A few explosively overrated whiny contributions to taint our music industry, a couple of songs for whales to mate to and undeserved Grammys later, Bon Iver is still at it, this time giving away tickets on Facebook. I have to say, the prize package is pretty enticing – a night’s hotel stay, dinner and a $500 gift card in Vegas, even though you can expect the laborious disadvantage of having to attend one of those extended sleeper sessions the guy likes to call a live show.

Kelly Clarkston is a supporter of Ron Paul, and the singer let it be known on her Facebook page last night. But while endorsing the Republican presidential hopeful, her seemingly harmless comments sparked a wave of criticism from her fans, some of who accused Paul of racism and homophobia. Clarkston posted, "I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last republican nomination and no one gave him a chance," Kelly posted last night.

According to Terrence Richburg, "The origins of gospel jazz are as familiar as any other form of musical expression.

Pioneer social networking site MySpace was just sold for $35 million, and now its buyer has recruited Justin Timberlake to help revive it. The pop star and actor has accepted a stake in the company, as well as an office and even a small staff. This move is just a bit ironic as he recently portrayed Sean Parker, founder of Napster and an investor in Facebook, in The Social Network.
