The Music Mix Rock n' Roll wine tie-ins: Go to our hee-ee-eead, make us forget that we still need you so November 17, 2009 at 5:39 pm I was at the grocery store buying a last minute present for a friend’s birthday party a couple weekends ago — what? it was on the way to the restaurant! — and while perusing the gift cards, I happened to notice the ugliest goddamn bottles of wine I’d ever seen, like someone had slapped a Miley Cyrus not a 'Twilight' fan: 'I've never seen it, nor will I ever' November 17, 2009 at 4:56 pm It’s like the Easter bunny just pooped on a unicorn. Miley Cyrus, tween America’s pole-prancing, party-in-the-U.S.A.-ing overlord, wants nothing to do with Twilight—arguably the only pop cultural benchmark more important to her target demographic than her own multi-media empire. “I’ve never seen , and nor will I ever,” she tells Ohio radio station Q92 in a Kris Allen: A track-by-track analysis of his self-titled debut album November 17, 2009 at 4:02 pm My colleague Whitney Pastorek recently reviewed Kris Allen’s self-titled debut (out today) — check out her thoughts, and her grade here — but as EW’s resident Idoloonie, I couldn’t let today’s momentous release go by without a borderline crazy analysis of every track on the record. Yeah, I know, I already went overboard on lead Jack White to produce Queen of Rockabilly Wanda Jackson's next album November 17, 2009 at 3:52 pm At long last it looks like rock’s first lady, Wanda Jackson, is finally getting her due.
