Lana Del Rey To Re-Release Her First Album As Lizzy Grant
Fri Jan 27 2012 by Becky Bain
Lana Del Rey's first album — released under her real name Lizzy Grant — was available on iTunes for only two months before it was mysteriously yoinked from existence. Though it's easy to assume Del Rey (and perhaps Interscope) wanted to distance herself from her Lizzy Grant past, it appears that's not the case. “I’m re-releasing it, maybe in late summer," the "Million Dollar Man" singer revealed to BBC.

Best Songs Of 2011: The Top 10 Pop Non-Singles Of The Year
Wed Dec 14 2011 by Robbie Daw
Sure, there have been a boatload of decent singles that made an impact both on the charts and in pop culture in 2011. But there were also plenty of outstanding tracks tucked away on your favorite pop artists' albums that never got their day in the sun. Sometimes it may seem like a no-brainer when choosing which track from an LP deserves an official single release — and sometimes artists and labels get it way wrong and overlook some of their best material.
We've rounded up what we consider to be 10 such tunes below. Our selection process was simple: they were all from albums that were released in 2011 or, at the very least, the tail-end of 2010, and they all had ample opportunity to be up for single consideration this year. Alas, these diamonds were left untouched by radio (this year, at least). More »

Live-Blogging The “American Idol” Finale, Part 2: After All These Messages, We’ll Have Something Resembling A Winner
Wed May 20 2009 by Maura
So, tonight is the end of this season of American Idol, which means that after a boatload of performances by the likes of Keith Urban, Queen Latifah, Rod Stewart, and other people outside the demographic of people who can try out for the show, we’ll find out whether Adam Lambert or Kris Allen will be waking up tomorrow with this year’s title. And don’t forget, as Ryan Seacrest warned last night, the show will be running overtime! (My local newscast is scheduled for 10:07 p.m. ET, which means that we’ll be here until at least 10:43.)

Dear Journalists: Please Use This Definition Of “The Radiohead Model” Going Forward
Mon Mar 2 2009 by Maura
So last week’s little controversy over Robert Smith saying that In Rainbows‘ pay-what-you-want experiment was maybe not so good for art led to me getting annoyed with the term “The Radiohead Model,” and how it’s been misused for the purposes of arguing that art should be free, or at least pay-what-you-like. (Not to mention that it also pulls quotes out of irritable pop stars.) A reader asked me to define the term outright, instead of just ranting about its misuse—and I figured that my attempt to do so was worth a post of its own. Think of it as a public service, albeit one that’s about a year and a half after the fact!
Web Sheriff Vs. The BitTerrorists, Round 4,392: Nobody Wins (Especially Not Franz Ferdinand)
Mon Jan 19 2009 by Maura
Since the leak last week of Franz Ferdinand’s Tonight, the overly polite anti-piracy outfit Web Sheriff has been in full-on overdrive, policing leak sites to make sure that any links to Rapidshare or Megaupload go dead faster than you can say “draw.” One of those sites, the popular “release news site” (translation: aggregator for said R’share/M’upload links) RLSLog, is crying that the Sheriff done took his mission too far, because the site has been vaporized by its Web host:
