Now that the Super Bowl is over and gone, North Texas can turn its attention to next year. Who should perform during halftime at the Super Bowl in Cowboys Stadium? Should it be a younger, more relevant act like some of the recent Grammy winners? Or should it be a group of seasoned veterans, like last night's performers, The Who? Maybe we should give Janet Jackson another chance. Sound off in the comments section! The entry "Who should perform at next year's Super Bowl at Cowboys Stadium?" has no entry tags. February 3, 2010
CNN Money has a story on "Music's lost decade: sales cut in half" that claims the music industry is only worth half of what it was 10 years ago. That's not exactly big news - the ability to get music for free online was basically the death of how the recording industry had been used to operating. What about you? Do you still buy CDs from a music store or big box chain? The entry ""Music's lost decade:" A tale of declining sales" has no entry tags. February 2, 2010
Colombia's Shakira takes the stage to perform "Give It Up to Me" and "She Wolf," two tracks from her new disc, She Wolf. Finally, Usher treats the crowd to "More," his new single, during the intros of the 2010 NBA All-Stars. He'll also sing "Yeah!" from 2004's mega-hit album, Confessions. By the way, TNT filmed a music video for Usher's "More" currently running in 600 Regal Cinemas. It also serves as a promo clip for the 2010 NBA All-Star. The 59th NBA All-Star Game is expected to draw more than 80,000 people, which is being touted as "the largest group ever to witness a live basketball game." The game will be televised on TNT.

This from longtime Scorpions leader Klaus Meine: "While we were working on our album these past few months, we could literally feel how powerful and creative our work was - and how much fun we were still having, in the process," he said on the band's website. "We want to end the Scorpion's extraordinary career on a high note. We are extremely gracious for the fact that we still have the same passion for music we've always had since the beginning." The beginning was more than 40 years ago, with more than 100 million albums sold during that time. Scorpions are, of course, best known for the piercing 1984 anthem "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and the sweeping 1991 power ballad "Wind of Change." The goodbye tour launches in May in Germany and continues through 2012. Photo: Scorpions at the Echo Awards in Germany last February (Michael Sohn).

Yeah. Okay. Entertainment Weekly has an interview with The Hills star Heidi Montag about her new album, Superficial. On spending herself broke on the album: "I've spent over a million, almost $2 million on this album. It's cost as much or more than a Britney Spears album, because I wanted it to be that quality and to be able to get those people. My album would have cost a record label over $4 million." On her fans: "I think it's gonna do great. I have a million twitter followers and they're all very excited. So that's at least a million people right there." You've gotta love the optimism. I don't think the album's gonna sell like she wants it to, but who else in the music industry has that kind of cheery outlook?

Miley Cyrus appears in this month's Harper's Bazaar with quite the interview inside: "My job is to be a role model, and that's what I want to do, but my job isn't to be a parent," she says. "My job isn't to tell your kids how to act or how not to act, because I'm still figuring that out for myself. So to take that away from me is a bit selfish. Your kids are going to make mistakes whether I do or not. That's just life." Agree? Disagree? Still "nodding your head like yeah?" Sound off!

Some of your favorite bands made the list, but none outdid U2 and its giant spider with $123 million. And while tickets were outsized in their pricing, none averaged higher than tickets to Cher's shows in Las Vegas. Maybe the music industry, including the ginormous promoters, have learned something from the numbers. (Live Nation pulled out all the stops this year, with BOGO and other discounted promotions.) What we also learned is which fans show up, too: The only hip-hop act in the top 50 -- that's 5-0 -- was Lil Wayne. And, if you know like I know, that's only because he toured incessantly throughout 2009. If you look up ubiquitous in the dictionary right now, it should have a picture of Weezy. Read on ...

