Video: MIKA- “We Are Golden”

Fresh off their SNL performance, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr make their way to DC tonight (well Landover, MD really) for what I’m sure will be an unforgettable show.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Announces Newest Nominees!

I recently came across a musical dilemma when I asked myself, “What do American rock band Kiss and heartthrob hottie LL Cool J have in common?” Well sure both use an inordinate amount of tongue thrusting and display a sufficient amount of shirtlessness.
