Brian Wilson Rules Out Another Beach Boys Reunion

(Radio.com) Last summer's Beach Boys 50th anniversary reunion tour may have been the very last opportunity for fans to see the group's original members all performing on stage together, ever.

Matt & Kim Go Viral With Their Harlem Shake Video

(Radio.com) Like an underground version of Psy's "Gangnam Style," the new viral phenomenon of "Harlem Shake" videos have exploded across the internet. Originally a minor urban dance craze in the early 1980s, New York rappers like Cam'ron brought it back to prominence in the early 2000s.

The dance has re-entered the public consciousness thanks to emerging New York dance music producer Baauer, whose 2012 song "Harlem Shake" has set off an endless stream of videos featuring people doing the dance in a variety of situations (it recently scared TV news anchor Anderson Cooper when his staff broke out into the move during a staff meeting), with Baauer scheduled for a high-profile performance at this year's Coachella festival.

Originally found on the BBC Essential Mix from Glasgow producer Rustie, Baauer's bass-heavy track was given a proper release on Mad Decent, the record label run by GRAMMY-nominated DJ/producer Diplo.

With the viral videos getting more and more outlandish, leave it to Matt & Kim to create one of the biggest (and pretty much the best) "Harlem Shake" clip yet, utilizing a packed auditorium of fans to join in the fun when the beat drops. more on this story

Emeli Sande Reflects On Adele and Singing Competition TV Shows

(Radio.com) Scottish singer/songwriter Emeli Sande stopped by the Fresh 102.7 studios last week to chat with Jim & Kim about her debut album, "Our Version of Events," how she started her career and the effect singing competition shows are having on the music industry.

When Adele's career took off at the end of 2009 with her hit "Rolling In The Deep," Emeli who's real name is also Adele, decided to go with her middle name, Emeli as her stage name, in order to form her own identity in the industry.

Despite the name conflict, Adele admires Sande and is a fan of her music. "It's amazing. Even before I released anything in the UK, she'd seen me on a show we have over there called 'Jools Holland' and she tweeted about it. To have that support from someone so huge was really encouraging," she said.

The singer can sympathize with the love-hate relationship people have with music competition shows, but overall these programs are beneficial for both artists looking for their big break.

There's less development in the music industry now than ever before. And if people need to find exposure these programs are great. The people that I've worked with are so passionate about music and I would never think less of them as an artist at all. I've been really pleased with the work I've done with these shows," she said. more on this story

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin Expecting Their First Baby

(Extra) "Extra" exclusively confirms that "Extra's" Lifestyle Correspondent Hilaria Baldwin and husband Alec are expecting their first child together.

The happy couple sat down for their only TV interview with "Extra's" AJ Calloway today to reveal the news, Hilaria, "We're having a baby!"

Hilaria telling AJ, "It was a surprise, a wonderful surprise." Hilaria explaining she took a test without telling Alec and when it was positive all she could do was scream.

Alec, "There's a scream I heard, which is a scream normally reserved if there's a spider in the house, not exaggerating. Normally I will be reading a book, we're in the country, it's quiet, some time to really relax and unwind and sometimes once a month you hear ahhh Alec, Alec! I come upstairs and there's a spider on the wall, so then I hear that scream again, but it was not a spider.

Hilaria, "It was followed by I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant, he runs up the stairs and I'm holding it (referring to the test) and showing it to him." Alec went on to say, "You can make as many jokes as you want, but it really is the most amazing thing, I'm lucky."

As far as how Hilaria is feeling she said, "Now, I'm showing, it's getting to be much more, like OMG this is actually gonna happen, now we can start the nursery, the everything, the dreaming."

Hilaria and Alec are very excited, the baby is due late this summer. more on this story

Singled Out: Louise Latham

Today Louise Latham helps us celebrate Valentine's Day by telling us about her latest single "Saint" which comes from her debut album "Reclaimed". Here is the story:

I wrote Saint in a moment of high emotion. I was in love with someone of a different faith and for all my attempts to understand and accept his beliefs, it was still not enough for him to embrace our love fully. Saint is a song about a moment of realization where the love that you have given is not enough to bridge a division of identities. The song I think has a universal theme, we are none of us perfect, and whatever we strive for within our relationships with others and ourselves we seem to have to accept the fact that identity is a strong force equal to that of love.

On my debut album Reclaimed, Saint is the opening track and has a haunting cello line, which accompanies the piano, to introduce the song. I recorded the song in the south of Holland with a series of wonderful session musicians and my sister Suzanne Latham on vocal harmonies. My sister's soulful harmonies give the song a tenderness and melancholia. A friend of mine once described the song as being similar to Fado, the portugese music genre, because of the characteristic sentiment of resignation and a feeling of loss. The production on the album really reflects the emotions I felt writing the song beautifully.

I hope Saint resonates with people. I think most people can relate to the feeling of having given everything, to then finally understand that there is a time when we have to protect ourselves as we are only human, with our limits and 'not a Saint'. Although this is true, the song is also a celebration of the love that has been given.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and watch the video here and learn more about the album right here!

Jeff Barry Recounts How He Helped Land Neil Diamond A Record Deal

(Radio.com) The name Jeff Barry may not be as widely known as the catalog of music he's behind, but this songwriter/producer has had his hands in many of the biggest hits of the '60s and beyond.

Jeff is the songwriter behind many No.1 hits like "Chapel Of Love," "Leader Of The Pack," "Do Ron Ron," "Do Wah Diddy," and "Be My Baby," which also happens to be Brian Wilson's favorite song.

"[Brian] has said that and he said it to me, and once did a TV special and he was good enough to come down and sing it," Jeff said in an interview with Gary Bryan.

He also helped discover Neil Diamond while he was recording demos in the studio one day, and was later the producer behind Neil's first hits including "Solitary Man" and "Cherry, Cherry."

"We brought Neil to our partners and wanted to sign him, and quite frankly they just didn't get it," Jeff said about discovering Neil. "So I took him over to one of my best friends Bert Berns who had Bang Records, so he ended up over there." more on this story

The Lumineers Perform For Fans At Grammy Pre-Party

(Radio.com) Folk-rock five-piece The Lumineers hail from the richly-cultured, mountainous urban landscape of Denver, Colorado, but their music is pure '30s-style dustpan alley, shoe-shuffling Americana fused with catchy, modern alt-rock melodies.

Their style transcends just their sound. At their pre-Grammy performance for AMP Radio and Radio.com at the Grammy Museum, the Best New Grammy-nominated group donned their quintessential retro-rags.

Cellist Neyla Pekarek wore toile tights, cocoa brown oxfords and a vintage-looking locket around her neck. Multifaceted frontman, Wesley Schulz, wore a fedora and a charming rough-and-rugged aura that melted the tension from them coming on an hour late.

The culprit of their tardiness was a broken cello. Schulz called out United Airlines for breaking their cello and thanked the band's crew and staff for getting a cello to them so quickly before the band played a five-song set of favorites like "Flowers In Your Hair," "Ho Hey," "Classy Girl," "Stubborn Love," and "Flapper Girl," which was an audience request.

"How is she playing," he asked Pekarek about her borrowed cello. "She's alright," replied Pekarek in her sweet, shy voice. More including photos
