Alice Cooper - Along Came A Spider

July 29th 2008 23:12
Alice Cooper


Over the past forty odd years, US rock singer, songwriter and musician, Alice Cooper, has become one of most beloved heavy metal entertainers in the world for both his shock rock music and witty persona.

Despite having turned 60 earlier this year, age has not dimmed Cooper's passion for music - nor his love for golf for that matter - and today, he releases his 25th studio and 30th album overall, titled 'Along Came A Spider'. Co-produced by Danny Saber (Rolling Stones, Ozzy Osbourne, David Bowie, and Madonna) and Greg Hampton, the album is a classic Cooperesque "love story" about Spider, a serial killer. His trademark is wrapping his victims in silk, and his victims are specifically chosen to feed his hunger to kill. But, upon meeting his (possibly) last victim, he falls in love with her and cannot kill to complete his plan. That could be his demise.

Katy Perry - One Of The Boys

July 21st 2008 23:21
Katy Perry


US songstress Katy Perry has taken the music charts by storm with her worldwide no.1 smash hit single "I Kissed A Girl", a seriously infectious and catchy number that deals with sexual orientation and to a certain extent, promiscuity as well.

Deemed controversial by some for the nature of the song's lyrics, the controversy has only heightened the song and Perry's popularity in countries such as the US, Canada and Australia with "I Kissed A Girl" topping the local charts respectively.

Katy Perry One Of The Boys


The song is the second hit single to appear on Perry's sophomore album One Of The Boys (Perry's first studio album featured Christian songs only) and eclipses the success of her debut single "Ur So Gay" which has been hailed by some, including Madonna, while frowned upon by those who conclude the song has homophobic connotations.

Other recommended tracks include the album's third single "Hot N Cold", "Mannequin," and "Thinking Of You".
