Ben Folds Five
The Grammy Awards are tomorrow so I’ve had to put together a few different mini-pieces to help advance that event. These include:
Tegan And Sara accusing their mom of being high.
Melanie Fiona assessing her chances of beating Beyonce.
And the important internet grabber, “what time are the Grammys?”
I did a few other briefs recently, including:
Another SEO-bait story “what time is the Super Bowl?”
And the story of Ben Folds Five encountering characters from Fraggle Rock.

Diana Krall
Jazz singer Diana Krall gives off an air of stern-faced unshakeability, but there’s one thing that certainly makes her nervous — performing in her hometown of Naniamo, BC.
That’s what Sarah found out when she interviewed Krall for Huffington Post Music Canada recently.

Karen Elson and Kate Moss
In the way that only savvy content creators like us here at Risky Fuel are capable of, Sarah recently did a reverse-y of her recent 10 Great Musicians Turned Models feature and wrote up 11 Great Models Turned Musicians for Spinner.
It was illuminating because we now know that Kate Moss has performed with some really great bands — which is kinda infuriating. Other names on the list include Grace Jones and Jack White’s ex, Karen Elson.

Beatles on the roof
My latest “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
In this edition we celebrate the Beatles last live performance ever… on a rooftop, remember that time Michael Jackson‘s hair caught on fire, and lament The White Stripes packing it in.
