This is Loreen, who just won the annual Eurovision Song Contest with her performance of “Euphoria.” That doesn’t guarantee international stardom. The long-running Eurovision contest has launched the careers of ABBA and Celine Dion, but it’s also been won by folks like Dana International and Niamh Kavanagh. Loreen is a nice Sw… Click to read more

Phillipa Brown is Ladyhawke, and her new Anxiety album comes out in a couple of weeks–and she’s sure got us anxious with a new video that combines her song “Black White & Blue” with a salute to the ’70s slasher film Eyes of Laura Mars. Check out the New Zealand songstress as she has psychic visions while dolled up like Faye Dunaway working a wild 1978 photo shoot!

How popular are the Allman Brothers in NYC? Popular enough to play about ten shows every March. That’s why we went to Gregg Allman’s appearance today at a Barnes & Noble in Manhattan, but didn’t write down any stupid comments about rednecks taking over Union Square. The crowd still had plenty to say, so check out 14 Things We Overheard at the Gregg Allman Book Signing…

Here’s the new trailer to Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, and it won’t seem like the book you read back in high school. Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan all look really swell in their period outfits from 1922. But we’re pretty sure the socialites back then weren’t rocking out to Kanye West and Jay-Z. Tha… Click to read more

We don’t buy into too much hype, but SNL delivered a true classic rock performance last night by pairing Mick Jagger and the Foo Fighters. The legendary singer and the young(er) band covering the Rolling Stones’ “19th Nervous Breakdown” before lurching into a hot take on “It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll (But I Like It).… Click to read more

He’s shown up on a Gorillaz album, so it’s not too weird to see a soul legend like Bobby Womack collaborating for an entire album with a (relatively) young gun like Damon Albarn. It sure sounds like everybody’s playing to their strengths on the upcoming The Bravest Man in the Universe. The  title track is a mix of classic Womack and typical… Click to read more

As noted earlier, it’s Joey Ramone’s birthday and we’re going out to the Annual Birthday Bash for the late punk god–on what should have been his 61st birthday. (He died back in 2001.) The yearly concert is put together by Joey’s brother Mickey Leigh, who had his own fine band called The Rattlers. Mickey’s also been bus… Click to read more

We’re getting geared up for tonight’s big Joey Ramone Birthday Bash, where our ticket buys us a t-shirt, a copy of Joey’s new …Ya Know? album, and an evening of NYC gutter-rockers paying tribute to The Ramones. (We could’ve gotten on the list, but it’s for charity, man!) We’re also almost done reading Johnny&#… Click to read more

“A lot of people think that rock ‘n roll is dead,” says Julia Pierce, “but we want to make it something new and fresh.” Julia has a strong advantage there. She’s the lead singer for Cherri Bomb, whose average age is 15 years old. The new This Is the End of Control is their proper debut, and Julia’s talking to COED about what should rightfully be the Summer of Cherri Bomb.

Go-go music was kind of a failed genre back in the ’80s. Part of the problem was that everyone was trying to catch up to Chuck Brown. He was already the Godfather of Go-Go back then, thanks to his groundbreaking work with the Soul Searchers in the ’70s. We’re truly bummed to learn the 75-year-old soulster passed away today. Check out Brown’s timeless sound now, and get out to a go-go tonight.

It was a swell Mother’s Day, and everything went great, but now it’s time to crank up the COED Jukebox and remember the days when you had to face the steely glare of the beloved mother of your old girlfriend. Maybe it wasn’t Queen sympathizing with you back then, but this is the song you’ll think about the next time you go knocking at some girl’s door to meet the pare… Click to read more

Mother’s Day is here, and no mother rocks harder than Bebe Buell. The 58-year-old former fashion model even rocks harder than most teenagers. She disappeared for a while to raise daughter Liv Tyler, but last year’s Hard Love album really counts as a proper comeback. Plus a little vindication–and Buell has plenty to say about it all…

Not many people at the office this Saturday, so the COED Jukebox is cranking out our advance copy of the 20th Anniversary Edition of Pantera’s Vulgar Display of Power–which has a second disc with video of an amazing 1992 live show in Italy. Those shows were around the time that Darrell Abbott went from being “Diamond Darrell” to … Click to read more

We’re sure your mom is really great, and it’s nice that you’re planning something special for her this Sunday. Or maybe you’ve forgotten this coming Sunday is Mother’s Day. In that case, you should feel very bad. You’ll feel better once you check out these amazing pics of supermodels who double as MILFs. We’ve… Click to read more

Today’s COED Jukebox is baffled about all the hype over the frontman of Against Me! announcing that he’s transgender. We’re baffled that nobody remembers the frontman of Life of Agony already went through all this. Keith Caputo has been billed as Keith Mina Caputo for a while now, and he’ll eventually just become Mina Caputo. Tha… Click to read more
