      Paul McCartney: An Icon Ages Gracefully

      Posted by Damianmann from NPR

      It's hard to quantify Paul McCartney's impact on music history: The former Beatle has written some of pop music's most indelible songs, both alone and with John Lennon, and become a knighted icon. He's listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the most successful musician and composer in popular music history, with massive popularity in The Beatles, with Wings and as a solo artist.

    • Learn Guitar From Mission of Burma's Roger Miller!

      Posted by Damianmann from pitchforkmedia.com

      Though the guitarist/singer/songwriter's place in the annals of music history is fairly secure as a member of legendary post-punk band Mission of Burma, he still has to earn his keep financially. It's a little sad, but he has come up with an awesome solution: give guitar lessons. Even better, announce them in a post on the Boston area craigslist.

      Posted by HeatherOrato

      Mr. Gordie Johnson is best known up north as the former frontman of the hugely successful Canadian band Big Sugar, which was famous for its orchestra of unlikely collaborators making the sounds of rock and roll, blues, funk, pop, honkey tonk, country and reggae, all rolled into one. After a 13-year run ending with Johnson's disillusionment with the increasingly vicious Canadian music industry, Big Sugar broke up. Johnson headed south...

    • MySpace, MySpears: Hounding Britney

      Posted by Orato

      Getting a Britney Spears exclusive doesn’t necessarily require going undercover at Promises Treatment Facility, but it seemingly does require some creativity. I didn’t get the shocking story, but I did sniff out Ms. Spears, and something smelled a little funny. But I suspected I was on the right track, because I had my sources.

      Shades Of Elvis: Living Like The King

      Posted by Orato

      I’ve been an Elvis fan since I was a little kid and I’ve been impersonating him since 1994; I did a few impersonations in high school and then I discovered Karaoke in 1992. One night, I’d done a song called “It’s Only Make Believe” by Conway Twitty, and people thought Elvis recorded it – He never did record it, though he probably sang it.

    I actually knew Hilly from the NYC Hardcore days and I just have to say, it is the end of an era.
