The Danish duo
The Raveonettes have hit the scene running with the hot single "
Bang!" from their new record,
In and Out of Control, released earlier this month. The retro-inspired duo has taken cues from rock gods
Buddy Holly,
The Velvet Underground and other diverse influencers to create their unique sound.
The Raveonettes 2007 LP Lust, Lust, Lust earned rave reviews for its innovative, ethereal guitar sounds interwoven with an infectious hybrid beat of New Wave, Punk and Pop. The album produced several popular songs, including “Dead Sound,” You Want The Candy,” “Aly, Walk With Me,” and “Blush” (along with the amazing B-side “Black-White”). Their follow-up record, the EP Sometimes They Drop By, explored a new dimension of their vintage stylings, combining the cinematic ambience of composers like Angelo Badalamenti, and guitar riffs also found in the work of current guitar aficionado M. Ward.
Though serious about their rocking, The Raveonettes know how to have a fabulous time! Check out their fun videos of “The Last Dance,” “Black / White,” “Dead Sound” and “Aly, Walk With Me.”

The
Kanye West buzz is still burning up the internet. Since his shocking disruption of
Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at Sunday's awards show,
West has made several apologies to Ms. Swift, apparently not satiating the public’s interest in the story.
Kanye first apologized via his
Twitter account, followed by a televised apology on the new
Jay Leno Show, plus a personal phone call made to
Taylor Swift. You know you’re hot when the President weighs-in on the controversy!
For those of you catching-up on the brouhaha,
Kanye West stormed the stage during
Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. The reason for the disruption?
Kanye wanted to proclaim his preference for
Beyonce’s video, “
Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” Always the lady,
Swift politely stepped aside while
Kanye West was heckled by the crowd. In a display of her trademark class,
Beyonce took the opportunity, when she won Video Of The Year for “
Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” to invite
Taylor Swift on-stage to finish her speech.
After days of apologies, and Presidential off-the-cuff remarks, interest has piqued in the news of an upcoming
Kanye West and
Lady GaGa tour.
Lady GaGa was responsible for some controversy of her own at Sunday’s wild show: during an elaborate dance sequence for the hit “
Paparazzi,”
Lady GaGa startled the crowd as her performance morphed into a horror movie-esque gore fest. The singer’s artistic production was interpreted by some as an homage to
Michael Jackson’s "
Thriller," and
Madonna’s famous 1980’s
MTV VMA performance of “
Like A Virgin.”

1980's heart throb Patrick Swayze has died after a public battle with pancreatic cancer. The star made an impression in several notable films, including Dirty Dancing, Ghost and Donnie Darko. The retro soundtracks, many of which sparked comeback hits for forgotten classics, were the trademark of many Swayze’s films.
Aguably Swayze's biggest cinematic hit, the drama Ghost featured a huge resurgence in popularity for the Righteous Brothers classic “Unchained Melody.” The popular film Dirty Dancing, in which Swayze famously showcased his dancing ability, also produced an enormous hit with the film's 60's-inspired soundtrack. Dirty Dancing included some of the greatest songs of the era, including “Do You Love Me” by The Contours and “Love Is Strange” by Mickey & Sylvia. Among the retro hits featured in Swayze's films are Donnie Darko's “Notorious” by Duran Duran, and “Mad World” and “Head Over Heels” by Tears For Fears; “Stay Gold” by Stevie Wonder from The Outsiders; Dion's "Runaround Sue" from Roadhouse; Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" from Waking Up In Reno; and "If 6 Was 9" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience from Point Break.

Renowned talk show host and comedian Ellen Degeneres surprised American Idol® fans today with the announcement she will be the fourth judge, replacing original panelist
Paula Abdul. The high profile move came on the heels of last month’s surprise move by
Abdul to depart the show after eight seasons.
American Idol® was a huge comeback for the songstress, making her a star of the small screen, and the adoration of a new generation. Paula was a darling of the late
80's and early
90's pop charts, with a string of #1 hits, including “
Forever Your Girl,” “
Straight Up” and “
Cold Hearted.” Before launching her singing career,
Abdul was a sought-after dance choreographer, known for her work with
Kylie Minogue,
Janet Jackson and the
Jackson family, whom she credits with discovering her cheerleading at a Lakers basketball game. Her tender critiques of contestants became a distinctive element of American Idol®.
The immediate public reaction has been both hot and cold for Degeneres. Many bloggers have praised her as a compassionate, experienced live performer whose success lends her credibility. Others have criticized her as too soft and out of her element in the music world. Audiences can judge for themselves when the new season premieres next January.

