Say What? Sophomore Slump? No Way: The Band Perry Talks ‘Pioneer’-ing New Album
April 24, 2013 9:40 AM ET | Yahoo Our Country| Wendy Geller
When sibling trio The Band Perry entered the Ram Country studios to perform some of their new tunes, the atmosphere was considerably jubilant. The sibling trio had just come off a very successful release week for their new album, Pioneer, which entered the country albums chart at No. 1 and the all-genre Billboard 200 at No. 2. This would be fantastic news at any time, but it's especially sweet for the young band, who were in the enviable-but-stressful position of following up their mass... | More »

On "American Idol" Season 12's top five night, contestant Amber Holcomb performed "Without You," a power ballad that judge Mariah Carey once famously covered--and scored a massive hit with--in 1994. At the end of her critique, Mariah declared, "Thank you, Harry Nilsson, for writing a great song!" There was only one problem: Harry Nilsson didn't write "Without You." Now, I completely excuse any regular layperson out there who assumed that Nilsson's iconic 1... | More »

Demrick Asks Fans to ‘Pray for Me,’ Doesn’t Take Success for Granted
April 19, 2013 4:26 PM ET | Yahoo Hip Hop| Billy Johnson Jr.
Demrick describes the state of mind behind his song “Pray for Me” as the halfway house for success. He’s accomplished many of the things on his wish list, but he is keeping his ego in check. “Pray for Me” sets Demrick apart from his contemporaries for chronicling his plight in real time. So in the song’s first verse, he explains that just because he’s friends with Cypress Hill and has “rapped with Dr. Dre” and “shut down the whole ... | More »

"Saturday Night Live"/"Portlandia" star Fred Armisen was out in full force to celebrate Record Store Day in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 20, playing an impromptu set of punk covers and engaging in a fan Q&A at Highland Park's all-vinyl/cassette indie store Mount Analog.
