The Prophet of Pop

There are tons of reality shows on television.  There’s dancing, singing, juggling blowtorches, and people yelling at each other.  So, why should you watch the Sing-Off?  Because it’s hosted by early 2000s heart throb Nick Lachey.  Need more reasons?  Alright! 1. It’s unique – A capella music isn’t a new thing, but it’s never been…

Click here to follow Beliefnet Music on Twitter! On the main website I wrote an article about Steven Rosenbaum, the director of the 9/11 video for Live’s song “Overcome.”  If you haven’t seen it, check it out here.  I was pretty happy with it, which doesn’t happen often!  As usual, there was some stuff left…

I recently had the opportunity to talk with two of the members of the stirringly-spiritual art rock band Switchfoot.  In case you haven’t seen the interview, you can check it out here.  Interviewing artists is by far my favorite part of this job, but it isn’t often that interviews are as much fun as this…

Yesterday would have been Freddie Mercury’s 65th birthday.  The iconic rock singer and frontman passed away after a long bout with HIV in 1991, gone much too soon from the world that he managed to influence so much.  As a young child I was familiar with Queen’s biggest hits, it would be years before I…

Who doesn’t love free and new music?  Yesterday two of my favorite artists, The Gracious Few and Ben Folds, unleashed some new stuff on the internet.  Nothing major, two new songs, but hey new songs man!!   The Gracious Few, which is made up of members of Live and Candlebox, treated fans to a free download of…

It’s been a hard year for musicians. Clarence Clemons, Amy Winehouse, Dan Peek, and now Jani Lane have all passed on.  Jani, lead singer of the ’80s hair metal sensation Warrant, died yesterday of unknown causes.  Warrant was one of the poster groups for ’80s metal success, combining rock talent with solid vocals and catchy hooks.…

In case you haven’t been able to tell (you have), this blog has been in a bit of a flux lately.  Since coming on full-time at Beliefnet I’ve been doing a lot – music interviews, updating faith pages, Twittering, writing about video games, talking smack, etc.  While the blog has been a great place to…

Today MTV turned 30 years old, and I feel ancient. It’s hard to believe looking at the network now, but I have a lot of great memories of MTV.  Growing up through its “golden years” had its perks.  While MTV has fallen on its face as a music video service, I will always have fond…

It seems that working in Entertainment means learning something new nearly every day.  Today I learned, along with anyone who read his blog, that Russell Brand is a caring and intelligent person.  I learned this through his  eye opening and emotion-inducing post on the death of Amy Winehouse.  Read it here (warning on language).  A couple…

On Saturday my generation got it’s first major induction into the “27 Club” – Amy Winehouse.  Winehouse, whose career had been plagued by drug taking, drug addiction, and singing hits about drugs, died of unknown causes in her hotel room at the age of – you guessed it – 27.  With that, she joined a…
