The Ed Sullivan Show – Rock ‘n’ Roll Classics (A PopEntertainment.com TV on DVD Review)

The Ed Sullivan Show Rock ‘n’ Roll Classics (Rhino-2002) Your tolerance of the variety show format is equally proportional to the amount of hours you’ve viewed MTV since 1981. More than two decades have passed since the rest of television adapted to the now-taken-for-granted style of the quick-edited, odd-camera-angled, sound-bit, irony-heavy entertainment presentation.

Britney Spears – In the Zone (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

Britney Spears – In the Zone (Jive) I have to admit it. I like Britney Spears. No, before you ask, I am not a teenager. I’m a normal adult guy with, I hope, a wide range of musical tastes. And while yes, I am conscious of Britney’s non-musical qualities… and I’m a fan of those, too… … Continue reading

Liz Phair – Liz Phair (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

Liz Phair – Liz Phair (Capitol) Hardcore Liz Phair fans weaned on the spiky likes of Exile From Guyville and Whip-Smart have apparently reacted with disdain towards the latest album from the queen of alt-rock. Well, Liz Phair is definitely a change of direction for the singer, but it’s also her best album yet. On the new album, Liz just seems to … Continue reading

The Bangles – Doll Revolution (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

The Bangles – Doll Revolution (Victor-Japan) Thirteen years on since the Bangles broke up… while on top of the charts and top of the world… here comes a reunion album that makes it seem like not a minute has passed since they went away. The group’s jangly-Byrdsy pop-rock feels every bit as palatable today as it … Continue reading

The Flaming Lips – Fight Test (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

The Flaming Lips – Fight Test (Warner Brothers) The Flaming Lips have put together a nice, quirky body of work since catching our attention with “She Don’t Like Jelly” a few years ago. This covers-heavy EP is only going to add a footnote to their body of work, though. It starts off rather spectacularly with a … Continue reading