The Academy released the titles of the 63 songs that will be competing for the Best Original Song Oscar this year. Disney dominated as Hannah Montana: The Movie had five eligible tracks and The Princess and the Frog has four. Remember: thanks to the new rules rolled out in June, the music branch will have voters see clips of eligible songs as they are used in each film. The voters will then rate a song on a scale of 6 to 10. Under the new rules, if no song earns 8.25, there will be no nominations. If at least one scores 8.25, it will be nominated, as will the second-highest scorer. My favorite nominees: "Stu's Song" from The Hangover, "Petey's Song" from The Fantastic Mr. Fox, "All Is Love" from Where The Wild Things Are, "Cinema Italiano" from Nine, and "Ma Belle Evangeline" from The Princess and the Frog. In looking at the list of nominees, this category could be a way to attract viewers without giving a particular film a bigger nomination. "Possibility" from The Twilight Saga: New Moon was a fine song - if it were to be nominated, that could attract Twilighters to the ratings-starved Oscar broadcast. The same could be said of "Stu's Song" from The Hangover or whatever song from Bruno is nominated. (Remember, past nominees have included "Blame Canada" from South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut and "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" from Hustle and Flow.) If nothing else, the comic appeal of hearing an Oscar presenter say the words "Hoedown Throwdown," is enough for me to hope that the song from Hannah Montana is nominated.

As soon as I heard that Garth was going to be playing in Vegas for five years, my first thought was, "I think I finally have a reason to go to Vegas." I'm not even a country music fan, but there's something about Garth that transcends genre restrictions. He's a talented artist, charismatic performer and, when it comes to country music, he's simply the best. Reading about his opening night at the Wynn Hotel only made me more eager to hop a plane to Vegas to see this great musician. What about you? Do you have plans to catch Garth's show?

In an unexpected twist, Miley Cyrus has been disqualified from the "Best Song written for a Soundtrack" Grammy category. Cyrus was nominated for her song, "The Climb," which wasn't originally written for the movie it appeared in, so it has now been disqualified. But this disappointment for Hannah Montana fans comes with jubilation for fans of Where The Wild Things Are. Since Cyrus was eliminated, the nomination now goes to the song with the next-highest initial vote count, which was Karen O and the Kids' "All is Love" from the Where The Wild Things Are film. Now I really want "All Is Love" to win - maybe even more than the also-nominated "Decode" by Paramore.

Billboard has made a list of the top one-hit wonders of the 2000s. The list is based on how high a certain artist's song rose (and remained at the top) compared to how far down their subsequent effort peaked. Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" tops the list, followed by "Lean Back" by Terror Squad, "Butterfly" by Crazy Town, "This Is Why I'm Hot" by MIMS, "Laffy Taffy" by D4L, "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt, and "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley. Check out the entire list and tell us which one-hit wonder you couldn't get out of your head. "You're Beautiful" always reminds me of my freshman year in college, while Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5" (#13 on the list) just reminds me of Michael Scott singing it in a Chili's on "The Dundies" episode of "The Office."

Hope Family Wines, a family-run wine producer with over 30 years of grape growing experience in Paso Robles, Calif., is inviting consumers to drink to a new beat. Winemaker and President Austin Hope announced the launch of Wine DJ, the Liberty School iPhone application created to build a playlist of "Music to Match Your Spirits" based on mood, setting and which Liberty School wine is being consumed. The app is available for download free via Apple's app store and on Apple's iTunes. Upon launching the app, users are prompted to choose a Liberty School wine and are then presented with a series of sliders to adjust variables that correspond with their situation. Users will choose from settings such as "Candle Light/Strobe Light" and "Flying Solo/Entourage" and the app will stream a custom-made playlist. With music sourced from GrooveShark.com, the potential for unique playlists are immense. The app comes bundled with extensive information on Liberty School including tasting notes (both "what the people say" and "what the experts say") and a map feature that shows the nearest retailers who carry the wine. "The Wine DJ app offers something original, fun and valuable to our customers," says Hope. "Who hasn't wondered what wine to open on a date, or what music to play at a dinner party? The Wine DJ app facilitates any music and wine scenario, and will hopefully attract new wine drinkers to discover the Hope Family brands in the process," he adds.

All of this Motown talk gets me thinking about the label's 1980's heyday. Everybody always points to the 1960's and the 1970's as the quintessential Motown decades. I won't argue that. But let's not forget that Motown was very much viable in the 1980's, and with groundbreaking releases like Teena Marie's It Must Be Magic from 1981. She was so ahead of her time, particularly on "Square Biz," an intoxicating slice of R&B, funk and rap that predated the slew of female rappers to come. Got a favorite Motown album from the '80s?

The stadium lot isn't open yet, so I'm wondering where they're all parked.

