• Wynn Las Vegas Announces 2015 Artist Roster Featuring Avicii, Diplo, Skrillex, Kaskade, Zedd and Others

    The Las Vegas arms race is heating up with strip veteran Wynn Las Vegas announcing its complete artist roster for 2015. A few names have already trickled out so far this year, with Kaskade making a big announcement of his homecoming to Wynn for a multi-year residency, and a report on Calvin Harris's new residency at Hakkasan by "Askmen" revealed Avicii's intentions to return to Wynn and at a higher price tag then Harris's reported $400,000 per gig.

  • Mikal Cronin New Music and Tour: Rocker Releases New Song and Announces Album 'MKIII' [Look & Listen]

    Mikal Cronin may not exactly be the same kind of guitar-centric act as Led Zeppelin but the Laguna Beach rocker sure takes a clue from Jimmy page and co. when it comes to naming his albums: He just announced the release of his third LP, MKIII. That follows in the footsteps of 2013's excellent MKII and his 2011 debut Mikal Cronin. At least his album art is evolving along the way. MKII only featured a photo of clouds while MKIII features an ink-wash (which kind of looks like clouds?) and the performer's glum-looking face.

  • 'The Voice' Winner Craig Wayne Boyd Wrote A New Song About His Experiences on Blake Shelton's Team on Show

    The Voice season seven winner Craig Wayne Boyd is already making a bit of a splash in the country music world. His coronation single "My Baby's Got a Smile on Her Face" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, he performed at The Grand Ol Opry and he's set to appear on the country festival circuit next year with a performance at Faster Horses 2015. And now, he's set to release his new album. And at least one song is inspired by his journey on the hit NBC reality competition that is helping to make him a star.

  • Dropkick Murphys Tell Republican Governor Scott Walker to Stop Using "I'm Shipping Up to Boston"

    If you're a working class influenced punk rock band, the idea of an anti-labor, anti-labor politician using your music at political rallies may just make you a little bit angry. Enter in the fable of Dropkick Murphys. The Massachusetts band's big hit "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" is now getting played at political events for Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, and Dropkick Murphys are not happy.

  • Morrissey Declines Autograph Because 'He Has Ebola': Singer Working on New Album in Los Angeles?

    Morrissey busted out some of his signature, strange antics recently at Los Angeles International Airport. A fan claimed that Moz declined signing an autograph because "he has Ebola." The former Smiths frontman typically is not one for fan interaction, so while the behavior comes as no surprise, the choice of excuse is pretty interesting. At least it is timely -- and there is speculation that he is working on a new album in L.A.

  • 'Full House' Theme Song Gets Royal Reunion Treatment from Bob Saget, John Stamos and More [WATCH]

    The Full House theme song got royal treatment over the weekend when the sitcom's cast sang it while attending the birthday party for show creator Jeff Franklin. Bob Saget, John Stamos and Lori Loughlin were among the talent from the show to take the stage, as well as Candace Cameron (D.J. Tanner on the show). As Billboard points out, the reunion performance didn't include either Mary Kate or Ashley Olsen, nor was second uncle Dave Coulier at the gig.

  • Kanye West, Paul McCartney & Rihanna "FourFiveSecond" Gets Funky, Horn-Filled Remix From Lido [REVIEW]

    Kanye West pulled another shocker when he released his latest collaboration alongside Paul McCartney titled "FourFiveSeconds," calling upon the vocal talents of Rihanna to assist with the chorus. The acoustic, relaxed original was a eye-brow raiser to Rihanna fans who have been waiting for their queen to deliver more dance-pop hits, but it made perfect sense coming from the minds of Kanye West and Paul McCartney. A track as open and inviting as "FourFiveSeconds" was begging for a remix and it gone one from Norwegian producer Lido, who has become famous online for his work with Cashmere Cat and sensual soulful r&b influenced electronic remixes of songs.

  • Lady Gaga and Daft Punk Collaborator Giorgio Moroder Working Together on Pop Star's New Album

    Lady Gaga continues to roll out collaborators for her new album, or in this case Giorgio Moroder presented himself as working with the performer, telling PopJustice that he had about five or six tracks prepared for presentation. Moroder must be in demand among pop stars right now, as the Gaga revelation slipped while he was discussing his work with Britney Spears as part of his own solo record.

  • Sam Smith "Stay With Me": Vocalist Pays Tom Petty Royalties on Hit Single for "I Won't Back Down" Similarity

    Sam Smith's "2014" was one one of the bestselling songs of 2014, and perhaps its had a little too much in common with "I Won't Back Down," another classic by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. It was revealed earlier this week that the soul vocalist has been paying royalties to Petty as a songwriter for the song, although not with all of the legal drama we often associate with similar tunes, such as the ongoing lawsuit between the Marvin Gaye estate and Robin Thicke comparing the 2013 hit "Blurred Lines" with that soul singer's "Got To Give It Up."