The Fab Four are grabbing headlines this week with the hotly anticipated re-release of their entire catalog, along with
The Beatles™: Rock Band™ game. Tomorrow's music release, a complete set of re-mastered recordings, will not be available through internet MP3 retailers, which make
The Beatles one of the last hold-outs currently unwilling to sell their music in digital form.
However, music fans have a reason to be hopeful: the solo recordings of
John Lennon,
George Harrison,
Paul McCartney, and
Ringo Starr are all sold through digital music outlets. Internet stirrings also indicate that the legends may ultimately go digital with their own official music sales website.
Regardless of their digital fate,
The Beatles continue to intrigue many generations of music fans. Don’t miss excellent live versions of
George Harrison’s timeless “
Here Comes the Sun,”
Paul McCartney's "

After three months of memorials and celebrations of his life, Michael Jackson will finally be laid to rest today in Los Angeles. While the circumstances of Mr. Jackson's sudden death are still under investigation, the long journey for the pop star will culminate in a private family funeral at the famed Forest Lawn Cemetery.
From his early days as a child prodigy with the Jackson 5, to his chart dominating Thriller days, Jackson's hits are the trademark songs of several generations. The young Michael made an early impact on audiences with the breathtaking soulfulness in his cover of the great Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine,” and his soaring vocals in the Jackson 5 smash “I’ll Be There,” which was famously covered by Mariah Carey. After his success with the Jackson 5, Michael’s solo career was immediately a sensation with his chart-topping 1970’s classic “Don’t Stop ‘til You Get Enough.” No star shone brighter than Jackson’s in the 1980’s, shattering the charts with hit after hit, including “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” “Thriller,” and “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing).” The hits kept rolling in the 1990’s, with classics like “Bad,” “Smooth Criminal” and “Black or White.”
In July, the King of Pop’s friends and family gathered to honor Michael Jackson's music and life at a star-studded memorial service. The service was highlighted by musical tributes by many of his peers, including Mariah Carey with “I’ll Be There,” Jennifer Hudson with “Will You Be There,” John Mayer with “Human Nature,” and Usher with “Gone Too Soon.” Other friends of Jackson who paid tribute include Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, Queen Latifah, Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder. The most moving moment of the memorial came when Jackson’s family entered the service to one of Michael’s most emotional songs, "Man In The Mirror."
By overwhelming demand, Thumbplay has recently added a huge number of MJ's biggest hits to our tone catalog, including “Butterflies,” “Another Part Of Me,”Leave Me Alone,” “Off The Wall,” You Are Not Alone” and “Rock With You.”
Celebrate the music of the King of Pop here at Thumbplay, including his rich collection of hits with the Jackson 5.

Paula Abdul saddened American Idol® fans today with the announcement that she will not be returning for the next season of the hit show. Paula was a darling of the late
80's and early
90's pop charts, with a string of #1 hits, including “
Forever Your Girl,” “
Straight Up” and “
Cold Hearted.”
Before launching her singing career, Abdul was a sought-after dance choreographer, known for her work with
Janet Jackson and the
Jackson family, whom she credits with discovering her cheerleading at a Lakers basketball game. From there,
Paula Abdul went on to choreograph dance sequences for many feature films, including
The Doors. After her huge success as a recording artist, she penned hits for other top singers, such as
“Spinning Around” for
Kylie Minogue.
American Idol® was a huge comeback for the songstress, making her a star of the small screen, and the adoration of a new generation. Her tender critiques of contestants became a trademark of the show.
Abdul used the show as a launching pad for her recent single, “
Dance Like There's No Tomorrow,” produced with fellow judge Randy Jackson. Gone but not forgotten, Abdul made an impact on many contestants. Check out
Thumbplay’s former Idol® contestant pages for
Adam Lambert,

With the tragic passing of the King of Pop,
Michael Jackson, we are reminded of the original King,
Elvis Presley. Another creative genius and cultural icon,
Elvis Presley's groundbreaking body of work allowed
Rhythm & Blues,
Rock n Roll and
Pop music to merge forever. Until
Michael Jackson, no other artist could touch the cultural, iconic power of
Elvis, whose early hits of the
50’s and 60’s, “
All Shook Up,”“
Hound Dog,”“
Don’t Be Cruel” and “
Heartbreak Hotel,” were the cornerstone of
Rock n Roll history. His full-bodied, soulful voice also redefined older classics, such as “

