Buh-Ritney

Yeah, she’s back all right. Tightened, toned, and full of raw desire. Britney Spears, with her hit single “Womanizer” already out, is set to be released in about 3 days (check her website for a running timer until release date). After years of some questionable behavior, Britney doesn’t want to return to the innocent girl of the nineties, but she does want to return to the sane person of four years ago.

December 9th…Mark It

As a little stocking stuffer for Timmy or Tammy this year, perhaps you may want to consider the fourth and newest album just cut from 50 Cent. Working closely with Dr. Dre and Eminem again, 50 Cent’s new album is much darker and harder and will most likely sear your face with its raw intensity and hot beats. His new single “Get Up” is already on the air and well-received by his fans, indicative that 50 still has”it.”

Christmas in Radio City

The Radio City Christmas Spectacular is now into its 7th decade of performing.  Every year, there are quite a few performances of this popular show, which feature a whole pile of dancers and many singers. We can enjoy hearing their music every year.  People come to see this show in large numbers.  The music includes some traditional songs and Christmas themes (like the Nutcracker) and also some new original songs written for the show. Don’t forget the Rockettes, though, they are considered some of the biggest stars of the show.  Lots of people say that it is fun for the whole family and a great way to kick off the Christmas season.

David Sedaris

David Sedaris’ new book is one of his most popular and best yet.  It has been at the top of the best seller lists for weeks at a time. In libraries, it’s hard to get in the line to get the book, in one of those rare moments that it’s actually available.  His newest book is fun and hilarious and also very touching, in a way. Sedaris is on tour right now, reading passages from his book and talking about it, telling stories and just giving everyone a generally good time.  It’s a fun show and you should see it if you can!

Gener travelling without Deaner

The Gene Ween Band will be going on a mini tour here at the onset of winter. Gene, one half of the try-any-genre band Ween, and his band members will be touring the Northeast of America from the 10-18th of December, with more tour dates to be added soon. Even though he may be without his Deaner, expect the same time of energy and humor that is omnipresent in any Ween-related show. Learn more by visiting their official website ween.com.

Chesney ok and touring

After his injury during a concert earlier this year, and his outburst on television about the ACM Awards Show, Kenny Chesney is ok and is still touring.  He got hurt when his shoe got caught in an hydraulic lift and he injured his leg and foot.  He is still able to walk and everything, it’s just going to hurt him for awhile.  He also objected to the ACM Awards this year, because the choice had been changed to reflect a fan choice, rather than some other kind of more objective way.  He didn’t win, but he was respected for the guts to speak up.  on October 14th he released a new album, Lucky Old Sun which has been rated well by many critics.  So after a rough year, Chesney still seems to be ok.
