend Rihanna has been making headlines for nearly a month now. Photos of Rihanna’s gruesome injuries have made the rounds online, and so have Chris Brown’s vague, lame apologies.

Now, there are reports that the pair of horrible singers are patching up their equally disastrous relationship.

Why?!

It has only been a few weeks since this attack. If Brown really did knock this girl around the way it seems, then it’s sure going to take more than a few public relations maneuvers (i.e. anger management classes and half-hearted apologies) to fix things.

Rihanna’s friends and family need to talk some sense into her before it is too late. Maybe they won’t speak up because they’re afraid of offending Rihanna and her bank account?

Checkout-lane rumors that the singer was pregnant with Brown’s baby at the time of the assault only make this reconciliation story more disturbing.

C’mon, Tina Turner, give this kid a call and straighten her out.

Maybe Twitter some wisdom to Whitney Houston while you’re at it. (Bobby Brown gives us the creeps.)

Of course, this talentless dope is innocent until proven guilty, but Continue reading »

UPDATE: Chris Brown Sucks. Allegedly Punched, Bit, Threatened to Kill Rihanna

Published February 11th, 2009 by Karen

We hate to convict Chris Brown in the court of public opinion, but things just keep looking worse for Chris Brown with each passing minute.

New information detailed by E! and the Huffington Post here reports that “Kiss Kiss” singer Chris Brown made death threats against Rihanna during, or just prior to, the alleged assault that took place on Sunday when the two argued and Rihanna reportedly angered Brown further by throwing his car keys from the window.

Reports also state that while Rihanna initially refused medical treatment at the scene of the attack, the 20-year-old “Disturbia” singer did cooperate with police and allow officers to photograph the “horrific” injuries allegedly caused by Brown punching and biting her. It’s likely only a matter of time before the Rihanna attack photos are made public (or are leaked online, anyway).

Brown turned himself in to police Sunday, and was charged with making felony criminal threats. Apparently, they were death threats. A statement released to E! by Rihanna’s spokeswoman simply says that the singer is “well.”

More details as they emerge…
