  • K-Pop Star Psy's new 'Daddy' Video: It's a Chauvinistic Horror Show [REVIEW]

    Korean Pop star Psy has released a new music video that may actually give his first hit, "Gangnam Style" a run for its money. The new song, "Daddy" is equally up beat and the video may be even weirder than the K-pop star's first big hit, "Gangnam Style." The more I review these videos, the more I have to wonder if people actually enjoy them or if they just can't quite bring themselves to look away. This latest video is little more than a chauvisnistic horror show.

  • Karp and Foley 'Live For Hope' on 2-CD Package to Benefit Ovarian Cancer Research (REVIEW)

    Blues/Americana duo Peter Karp and Sue Foley have followed up their terrific 2012 Beyond The Crossroads with a double-live CD of each of them with their own bands. The CDs are sold as one double-disc to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. The live sets-both from 2004-show the strengths of each artist without the other.
