Now usually I'm very wary of any self-proclaimed "artist" who appears on a reality show. But I'll admit that Tamarama's Jay Lyon (known firstly as Whitney's dreamy Aussie boyfriend on MTV pseudo-reality show "The City" and secondly as the lead singer for band Tamarama) doesn't suck completely in the music department - that is, if I were to ever admit to being a fan of acts like Jack Johnson or John Mayer, or to even watching "The City" in the first place.

The hallmark of a well-performed Shakespeare play is the degree to which a modern audience can understand the confusing dialogue.

Katy Perry, the newest American pop star, is something of a cross between Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson. Or perhaps it would be better to call her the unwanted step-sister of these pop darlings

It's hard to find a single album, collaboration or production by Steven Wilson that's anything short of a masterpiece.
