Lebanon-born, London-based singer-songwriter Mika took the world by storm in 2007 with his debut album, “Life in Cartoon Motion,” and rightly so – he struck gold in finding the balance between Freddie Mercury theatrics and pure pop hooks.

We probably won’t remember ‘Fame’

By Brent Williamson · Wednesday, Sept. 30,2009 10:47 p.m.

‘Your Song’ will appeal to few

By Brian Marks · Wednesday, Sept. 30,2009 10:46 p.m.

The inclusion of super-producer Clive Davis on Harry Connick Jr.’s “Your Songs” would seem like a sure step toward garnering a wider audience and greater commercial success. Unfortunately, Connick’s new album relies on tired standards and lethargic covers that are likely to please few.

Business as usual

By Alex Rast · Wednesday, Sept. 30,2009 10:43 p.m.

Crunchy, clunky and prickly

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, Sept. 30,2009 10:40 p.m.

Long labeled the heroes of the scene after their 2003 album “Deja Entendu” became a life-changing and seminal release for so many fans, Brand New has done all they can to avoid that responsibility ever since. After the intended follow-up to “Deja” was derailed by the leaking of all the demos online and a series of personal tragedies for the members, it was late 2006 before any official new material hit. That album, “The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me,” was exponentially darker, heavier and less personal – but still pretty amazing. Now another three years have passed and Brand New has become more detached from the excessively fervent fans that follow them, while mentioning this new album, “Daisy” might be their swan song. And if it is, it’s one hell of a way to go.

TV Surveillance

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, Sept. 30,2009 10:35 p.m.

We all know that cable television is a little different than broadcast network television. Usually better written, more artistically free and slower-paced, cable television always gets labeled as “something more” like HBO’s “it’s not TV, it’s HBO” slogan. Though recent years have been unkind to cable power HBO, its failures allowed for other cable outlets like USA, Showtime and AMC to develop amazing content. And with HBO on the up-and-up and those other cable networks chugging along, cable TV is in a great place right now.
