Remembering Whitney Houston…(Videos)
My favorite Whitney Houston songs are from the movie The Preacher’s Wife. One time in college, my roommate and I performed a drunken rendition of the soundtrack while jumping on our beds like two-year olds, much to the chagrin of our other roommates.

Album Review: First Aid Kit “The Lion’s Roar” 1/19/11 (Score 82%)
By Alexis Simpson It’s interesting how Noize favorites, Jack White and Conor Oberst, both chose to work with First Aid Kit this year. Conor Oberst toured with them, and Jack White produced and released a 7″ record featuring First Aid Kit on Third Man Records. Jack and Conor were obviously on to something! First Aid Kit put out a great first album, and their second effort just as good. The duo is made up of Swedish singers, Klara and Johanna Söderberg. The girls are known for their song writing, blended melodies, simple/pure sound, and rich vocals. The album could have used a few more standout ethereal-type tracks and elimination of some…

Lyrics to Nothing To You : Well my kind’s been around forever And I claim to be one of the few But the lost cause of words walks away with my nerves ‘Cause I’m gay as a choir boy for you You got hair that recalls me of rivers Runs softly while you dream of…

Song of the Moment: Lana Del Rey “Video Games”
http://www.lanadelrey.com/ In case you’ve been living under a rock the past few months and have missed the BUZZ about Lana Del Ray-this week’s Song of the Moment is Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games.” Her album comes out at the end of the month and it’s gonna be huge. She’s been taking a bit of a beating due to a recent image change to better fit in with the industry. Others can’t handle that she looks/sounds like sex and has a rich daddy. Haters gonna hate…Regardless, the girl has skills and it’ll be interesting to watch her emerge. She performed last Saturday on SNL and has been receiving some harsh criticism,…