Here's hoping that they bring only their groundbreaking music and leave the Hennessy, red paint, some of the outrageous sartorial mistakes and their mouths at home. (I know. I'm dreaming.) Anyway, meet you there. It'll be nice to see how far Kanye's come since he opened for Usher ... Tickets go on sale next Friday, Sept. 25, at 10 a.m. at livenation.com.

Live Nation has been all about the promotions lately (no-service-fee days and such), and now they're offering the Live Nation Club Passport for $49.99. In Dallas, House of Blues is the venue the program would apply to. Basically, it means you can go to any participating show that's not sold out for the rest of 2009, with no additional fees. Is it a good deal? That depends on if you like the bands, and how interested you are in seeing a wide variety of acts (choices range from Bowling for Soup to Kinky to Kraig Parker's Elvis tribute). Of course, Live Nation also says, "Participating shows and venues. Based on availability. Parking not included. Cannot be combined with other offers. The Live Nation Club Passport is good for one person only and does not guarantee entry." See the list of shows here. The entry "Live Nation's $49.99 Club Passport deal" has no entry tags.

In my entry a couple of days ago about the Brad Paisley concert and the meet-and-greet backstage with the local youngsters who appeared in his video for "Welcome to the Future," I accidentally left out one of the little stars. That would be Sawyer Butler of Little Elm, who wants to be a paleontologist. Our apologies, Sawyer. We'll make it up to you in a few years, when you discover a previously unknown dinosaur that once roamed North Texas. It will be named the Sawyersaur in your honor, and that will no doubt get you a P.1 story in the newspaper! The entry "One more Paisley kid!" is tagged: Brad Paisley September 14, 2009
I love their music, but not all of it. Some of it is (uh-oh) self-indulgent and some of it leads to head-scratching and-or navel-gazing. And I should be able to write that. Right? Well, American Idol judge Simon Cowell has learned what I suspected: If you have something bad to say about the Beatles, don't say anything at all ... Simon said that the Beatles wouldn't have made the cut on his show, not with Ringo anyway. Heck, as droll as he is, he could have been joking. But according to the Associated Press, he's getting some backlash for saying it. What I want to know is, what say you? (Photo by Apple Corps Ltd.) The entry "Repeat after me: The Beatles are great.

By now you've heard about it, but if you haven't seen it yet, check out the video below where Kanye West steals the glory from Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech for winning best female video at last night's MTV Video Music Awards. He jumped onstage, took the mike, and declared that Beyonce had the best music video of all time. Later, I guess someone told him that's not acceptable, and he wrote an all-caps apology on his blog. It all begs the question, why do they keep inviting him to these shows? But the night wasn't completely without some class. Beyonce gave Taylor her few minutes of screen time back during her own acceptance speech. And there was this awesome Michael Jackson tribute. What did you guys think about the show, the celebrities and the winners?

Paisley and opening acts Jimmy Wayne and Dierks Bentley (either of whom would have been worth the admission on his own) played for three-and-a-half hours, with Paisley taking us on an electric, emotional musical trip from his first CD 10 years ago through the recently released American Saturday Night. Like Keith Urban (with whom he recorded "Start a Band"), Paisley is a formidable guitar player who both draws from and transmits energy to the audience. Some local kids were on hand before the show to meet Paisley backstage -- they'd been selected by KSCS-FM (96.3) as the winners of a video contest, and short clips of the 10 youngsters, each telling his or her dream for the future, appeared in the video playing behind Paisley during the encore number "Welcome to the Future." Members of the extremely happy group were: Madalyn Lewis (she wants to be a songwriter) of Hillsboro , Nina Rodriguez (teacher) and Lily Rodriguez (doctor) of Mansfield, Brooklyn Ryder (veterinarian) of Flower Mound, Hayden Hawkins (bronc rider) of Weatherford, Allison Williams ("fisher person") and Elijah Terrell (cowboy) of Arlington, Saylor Williams ("kid") of Waxahachie and Kimberleigh Lewis (rock star) of Joshua. Paisley said he loves playing Dallas -- "This is an important town to country music," he said, noting that "at one time all my exes were from here" -- and shared a memory from early in his career. Scheduled for a live early-morning interview with KSCS DJ Hawkeye, he arrived to find that Hawkeye had asked one of those exes to join them in the studio. "And then he spent the whole interview quizzing me about why it didn't work," Paisley said with a sigh. Hawkeye, on hand for the press conference, responded with a wicked cackle. About the local crop of video kids, Paisley said, "This is the best group we've ever gotten. These kids are hams." He also quipped that "You can tell they were filmed in Dallas because every one of them has construction in the background." For the full review of the show, check here on Monday.

