Robyn Reveals Album Art, Tracklist for Body Talk Pt. 2

     Only days after the lead single for Robyn's Body Talk Pt. 2 leaked, the Swedish singer released the album art for her second EP as well as the tracklisting.  In addition to "Hang With Me", the record will included another acoustic track, "Indestructible" (the first single from Body Talk Pt. 3 perhaps?) and a collaboration with Snoop Dogg entitled "U Should Know Better".  Maybe this is Snoop's way of making up for the tragedy that was "California Gurls" [sic].


1. In My Eyes
2. Include Me Out
3. Hang With Me
4. Love Kills
5. We Dance to the Beat
6. Criminal Intent
7. U Should Know Better [ft. Snoop Dogg]
8. Indestructible (acoustic version)

Chart Watch: West Coast Represent - Perry Takes Her "Gurls" to No. 1

     In 2009, the New York Yankees won the World Series as Jay-Z and Alicia Key's Big Apple Anthem, "Empire State of Mind" topped the Hot 100, the first song about New York City to ever do so.  Chart watchers were surprised that a hit so regional in focus managed to get spins at radio stations across the country, especially considering the hated Yankees had just won their 27th World Series.  Let's hope that same scenario doesn't happen in favor of the West coast now.  Unfortunately, California is already halfway there as Katy Perry's "California Gurls" [sic] feat. Snoop Dogg moves up to No. 1 in its fourth week on the chart and the LA Lakers are two wins away from their 17th NBA Championship.

     In an effort to drum up some East Coast-West Coast rivalry (and probably to make her song seem more legit than it actually is), Perry said her song is a response to "Empire State of Mind".

     "It's so great that "Empire State of Mind" is huge and that everyone has the New York song, but what the f***? What about LA? What about California? It's been a minute since we had a California song and especially from a girl's perspective," she said to Rolling Stone.  Katy, don't flatter yourself.

Facebook Group Created To Commemorate Aretha Franklin's Hat

The most memorable part of Obama's inauguration was when the guy holding the Bible screwed up the oath of office. The second most memorable part was when Aretha Franklin, the queen of soul, sang wearing one of the most interesting hats I've seen in my entire life. It was such a big deal that Idolator heralded it as the top story of the week. Users of the social networking site Facebook can now become a fan of her hat.

Included on the fan page are pictures of people, both celebrities and those who wish they were, wearing the hat. My personal favorite is Snoop Dogg. Said Maura Johnston of Idolator: "Can we just take a moment to appreciate the majesty of Aretha Franklin's hat?" It is quite majestic, isn't it?
