• Top 10 Pop Songs of 2008

  Pop music often gets a bad rap for being disposable or vapid, and in many cases that's true. (Katy Perry, Danity Kane and the Pussycat Dolls, step right up!) But every year, a few irresistible bits of innovative ear candy rocket up the charts and seep into our subconscious. The following ten singles saturated the Top 40 -- or what passes for hit-oriented radio in this topsy-turvy musical climate -- while proving that accessibility doesn't necessarily preclude creativity.

• Spin Magazine Names Lil Wayne Rock Star of the Year

  This one deserves to be debated for awhile. In a somewhat shocking proclamation, Spin Magazine, recently named current Miami resident Lil Wayne as Rock Star of the Year. It's a nice gesture but you've got to wonder if he's really earned it?Before everyone jumps and curses Spin for trying to stir up a little controversy, there are clear reasons on why Wayne is most likely deserving of the title. And it has nothing to do with his guitar skills (or lack thereof). For starters, Wayne's approach to h

• Top Hip-Hop Albums Of 2008

  A couple of weeks ago, an expert on the Harry Potter series told an audience of high school kids how lucky they were to have this Big Shared Experience--these seven books and 41,000 words in common. What does Harry Potter have to do with hip-hop in 2008? In an age when many year-end lists should be subtitled "Ten More Albums You've Never Heard of and Will Never, Ever Hear," plenty. Technology has made the world smaller, and in response, we've found smaller and smaller worlds to inhabit. Think o

• Introducing Subterranean Finds, a New Crossfade Album Review Column

  The last thing the world needs is another rant by some snooty music scribe who actually believes he can peg the next Coldplay or validate some MySpace wannabe. Don't worry; yours truly doesn't make any such presumptions. You won't find any holier-than-thou prognostications here -- just good new sounds worth checking out in the pop/rock/roots/Americana/singer-songwriter/whatever vein. These artists fly well below the radar, but here's some help with tracking their trajectories.The Matthew Herbert

• WMC Preview: Santigold

  Santigold isn't pop. She isn't electro. And she sure as hell isn't hip-hop or R&B, despite what some narrow-minded critics have implied. It's a position she continues to defend, though just listening to her music should allow her to rest her case. Rather her music is a blend of underground sounds, leaning heavily on dub and New Wave with elements of electronica and what she herself calls a "psychobilly" groove. The smartest thing would be to avoid classifying it altogether."I decided to just

• Grrrly Talk: Q&A with Jewel, Playing at the Fillmore Tuesday, November 3

  Jewel's new album Lullaby​Although Jewel became commercially successful at the age of 19 after releasing her thoughtful, melodic, and grrrly brand of Americana folk Pieces of You in 1997, she had already attained a lifetime of experience to draw from. Since her days hobo-ing around (she carried a knife and would totally cut you) to her angel-of-rock (albeit rock of the softer variety) status, she's released six albums since Pieces, has been n
