When studying the history of music and looking back at a timeline of significant moments atonal aficionados often recall tender moments like when Sinatra slide across a smoky Vegas stage, Woodstock ’69, Michael Jackson’s Solo Glove, the debut of Hip Hop, Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress and so on.

The entire album was created using an iPad.   [Read more...]

Recently, I had a “we agree to disagree” discussion with a friend over who was bigger – HRH Princess Diana or Michael Jackson?

I don’t suppose you could guess which side I was on. But in case you cannot – I was on the side of HRH Princess Diana.

The reason?

The mere fact, that if Michael Jackson nearly broke the Internet, 9-11 or the death of Princess Diana would have surely killed it.

I guess, the meat of what I was trying to get at was the impact, or lack thereof, of social media. [Read more...]

No doubt, he was set to take [Read more...]
