December is the time when we wrap up the year and take a look back. Every year, DJ Earworm puts together a video mashup that sums up the year in music, and he has just released his ‘United State of Pop (World Go Boom)’ for 2011. Besides Katy Perry and Rihanna, the mix features people like Adele, LMFAO, Lady Gaga, and other pop stars of the past year (but no Bieber!)

Without a doubt the weirdest record Kiss ever made, the critically trashed and commercially stillborn 1981 concept album ‘Music from the Elder,’ turns thirty years old this week.

Singer Ilenia Palmas falls during a performance on Italian TV, bringing a concert to a complete stop. We’re not sure if this is because the video was edited, or because Palmas’ fall made it too awkward to carry on. Watch below.

Scientists working at Boston’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with the funding help of hometown hero and Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, are working on a special, almost magical gel that replicates the activity of a human vocal cord. It will be able to help the damaged voices of singers and, more importantly, cancer patients! The Who vocalist Roger Daltrey is also partly funding the endeavo

In the afterglow of an extremely exciting World Series between the Texas Rangers and the St. Louis Cardinals, we’d like to turn the clock back to 2010 and tell you a story about how last year’s World Series helped to reignite Steve Perry’s interest in making music again after a long absence.

Although the “road trips” might be coming to an end, it turns out that the Grateful Dead will keep the highway open with a new series of live releases curated by Dead archivist David Lemieux.

Apple Inc. and the Beatles have been intertwined since the computer giant’s earliest days, so it’s only fitting that the band’s music should be used to pay tribute to recently deceased company founder Steve Jobs. The Flaming Lips have announced plans to debut their cover of the classic Beatles track ‘Revolution’ at the O Music Awards 2 on Oct. 31 — and record their performance on an iPad.  Read Mo

Yesterday afternoon (Wednesday, Oct. 19), rocker Jon Bon Jovi unveiled the opening of JBJ Soul Kitchen — a new restaurant in the heart of New Jersey, where the singer was born and raised.

On his new album, ‘Duets II,’ legendary crooner Tony Bennett works with scores of talented artists — but perhaps none as wildly popular as Mother Monster herself, Lady Gaga.