Today's pretty big for Beatles fans. Heck, it's pretty big for music fans in general, whether you're a collector of rare box sets, a teenager stoked about a new Expert Mode to tackle, or a cover band looking for your big gig. Both the entire remastered catalog and The Beatles: Rock Band video game are out! Check out Music Critic Mario Tarradell's analysis of the mono and stereo box sets and tell us what you think. Are they worth the money? (Anywhere from $191.36 to $259.99!) Tell us what you think about the Rock Band game too. It's the only Rock Band/Guitar Hero/I Pretend I'm a Rock Star game I haven't demoed or owned, so I'm dying to know if those fancy special edition instruments and Fab Four set lists are as great as they've been hyped to be. We know you hardcore Beatle fans are excited, and we've got video to prove it: Dallas Blockbuster store holds Beatles Rock Band release party, and Waco tribute band The Mudcatts played the midnight release at the Preston/ Beltline Road store.

For every mojito margarita and S'Mores Fondue dessert sold at any of the three Dallas locations, Houlihan's will donate $1 up to $30,000 to the foundation. The fund-raising effort was helped along by a J.R. Byrd concert at the Dallas Houlihan's in late August. Diners at the Arlington, Garland or the Dallas location at 5225 Belt Line Road, Suite 220) can make donations by noting it on their checks. Houlihan's raised $54,000 last year for what turned out to be two schools, one in Wilkinsburg, Pa., and St. Louis, Mo. "Music is a critical piece of Houlihan's customer experience," says Mark Allen, GM of Houlihan's in Dallas. " ... We strongly believe that every child should have the chance to play an instrument, join a band and enjoy the many benefits music brings to life." Sounds like Mark grew up in my house.

If you've heard of only one Deep Ellum club, it's Trees. And it's making a comeback with a grand-opening weekend sure to get some attention. The live-music venue first opened in 1991 but then closed in 2005 after financial issues. The Dallas Observer has a nice 2006 write-up of the events leading up to the closure and an overall history of Deep Ellum. But Trees is alive again, with the help of Clint Barlow, the touring drummer for Vanilla Ice, and his wife Whitney. Clint told DMN reporter Nancy Visser in this June 8 article that he's focused on catering to both the bands and the audience. "I've been a musician here since '91 and I know what bands want. They want awesome sound and awesome lights, and they should get paid properly." The catering begins with performances by Slow Roosevelt, Element Eighty, System Overload and Hardway Down tomorrow night (Friday Aug. 14). Then catch Fair to Midland, Moving Atlas, Peacemaker and Black Tie Vendetta on Saturday, and Saliva, Taking Dawn and The Cast on Sunday. Doors open at 7pm and it's 21 and up only. Sounds like a good time is ready to be had, and is this a sign that Deep Ellum is gearing up to take back the Dallas music scene? I suppose there are concerns out there that that may not happen, or at least not as prominently as in the 1990s. We're now seeing acts that Trees was known for having go to the Granada Theater and House of Blues, which have gotten more notoriety as the big stages for local music since its absence. But it's probably too early to say. Either way it's worth a shot. Anyone plan on checking out Trees' revival this weekend?

Going to see Paul McCartney or U2 at Cowboys Stadium? Considering how new the stadium is, I'm betting you've got close to no clue about how it looks inside. Well, DMN writer Jeff Moiser reports that Arlington residents will get a chance to look at parts of Cowboys Stadium next month when the city holds an open house there Aug. 9. "Participants must show proof of residency, such as a driver's license or utility bill. Fans will have access to the main concourse and seating areas and will also be allowed to shoot video and still photos. Parking is free. The Cowboys offer a more extensive paid tour, which includes visits to the scoreboard control room, a suite, player interviews and sometimes the field and Cowboys locker room. Those tours cost between $9 and $15. Cameras are not permitted on those tours.
