10 Inappropriate Songs To Play at the Pope's Inaguration
Pope Francis I will be inaugurated as Pope on March 19, and ultimately it will be a very important and serious occasion. So, in order to prevent any really awkward moments, here are 10 songs that should not be played at any cost.

10. "Running with the Devil" Van Halen

One would hope that the new Pope doesn't "live...like there's no tomorrow." That would lead to some awkward thoughts on the afterlife.

9. "Dear God" XTC

This song is about questioning faith in religion, and features lyrics like "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are just somebody's unholy hoax."

8. "God's Away on Busi...

Go Behind the Camera with Space Capone:

Tell me a little about the song, "Why You Wanna Say Goodnight." What's it about, and what inspired its writing?

I was going through a Prince phase when I wrote this song. I wanted the song to be slow but still maintain a poppy-ness to it, just like a Princ...

CD Review: The Ambersons - "The Magnificent Ambersons"

The Magnificent Ambersons

With this (almost) self-titled EP, The Ambersons announce their arrival on the scene with a subtle blend of indie music foundations surrounded by an overlaid mixture of roots and electronica. The unusual amalgamation of genres means that the word 'Magnificent' added to the title isn't too far from the truth.

Opener “A Little Love” is an excellent scene-setter, building to a layered ending replete with a full sounding 'whoa' backing chorus. “The New Adventures of Superman” follows, bringing together a sound reminiscent of The Magic Numbers and the ...

CD Review: Tilman Harley - "To Basics"

March 8th, 2013 5:56pm EST
Tilman Harley
There’s something charming about Tilman Hartley’s debut album. It feels thrown together, messy, and unfinished even. But it’s precisely this lack of discipline that makes To Basics unlike any album we’ve heard yet this year.

It takes the usual elements of indie – guitars, melodies, instrumentation, arrangements – and structures songs in a familiar way, but there’s a feel of self-production to this that makes it stand out. It’s a distinctive approach, and one that might wear over a long period, but as a standalone release it makes the album one worth hearing.

There no doubt that opinion wi...

David Bowie's 'The Stars (Are Out Tonight)' Proves That He Hasn't Aged A Bit

February 27th, 2013 9:30am EST
David Bowie - The Stars
"Where Are We Now?" is amongst the most beautiful, tender, and heartbreaking songs that David Bowie has ever released. The song is contemplative and mellow, and many fans of the Thin White Duke worried that his new album was going to be tamed and mellowed by his age. After all, almost nothing has been heard from Bowie since his heart attack ten years ago, and people really began to worry that the end was nigh for Bowie's recording career.

Luckily, "The Stars" is a triumphant return to form, a rocking anthem that would have fit on many of Bowie's 70's hit records, and shows that Bowie hasn'...
