The Lady Gaga episode of "Glee!" is on tonight, and anytime Lady Gaga comes up here (or most places around the interwebs) certain tiresome and utterly uninteresting discussions happen. This is my attempt at a preemptive strike at a couple of those topics: 1. I don't give two shits whether or not you find Lady Gaga fuckable. In fact, the only person who cares less than me is probably Lady Gaga herself. Ooo, you think she's not pretty, random individual on the internet? I'm sure she'll cry herself to sleep tonight in her luxury hotel surrounded by custom made couture while wiping her bitter tears away with $1,000 bills. Seriously. 2. Can we all stop debating whether or not she has a penis? This is one of those rumors that pops up with virtually any prominent female figure that doesn't 100% cater to men's fantasies (for example, I've never heard a rumor that Britney Spears was packing,...

Ke$ha, Coheed and Cambria and more knock last week's champ Jack Johnson out of the top 10.

The critical response to Mgmt's sophomore album Congratulations has been mixed so far, but their fans had no qualms downloading the psychedelic warriors' album from iTunes. According to figures provided by iTunes, the trippy disc shot right to #1 on the iTunes albums chart this week, bumping mellow strummer Jack Johnson out of the #1 position. (In fact, after one week at the top, Johnson was out of the top 10 entirely for the sales week that ended Monday).
Mgmt were followed by Ke$ha's Animal, which likely stormed back up thanks to her appearance on "Saturday Night Live," and Coheed And Cambria's Year of the Black Rainbow, which we like to think was goosed by their win in the MTV Musical March Madness competition.

The weekly iTunes albums and singles chart aren't always identical to the Billboard tallies, because downloading habits are sometimes way different from what people are picking up on the trip to the local Wal-Mart. And while much of this week's iTunes top 10 mirrors the action on the Billboard side, there are a few notable highlights that show where mainstream tastes diverge from Web ones.
Let's take the iTunes singles chart first. It is currently topped by mellow rockers Train with their comeback hit "Hey, Soul Sister," which is a few slots further down on the Billboard side. iTunes doesn't release specific sales figures, but suffice it to say it was another solid week for up-and-coming Mc B.o.B, whose collabo with Bruno Mars, "Nothin' on You,...

Unoriginal group pimped by celebrity label-head makes sophomore album even more boring than its debut was obnoxious
More reserved and amorphous than its predecessor (2006’s scattered, grating I Trust you to Kill Me), Mercy induces an Ambien-like trance that’s difficult to wake from. And it’s just as well—if you doze while playing this record, you’re not missing much. Sure, DeLuca & the Burden can play the notes, but as artists, they have little to say, instead alternately aping Coldplay, Jeff Buckley, Ryan Adams and the John Butler Trio. Mercy achieves the astounding feat of being both pretentious (musically) and dumb (lyrically). Not that you need heady wordplay to make a great rock record, but DeLuca deals exclusively in vacuous lyrical clichés that’ll make you want to stub out a cigarette on your arm to combat the boredom. He’d be well-served by burning his rhyming dictionary...
