The UK general election is coming up. And as an avid follower of politics, I'm happy that I can finally get my fix.

So this isn't a traditional cover. In fact, it hasn't been recorded, and it's not even by an artist that people think of as a "musician" first. Everyone knows the song "Hey Jude," and if they don't, then they need to get on that. It's a classic, it's simple, it's Paul McCartney (my fellow blogger Norah's first love), it's sort of a no-brainer.

The biggest guys with the word "weeze" in their stage names have joined forces prior to the release of their new albums: Weezer's "Raditude" and Lil' Wayne's "Rebirth."

Alanis Morissette was pretty pissed off in the '90s. She had broken up from Full House's Dave Coulier, which is pretty embarrassing. And she was not going to take that sort of rejection sitting down.

As much as I’d love to greet you all with a jolly ‘ELLO GUVNA, I’d be an imposter in doing so. To my dismay (and probably many, many people’s delight) I have not acquired a British accent. So allow me to instead say: Hey there, my name is Erin, and I'm currently spending a semester in the amazingly vibrant city of London, England.