Presley’s late career held many landmark

Solitaire,” and “
Burning Love.” Don’t miss

A woman whose popularity continues to grow, the reigning queen of
Country and
Bluegrass, Ms.
Dolly Parton, is still making waves with her current album
Backwoods Barbie. Could she be the perfect woman?
Dolly celebrates her Irish heritage with songs like “
We Irish,” stays proud of her backwoods upbringing on “
My Tennessee Mountain Home,”, and gets nominated for Academy Awards® for songs like the classic “
9 to 5.” Heart-wrenching songs like “
Jolene” and “
Little Sparrow” continue to inspire artists such as
The White Stripes.
One of the most covered artists,
Dolly Parton is perhaps most celebrated for her songwriting talent – many of her songs have been transformed into hits by other famous artists, such as “
I Will Always Love You” by both
Elvis Presley and
Whitney Houston, and “
Coat of Many Colors” by
Shania Twain.
Dolly has also brought her own flavor to the classic hits of other artists, including
Smokey Robinson’s “
The Tracks of My Tears,” "
She Drives Me Crazy" by the Fine Young Cannibals, Neil Young’s “
After The Goldrush” and
Collective Soul’s “
Shine.” Don’t miss

Last night's American Idol® theme was good, old rock n' roll classics. With only two weeks left until the grand finale, four lucky Idols® remain standing. First up on last night’s rock themed show, Adam Lambert reminded the judges why he is this season’s favorite, flawlessly performing
Led Zeppelin’s “
Whole Lotta Love.” Teen rocker, Alison Iraheta, received cold reviews for her performance of
Janis Joplin’s “Cry Baby.” She might have fared better with Simon’s pick,
Queen’s “
Somebody to Love,” or her original choice,
Jefferson Airplane’s “
Somebody to Love.” Simon’s prediction: Alison will coast to freedom after her duet with Adam Lambert of Guitar Hero III favorite,
Foghat’s “
Slow Ride.” Kris Allen’s subtle, folksy style did not translate well for the judges, who felt that his vocals did not meet the challenge of “Come Together” by The Beatles. Last up was Danny Gokey, valiantly trying to emulate
Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler with “
Dream On.” Though Danny’s performance was shaky, remind yourself of Steven Tyler’s brilliant vocal on this
live version of the classic. Check out other

Janis Joplin,

Sinatras last night, belting out classic crooner standards. Kris Allen impressed the judges with his suave, contemporary interpretation of
Frank Sinatra’s “
The Way You Look Tonight,” followed by Alison Iraheta’s own
Sinatra ballad “
Someone To Watch Over Me.” Matt Giraud wowed Simon with his take on
Sammy Davis, Jr.’s “
My Funny Valentine,” but then Danny Gokey came along and belted out a flawless “
Come Rain or Shine,” another
Sammy hit. Not to be outdone, the theatrical Adam Lambert nailed

Last night's
American Idol® took to the dance floor with a disco themed night. Kicking off the night was Lil Rounds with a poorly-received rendition of
Chaka Khan's "
I’m Every Woman," followed by Kris Allen with his inventive and praised take on
Donna Summer’s "
She Works Hard for the Money." Up next were two judge favorites: Danny Gokey, who seemingly can do no wrong with the judges, performing "
September" from
Earth, Wind and Fire, and Allison Iraheta powering through
Donna Summer’s "
Hot Stuff." Rounding out the night was the heavily favored rocker, Adam Lambert, doing a tender reinterpretation of
Yvonne Elliman’s "
If I Can't Have You," and the “saved” singer Matt Giraud performing “
Stayin’ Alive” by the
BeeGees. Did your favorite Idol® do justice to the originals? Download

American Idol fan sites and message boards are gaga today over the one and only
Lady GaGa, with her smoking performance on last night's
American Idol results show. Although our lovely
A.I. favorite, Megan Joy, was cast-off after a shaky performance of
Bob Marley’s “
Turn Your Lights Down Low,”
Lady GaGa brought the house down with her flamboyant, artistic performance. Belting out her #1 hit “
Poker Face,”
Lady GaGa began the show demurely playing her glass piano filled with bubbles, then busted into an outer space-themed dance number to the delight of the crowd. Widely known in the dance club circuit and performance art circles,
Lady GaGa first took the charts by the horns last year with her #1 hit "
Just Dance." She is among a rare group of artists, along with powerhouses
