Music news links for Friday, Nov. 6: Jay-Z, Beyonce, AFI, Slash, Jack White, Rihanna and more (with video)

Posted by Kristina Welch on Nov. 6, 2009, at 2:14 pm

Don’t forget about your homework for the weekend — keeping up on the latest music news.

  • hovaJay-Z announced the second leg of his tour for his new album, Blueprint 3. (No Florida stops are included.) The record may just be a “blueprint,” but no doubt it’s a plan to lay the foundation of yet another successful project for Jigga.
  • Jay-Z’s amour, Beyonce, had a big night Thursday at MTV’s Europe Music Awards, picking up multiple honors in Germany. Are you happy now, Kanye?
  • While AFI is busy touring to promote their latest release, Crash Love, band members Davey Havok and Jade Puget are keeping their Blaqk Audio side project on the backburner. The duo promises to release an album, Bright Black Heaven, as soon as the AFI tour is over. It is truly the age of side projects, isn’t it?
  • Legends comprising Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and the Temptations will headline a two-night celebration to honor Motown’s 50th Anniversary in Detroit this month. With acts like these, it’s looking to be the most soulful night in history.
  • Guitar hero Slash is recording a solo album, Slash & Friends. Apparently, Jack White turned down an invitation to sing on the record. Listen up, White: If Slash asks you to sing, you sing. If he asks you to play the triangle, you put all you’ve got into that worthless little instrument. What were you thinking?
  • Rihanna opened up to Diane Sawyer about her Chris Brown ordeal. Whether you’re inspired or pissed off about the situation, you should check out the one-on-one after the jump, along with some more music news links. Read the rest of this entry »

    Polyamory on MTV: being a credit to your kink

    Posted by Camile on Apr. 2, 2009, at 10:18 pm

    When you’re in any form of minority, you hope pop culture representations of your group are fair. You anxiously watch episodes of talk shows and scour newspaper articles in hopes that this one got it right. This is the show that doesn’t devolve into the sensationalist, “OMG these people are so weird!” that makes you throw your remote across the room before angrily masturbating.

    Okay, maybe that last part is only something I do when I’m alone and annoyed. I highly recommend it though. You won’t be angry by the time you’re done.

    Let me be frank. I’m no activist. By the time I find out about most of these flubs, the actual activists have already fired off angry letters and comments to the guilty party. I still go to the polyamory LJ community for advice on my poly problems. If you’re looking for more eloquent explanations of why someone would chose polyamory, you’re better off checking out Polyamory? What Like Two Girlfriends?. Read the rest of this entry »
