Antony and the Johnsons Prep Beyonce Cover for Release
You would think jet-setting around Europe would keep Antony and the Johnsons sufficiently busy. But apparently teaming up with some of the most well-respected orchestras around the world on a multi-country tour promoting their latest album, The Crying Light, wasn't quite enough for the group. Later this summer, they will release the double A-side single "Aeon"/"Crazy in Love."... read more

But pardon us as we refuse to acknowledge that there are 10 more months left in the year, and instead proclaim this, the cover for Soundtrack of Our Lives' forthcoming record (March 3), Communion, The 2009 Album Cover of the Year.... read more

The Ancient Greeks had several words that can be translated as "love," but three were most commonly used. Eros refers to the romantic love celebrated February 14 and found in 97 percent of all popular music.
