Last night at her stop in San Jose, Kelly Clarkson teamed up with her tour opener Eric Hutchinson to sing Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You.” Though this duet doesn’t rank up there with our favorite Kelly Clarkson covers—they’re mainly just having some fun, dancing around the stage, rockin' out to some MJ—it's another example of her probably under-appreciated...

Sycamore Meadows, the latest release from Butch Walker, is the only album of his that I don’t own. The only one that I did not run out to the store and buy on its release date or pre-order online. I hadn’t even heard anything off of the record other than the lead single, “The [...]

Familiar, functional well crafted folk songs, A CAVE, A CANOO, the third’s album from Portland singer/songwriter Shelley Short sound like a charm, a fragile, simple, minimalist and odd collection of experimental folk songs. The record is flush with juxtapositions: Short’s girly, Joanna-Newsom-sings-Patsy-Cline voice is set against a warm bed of accordion, pianos, plucked guitars and, [...]...

By Bry Schulz3 1/2 Stars:When I think of Gina Gershon, I think of her lesbian roles in movies like “Bound” and “Showgirls.” She's sort of an Indie darling and gives off a total "not to be effed with" vibe.

I'd been thinking about cutting my hair for months. Finally I took the leap! Thanks Erin for inspiring my cut! Oh yes, the adorable little fuzzball is Patsy Cline!
