Shed some tears, little teenbopper chickies whio still listen to the Backstreet Boys. Kevin Richardson is leaving the group to “pursue other interests.” Gee, like what, have a real career? Finally shake off that Backstreet malaise and get down to business? The rest of the Boys don’t plan on replacing Richardson, and will be back in the studio to record their next disaster to be released later this year, as if anyone could even possibly care anymore.

That “Separate Ways” video (on YouTube.com) inspired me to listen to some Journey, and I have to mention the band’s two most underrated songs. “Anytime” was one of the band’s first hits from Infinity, and peaked at #83 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. It is now usually played on classic rock radio with “Feeling That Way,” which is a slow building rocker that showcases Steve Perry’s unique vocals, the group’s patented harmonizing and one of the band’s better guitar solos. After hearing the pair played together a few times, the ending of “Feeling That Way” screams for “Anytime,” another groovy rocker with a slow beat and an infectious chorus. The two songs were left off of the band’s Greatest Hits compilation that came out in 1988. With clunkers like “Be Good To Yourself” and “I’ll Be Alright Without You” and a running time of just under 62 minutes, Columbia Records has no excuse. Sony had the chance to correct the mistake in 2001, but failed by leaving “Feeling That Way” off of The Essential Journey, which was a double-disc compilation. What a slap in the face.
Listen to a song clip here.
…this one, from Eonline, referring to Slim Shady’s efforts to obtain divorce numero dos from off-again-on-again-off-again wife Kim with a minimum of intrusion from the press.
Just curious as to how exactly the divorce is proceeding “in secret” when it is being publicized via headlines from many major news outlets such as the one reporting the story…?
First, Pee Wee’s Emmy-winning kids’ show was picked up by Cartoon Network to air during their late-night Adult Swim block…
…and now he turns up playing multiple roles in the delightful video for the Raconteurs’ “Steady As She Goes,” scheming to defeat Jack White and the gang in (what else?) a soap-box derby.
But where’s Large Marge?
The rumors of Slash reuniting with Axl Rose and Guns N Roses, is simply a rumor. Not that we’d have thought it wasn’t, and not that I’d have even cared in the least. However, work is chugging along on the next Velvet Revolter Revolver album, tentativle entitled Libertad, “which is Spanish for ‘liberty,’ ” Slash said. “It’s something that we feel strongly about: liberty, freedom, you know …”
Yeah, you know…all that other stuff. Scott Weiland claims it’s going to be a concept album. Oh boy. Oh well, if anything the singing will be more enjoyable unlike fellow freedom fighter Neil Young, who also recently released a concept album about “liberty, freedom, you know…”
