People didn't get Gremlins 2: The New Batch when it was released in the summer of 1990, six years and a week after its blockbusting predecessor. It grossed less than a third of the original's box-office take ($41.4 million versus Gremlins' $148.1 million). » By Rich Juzwiak 03:35 PM 43 comments
Today’s Song: Usher featuring Rick Ross ‘Lemme See’
Speaking of male R&B crooners, here's something more sleazy than soulful from Usher's forthcoming, inanely named album Looking 4 Myself.

Today’s Song: Jimmy Edgar ‘In Deep’
The fourth album of Detroit's Jimmy Edgar, Majenta, is out today, and it's one of the most easily enjoyable dance releases of the year so far.

Today’s Song: Neneh Cherry & the Thing ‘Accordion’
Neneh Cherry broke through with the rapping/singing hybrid "Buffalo Stance," a dance song without much low end that turned interjections into hooks ("Gigolo, sucka!") and included an amazingly melodramatic spoken-word breakdown ("The wind in my face, the sound in my ears / Water from my eyes, and... » By Rich Juzwiak 05:55 PM 11 comments
