By Ryan the Admin in Music, Pop · February 11, 2009 · 2 comments

Thousands of Rihanna Supporters in New York and Long Island Expected to Shred Chris Brown CDs and Posters for Pre-Valentines Day Bash.

JOIN RIHANNA’S SIDE OR IF YOU’RE UNLUCKY IN LOVE! THEN SHRED YOUR EX RIGHT BEFORE VALENTINE’S DAY IN NATIONWIDE PROTEST!!!
New York is having a “Shred Your Ex” party the day before Valentines Day. Radio Station WBLI has invited members of Rihanna’s Fan Club and other fans across the nation to join the pop star’s side along with others who are “unlucky in love.”

According to Nancy Cambino, the station’s operations manager, “Valentine’s Day should stand for love so we find it fitting to make the Friday the 13th right before Valentine’s Day a day for revenge for those who were unlucky in love. Whether you’re a Rihanna fan or not, we can all empathize with being with someone who caused love to go wrong.”

Statistically 40 percent of America will be alone on Valentines Day. Divorce rate is at an all-time high in the last few years, and radio station BLI wants to bring America together for a common cause.

Kylie Minogue to Release Remix Collection on 1/29/2009

By Ryan the Admin in Music, Pop · December 9, 2008 · No comments

KYLIE MINOGUE TO RELEASE BRAND-NEW REMIX COLLECTION ON JANUARY 27th, 2009, ON ASTRALWERKS RECORDS

BOOMBOX: THE REMIX ALBUM 2000-2008 COLLECTS CLASSIC AND PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS REMIXED BY CHEMICAL BROTHERS, FISCHERSPOONER, MYLO, AND SEBASTIEN LEGER

AUSSIE POP STAR’S 10TH STUDIO ALBUM, X, NOMINATED FOR 2009 GRAMMY AWARD FOR “BEST ELECTRONIC/DANCE ALBUM”

(New York, NY – Dec. 9th, 2008) – International pop icon Kylie Minogue will continue to rule the dancefloor with the release of a brand-new collection of remixes of her classic songs, entitled Boombox The Remix Album 2000-2008, on January 27th on Astralwerk Records. The collection features remixes by some of the world’s most sought-after producers, including Chemical Brothers, Fischerspooner, Mylo, and Sebastian Leger.

The Aussie superstar has attracted a loyal U.S. fanbase drawn to her dreamy electro-pop dancefloor fillers ever since the release of her 2001 breakout hit album Fever. She has racked up successive Billboard Club chart-toppers such as “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” the Grammy-Award winning “Come Into My World,” “Love At First Sight,” and “Slow,” all of which receive the remix treatment on Boombox. Some of these mixes have only existed as promotional vinyl 12″ singles, like “Love At First Sight” (Kid Creme Vocal Dub) and “Red Blooded Woman” (Whitey Mix), while others are highly sought-after rarities, like the much boot-legged Kylie/New Order mash-up “Can’t Get Blue Monday Out of My Head,” and previously unreleased tracks, like “The One” (Bitrocka Remix) and “Boombox” (LA Riots Remix). Now old fans and recent converts alike will be able to experience the full range of Minogue’s dancefloor catalog in all its party-starting glory.

Boombox comes on the heels of a busy 2008, which Minogue began by being honored by the Queen with an OBE (Order of the British Empire) for her services to music and winning a BRIT Award for “Best International Female Solo Artist.” In April, Minogue released her tenth studio album in the U.S., entitled X, which is her first all-new set of songs since 2003′s Body Language. The album has been nominated for a 2009 Grammy Award for “Best Electronic/Dance Album,” earning Minogue her fifth Grammy Award nomination. She also embarked on a three-month, 50-date European tour, entitled KYLIEX2008.

Tina Fey is a comedic genius. I can’t imagine what this show would be like if she wasn’t on it. Originally, Tina didn’t plan to be Liz Lemon, but NBC insisted. I can see why. She’s perfect for the part. They say, write what you know. Tina does just that when she writes every episode of 30 Rock. Some people may not know that she was inspired to write this based on her experiences as the first, female head writer of Saturday Night Live, a gig she only gave up because her schedule on SNL and her 30 Rock schedule overlap.

Let’s forget about what Tina Fey has done for SNL in the past month, with her Sarah Palin skits. Honestly, as a writer there, Fey made us see there was hope for a show that’d been on since before I was born. In the early years through the early 90s, SNL was all about laughs. Around the end of the 90s and into the 2000s, the show sort of fell apart. People were constantly saying, “oh this will be the end of SNL” and we believed it because it went through a period where it flat out sucked.

Tina was with the show during some of the dark years, but as head writer, she started bringing the stories back to the people. Those who’d given up on SNL started watching again and it’d be undeniably wrong to say Tina Fey had nothing to do with this. Tina has proven she can do just about anything she puts her mind to, so it isn’t farfetched to think she was a major force behind the show’s rejuvenation. Even today, she isn’t regularly working for SNL, but her Sarah Palin skits have seen the highest number of viewers for the show in years!

Tina Fey really has done it all. She was a Second City Troupe performer and writer at their famed Chicago location. She has written successfully in a variety of mediums, television (30 Rock, SNL), screenplays (Mean Girls) and she has worked as a performer/actress in movies, on television and in sketch comedy. She’s also a wife, mother, and overall likable person.

“Head of the Class” Audio: Scooter Smiff ft. Chris Brown

By Ryan the Admin in Music, Rap & Hip Hop · October 9, 2008 · No comments

To set up the release, Scooter Smiff has whetted fan’s musical appetites with buzz releases of the title track “Head Of My Class,” featuring Chris Brown and “Fresh To Def.” With producers as diversified as Swizz Beatz, Eric Hudson, and Polow Da Don working on the debut release of Head Of My Class, it promises to be the ultimate tour-de-force for the urban teen music set.

If working on a new CD and the recent 52-city “Up Close and Personal” Chris Brown tour were not enough, Scooter Smiff is also an accomplished actor who played Daniel on the third season of the hit show Lost and makes his dramatic feature flick debut with Gardens Of The Night (opposite John Malkovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Tom Arnold and Evan Ross), where he plays a abused child named Young Donnie, will be hitting screens in the Winter.

And before you ask the question Scooter Smiff gets accosted with by fans the most, let’s let Scooter himself set the record straight: “I am called Scooter because of my grandma—when I was little, I couldn’t crawl, I just scooted, so she nicknamed me Scooter and it stuck!”

Scooter Smiff hopes to be doing a tour of his own around the release of Head of My Class and says he will also be hooking up again with Chris Brown on the road at some point.
