Amy Winehouse Gets Mashed Up In The Jane Doze’s “Forever 27″: Idolator Premiere
Fri Aug 12 2011 by Becky Bain
Amy Winehouse' death at the age of 27, by many accounts, carried with it a grim familiarity. By coincidence or not, Winehouse joined the ranks of "The 27 Club", grouped for eternity with other remarkable musicians who passed before their time. The Jane Doze, a female DJ duo based in New York City, decided to celebrate the music of the club's impressive mix of artists by creating a mashup using samples from their songs. Head below for Idolator's exclusive premiere of the duo's "Forever 27". More »
Christina Aguilera Tweets First Photo From “Moves Like Jagger” Set
Sun Jul 10 2011 by Idolator Staff
Mick Jagger may hail from merry old England, but in this photo from the set of Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera's "Moves Like Jagger" video, it looks like the two The Voice judges will be repping for the USA. Okay, maybe director Jonas Akerlund has his locations mixed up, but the fashions suggest he nailed the time period. Still, one big detail is missing: Where's Mick??!?

Attention “Small Music Web Sites”: Charlie Watts Is Not Quitting The Rolling Stones
Wed Sep 2 2009 by Maura
This morning, reports surfaced that Charlie Watts had quit the Rolling Stones, with the Australian Web site Undercover quoting a “source within the Stones inner-circle” as saying “Charlie Watts has quit the band. He will never record or tour with the band again.” Undercover went on to say that to them, the news wasn’t a surprise, and that the band already had a backup drummer ready to go. Well, guess who the news did surprise? The Stones’ publicist, who issued this denial a few hours after the Undercover story went viral: More »
Would You Be Upset If Keith Richards Outlived You?
Fri Jun 19 2009 by Maura
John Nelson Palmer, a 62-year-old Colorado resident who passed away on Monday, certainly was: According to his daughter, he cursed the fact that a man who allegedly snorted his father remained on this mortal coil longer than he did with one of his dying breaths. “I can’t believe Keith Richards outlived me,” Palmer said shortly before he passed. The 65-year-old Richards hasn’t yet commented on Palmer’s last words, but here’s hoping he at least thinks to send a tasteful flower arrangement. [Aspen Daily News via Gawker] More »
It Is Time To Usher In A New Era Of Jock Jams
Thu May 28 2009 by Maura
Now that the Carolina Hurricanes have been eliminated from the NHL playoffs, Merge Records impresario Mac McCaughan has moved on from chronicling the ‘Canes’ efforts to talking about the music that arenas employ to get fans in prime freak-out mode. In 2006, he brought some albums put out by his label down to the Hurricane home base, RBC Center, in hopes of breaking through what he called its “particularly stultifying mix of Top 40 / Classic rock / Emo (? i don’t know what to call some of the songs on there) / Sports Disco,” and it worked, at least a bit; “Punch Me Harder” got played during the 2006 NHL Finals, which–coincidence?–the Hurricanes won. Anyway, McCaughan has provided his own suggested playlist for hockey arenas to the local paper, and man, is it so much better than the nu-metal and snipped bits of Eurodance that I’m used to at my sporting events. A few selections: More »
