Pop Musicology - "The Second Drummer Drowned"

Pop Musicology - July 2008

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".

Swallowing a microphone

July 15th 2008 02:06
The wedding singer angry and drunk
While it might seem like a good idea to have the microphone on a stand, there are all kinds of microphone-related accidents that can happen. This is a bizarre, hilarious video of a wedding singer getting a big surprise.



It's probably better to hire a DJ... there's no way a DJ could swallow a record or a turntable. Even safer would be a mime, but the silence at your wedding would probably irritate the guests into mime-directed violence.

I had a friend that picked up a little wedding DJ work, but he had to quit because it was making him nauseous. All those requests, the soap opera fits, the drunkenness... it's too much for a person to take.

One time, the groom put on an Ice Cube song, and the bride's family, pure country & western, did not like that one bit.

Still, a little bit of irritation is a small price to pay to keep your throat microphone-free!
