The 2014 Bobby James Awards: Music + Top 50 Songs

Welcome to the third installment of the 2014 Bobby James Awards. This post will serve as a celebration of music – so get your comments ready (for below) and pull up your iTunes or Google Music account, because I have a feeling there will be a great deal of music in my Top 50 that…

New Art: Clownin’ Around & Straight Jacket

I woke up this morning with a couple visions in my head for new art involving clowns.  Seems timely provided the media’s coming clown fixation (Lady GaGa’s ARTPOP cover art, the upcoming American Horror Story: Freakshow, “Crazy Steve” from IMPACT Wrestling and rumors about who will play “The Joker” next).  I have a feeling pop culture is…

New Art: A Supernova, Skater Boy, Shadow, Mother Monster, Elephants, & a Vision

I’ve been BUSY creating new [visual] art throughout February (instead of writing, which was the goal!). You’ve probably seen most of the recent works, which include: Gerry’s Flamingo, Dancer, Lion, Flamboyance, and my surprise 17-piece collection titled Visions of Meditation – but there’s more! Today I’m unveiling 8 new pieces – in just this one post! As usual, I’ve added small descriptive paragraphs…

The 2013 Bobby-james Awards: Music + Top 50 Songs

This year I’ve introduced you to Radio Bobby – but that wasn’t until this past summer.  Radio Bobby is my way of sharing what I think are the week’s best new music releases – but that has no indication on how things wind up for a Top 50 countdown at the end of the year. …

Radio Bobby: Top 5 ARTPOP songs

Radio Bobby goes GaGa! I know I’m posting late this week (and in fact, I haven’t posted in a LONG TIME) so I figured I’d dedicate this edition or Radio Bobby to ARTPOP! Let me start by saying that I’ve had a mixed reaction to Mother Monster’s most recent effort.  Previously, I’ve found myself rushing…

Radio Bobby: Top 5 New Music Releases (10/21)

Here is you latest installment of RadioBobby for the week of October 21, 2013.  Links to this week’s selections are included for iTunes. 1.  (The Whole Album) by Cody Karey – (vocal/pop) Wow – that’s all I’ve got.  I saw the album artwork from artist Cody Karey and took him for just another auto-tuned pop voice…

Radio Bobby: Top 5 New Music Releases (8/12)

After last week’s abysmal music showing – I could only find three songs worthy of Top 5 contention and their release dates were either limited/special (“Beautiful” by Ben Rector) or they were featured on iTunes after they were released (“Burn” by Ellie Goulding and “Free” by Rudimental f. Emeli Sande) … but never fear, Radio Bobby is back with a BANG!…

Holy-Whoa-my-Lady-GaGa!

It appears Lady GaGa has reclaimed her shock factor, this time with a “nude” image uploaded to Instagram.  The photo appears to be a promotional piece used to advertise her upcoming album ARTPOP and is rumored to be the cover photo for V Magazine (though it’s speculated the magazine cover could just be a fan mock-up). Either way, it’s…
