The #2 pop single in the nation this week is Katy Perry’s ode to lesbian experimentation, I Kissed A Girl (which is not the Jill Sobule song of the same title from some years back). The Concerned Women of America are horrified: The song, performed by Katy Perry, is called I Kissed a Girl. The lyrics speak of kissing a …

Colton Ford lends his bod to Cyndi Lauper in this video shot at NYC’s Splash Bar. Meanwhile on the dance chart, Lauper’s collaboration with Rich Morel rockets into the top five. Will this be Morel’s 6th number one as a remixer/producer? The highlight of last week’s True Colors show at Radio City for me was Lauper’s performance of Set Your …

In advance of his August full-length release, The Death Of The Paperboy, house music kingpin Rich Morel has issued a 5-track EP titled Flawed, which is now available on iTunes. Stream Morel’s Pink Noise Mix of Flawed below. Morel’s last full-length, Lucky Strike, remains one of my favorite albums ever and I’m besides myself waiting for Paperboy.

Rich Morel’s fantastic remixes of his production of Cyndi Lauper’s new single Same Ol’ Story are now available on iTunes. Below you can stream Morel’s extended mix of the single, one of several versions available. Lauper’s full-length, Bring Ya To The Brink, goes on sale on May 27th.

Let’s just say that this weekend’s Blowoff was out of control, off the hook, off the chain, or whatever the kids are saying these days. The venue was behind schedule in turning the room over to Mould & Morel, so by midnight the line stretched from Western Beef all the way back to Ninth Avenue. But once everybody was inside, …

Rich Morel and Bob Mould bring their hairy beary beat-filled carnival back to Manhattan tomorrow night for another installment of Blowoff at the Highline Ballroom in Chelsea. Doors don’t open until 11:30pm this time, so expect the place to fill to capacity at once. Advance tickets are recommended as I think they stopped selling before 1am last time and some …

Last night I caught Bob Mould’s packed show at Irving Plaza on his tour to support his new album, District Line. I’ve seen Bob perform at least six or seven times over the last few years, and last night’s show might have been the best yet. The audience was super responsive, calling Bob back for two multi-song encores. A mini-mosh …

I’m pretty sure Saturday’s Blowoff was the best one ever. Pretty sure. The second half of the party is a teensy little foggy to me. Stupid tequila. Stupid beer. But it wasn’t just me that got his drunk on – I got tons of great pics that I can’t use here because everybody looks so freekin’ hammered. The place was …

Here’s a teaser snippet of Cyndi Lauder’s new single, Set Your Heart, as used in a Japanese car commercial. The track was co-written and co-produced by Cyndi and Blowoff DJ Rich Morel, who promised me he’d play it tomorrow night at the Highline.

In case you haven’t noticed it in my ad column, the next NYC edition of Blowoff is this Saturday at the swanky Highline Ballroom. Man, I’m jonesing for some hot tuneage from Mssrs Mould & Morel. At the last Blowoff, the club kind of got overwhelmed by the attendance and the line on West 16th Street stretched down to 9th …

Last night’s NYC Blowoff was even better than the last one, as positive word of mouth from October’s event brought in a huge crowd, causing a waiting line outside the Highline Ballroom and lines almost as long inside at the coat check and restrooms. Congrats to Bob Mould and Rich Morel for creating what will surely be a long-running Manhattan …

Blowoff’s first NYC event was fantastic, of course. Mouse over the pics for names.

Justice, MSTRKRFT, SebastiAn, and Van She are among the cutting edge dance artists you’ll hear tomorrow night when Bob Mould and Rich Morel at long last bring Blowoff, their smash monthly dance party, to NYC’s Highline Ballroom. After years of blowing the roof off DC’s cavernous 9:30 Club, the party’s highly-anticipated NYC debut has Gotham buzzing. It appears that every …

Blowoff was a smash, as always: great tunes, cool video effects, hot banners, and packed with friendly faces. Two highlights: Bob Mould spinning a great reworking of Bronksi Beat’s Smalltown Boy and Why, during which a hot thing named Jocelyn (pictured below) blew us away singing along so amazingly on the dance floor that my goosebumps had goosebumps. Somebody needs …

The soundtrack to this summer’s True Colors tour is available now for download with the physical CD due on August 7th. The highlight (to me) is Morel’s Pink Noise remix of Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors. You probably know Rich Morel from his smash remixes of tracks by Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, and many others – not to mention his …
