Lady Gaga Afraid of Unknown Singer's Challenge?
The Lady Gaga challenge has been stepped up a notch with this: Alisa Apps challenged Lady Gaga to a sing-off with a $1 million cash prize. Lady Gaga's camp has yet to respond. This past weekend Alisa Apps appeared on Weekend Sunrise – Australia's top morning show.

"Weird, overrated and fake - over the last few months Lady Gaga has been called a lot of things," remarked Sam, the host of Weekend Sunrise, as she introduced Alisa Apps. In discussing the reactions of Lady Gaga's fans, Alisa suggested "Frankly I think they're scared."

Asked if she felt Lady Gaga had become too wound up in creating this image and if she was forgetting about the music, Alisa Apps likened Lady Gaga's many costume changes to Barbie and her many different outfits. In closing, Alisa used the example of a banana to illustrate her point about real versus fake. - more on this story

Marvin Gaye Let's Get It On Rarities Edition Released
Today Motown/Ume released Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On Rarities Edition (Motown/UMe) which was original released as part of the two disc Deluxe Edition. Here is the blurb:

In 1973, Gaye released Let's Get It On, perhaps the most passionate and sexual album ever recorded. Nearly 40 years later, the title song remains the #1 love song of all time.

This Rarities Edition tells the musical story of the making of that album through extraordinary demo or alternate versions of every song from the album; alternate Gaye-produced versions of "Just To Keep You Satisfied" by Motown groups the Monitors and the Originals; several songs Marvin recorded with other producers; three cuts from a secret instrumental-only Detroit jam session Marvin put together and a rare live version of the album's second hit, "Come Get To This." -

Releasing as digital download on both Amazon and iTunes, Boombox Logic sees Kuf venture away from his acclaimed group The Hustle and venture out solo to produce an influential album of socially conscience hip-hop. The album's influences are as wide as the audience for whom it's made, infusing synth hooks, rock and roll sensibilities, and folk lyric crafting into a base of hip hop, rap, jazz, and soul.

With a list of collaborations under his belt from the likes of Slightly Stoopid, G-Love, and Ben Arnold, Kuf flows between genres as smoothly as he delivers lyrics.
