Diamond Rings
When you’re a Canadian who fashions himself as a fabulous pansexual dance rock giant the one problem you don’t want to have is issues modesty. As in being too modest as opposed to not modest enough.
Diamond Rings is going through that right now. At least, that’s what he told Sarah in an interview for Spinner.

Car Crash Songs
One of the many songs that Sarah slays the old men with at karaoke is The Shangri-Las “Leader Of The Pack,” a tragic tale of love gone wrong by way of motorcycle accident.
Because that sort of morbidity is fundamentally appealing to her, Sarah found 10 other really sad musically driving tales and turned them into a list for Spinner.

Tina Turner and Mick Jagger
My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
This week’s column, though filled with all sorts of interesting information, is mostly a set-up to talk about how smokin’ hot a performer Tina Turner was back in the day. I know that’s hard to believe for anyone who only knows her for her hokey ’80s ballads, but seriously. I’ll help you out with this clip from ’71 below.

Here’s the latest batch of news stories I’ve done for the Spinner AOL Huffington Post empire:
The wonderful people of The Dears, who rank somewhere between 5th and 23rd best act in the world on any given day, have put out a new live album. They recorded it in Mexico because Mexico is crazytown banana pants for them.
That drunk dude who sung “Bohemian Rhapsody” in the back of a cop car? He had his day in court. And he lost.
Hilotrons did a video for “She Knows My Condition (Part 2)” so we premiered it.
Ariane Moffatt, who Sarah totes loves, debuted her “Too Late” video with us, too. It’s nominally about a chick bicycle gang. Hot.

Neil Young
Neil Young recently put out an album called Psychedelic Pill which, as the name suggests, is a bit of a bug out, maaaan.
With that in mind we were inspired to track down some of the most psychedelic things Neil’s done in his life — including onstage Jawas, Charles Manson songs and the ending to Journey Through The Past.
The result: 10 Great Psychedelic Neil Young Moments. Which you can find on Spinner by clicking here.
Enjoy the trip, dude.
