<p>Someone, somewhere, is rolling their eyes at the fact that Lady Gaga and Doechii recorded a new song for The Devil Wears Prada 2, when Gaga’s songs “Fashion” — both the ARTPOP deep cut and the little-known bop she did for Confessions of a Shopaholic — are right there. But the world could use a little spring in its step, so here comes “Runway,” a bouncy collab between the two divas. The tune, which arrived yesterday (April 9), was co-written […]</p>

<p>Gavin Rossdale is not one for sitting still. In fact, he’s the extreme opposite. Anyone at a Bush show lately – and he’s done a dozen or more in New England alone in recent years – might get the sense they’ve been transported three decades or so back, as the frontman is not only a moving target onstage for the bulk of the gig, and then some. We’re not talking a lean over the guardrail to slap some hands, either. […]</p>

Afrika Bambaataa has passed away. He was 67 and had been battling cancer. As you may know, Bambaataa was a core creator of hip hop, stemming from the parties he threw in the Bronx in the early and mid 70s. In 1973, he co-founded the Universal Zulu Nation, the hip-hop organization with a motto of “Peace, Love, Unity, and Having Fun.” He also cut a number of seminal hits including "Planet rock" that sampled Kraftwerk. Bambaataa's later years were marred with scandal. Ten years ago, Ronald Savage, an activist, politician, and former music industry executive, accused Bambaataa of repeated sexual assault and molestation. Similar allegations followed from a number of men, many of who were youths at the time of the alleged conduct. Bambaattaa was then removed from his leadership position in the Zulu Nation.
