Last week we heard news that some activists in Sweden were plastering pictures with Rihanna's beatup face all around Stockholm. Their goal was to prevent Chris Brown from performing in their town. This week, Rihanna and Chris Brown's newest single, titled "Nobody's Business" (of course!) leaked online. We wonder how those activists feel about the track, which we have for you down...

As is the case every March, Austin, Texas, has become the center of the musical universe for one week, as the South By Southwest (SXSW) festival attracts thousands of bands, bloggers, and industry bigwigs for several days of debauchery and tunes. And, as is the case every year, the ostensibly “indie” fest has thus far been more notable for the established artists who show up for surprise...
He's not called The Boss for nothing. Bruce Springsteen's new album Wrecking Ball debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, bringing down Adele's 21 after 23 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1.
Ever since Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band announced that they would be launching a world tour on March 9th at the Apollo Theater in support of Springsteen’s upcoming Wrecking Ball album, fans have been intensely curious as to how Springsteen and the E-streeters would deal with absence of E-Street saxophonist Clarence Clemons, who died of a stroke last year. Today,...
Big news for fans of Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band—the Boss and company have announced that they will be performing at this year’s 54th Annual Grammy Awards, which, by my calculations, makes this the first time in 54 years that the Grammys will actually be worth watching.

Not only that—the Boss and his band will be launching a world tour.
It’s a day of sad news for fans of rock and roll—Clarence Clemons, saxophone player for Bruce Springsteen’s E-Street Band and rock’s “Big Man,” suffered a stroke on Sunday, leaving him paralyzed on the left side of his body.
Bruce Springsteen may never release another Born to Run (or another Darkness on the Edge of Town, for that matter) but you gotta give him some credit for being an artist who hasn't completely resigned himself to constant self-imitation. While recent releases like Magic and...
Jimmy Fallon's covers of pop songs and internet sensations which are channeled through Neil Young are not a new thing. We've seen Fallon's Young persona sing hits such as the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, General Larry Platt's "Pants On the Ground," in addition to a melodic rendition of the Double Rainbow guy on YouTube.
This time around, Fallon/Young tackles a...
Despite that fact that his first three albums (Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, and Born to freaking Run) form part of the integral canon of 1970’s rock ‘n’ roll, Bruce Springsteen announced on Tuesday night that he considers those landmark albums were nothing but prequels to his career as a rock musician and...

Consequence of Sound is reporting something that will either fall into the pop culture bin marked Amazing, or tip over into the Sweet Jesus, This is Bad box. Ray Davies, former frontman of the late, great Kinks is recording an album of Kinks covers/ duets with a myriad of artists including Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi.
The Boss is sounding pretty nice these days. We're talking about Bruce Springsteen, of course. If you have an overbearing supervisor who sneaks up on you in your cubicle, Office Space style, we're sorry about that. Unless you're a Springsteen fan, that working environment for you may still sting. It's just that it turns out not all Ticketmaster/Live Nation purchasers will have...
