By Dan Gibson My daughter was born in December, and like any parent, I'm concerned about what sort of woman my little girl will become. It's a tricky world to navigate as a parent, between frequent airings of The Hills on MTV and the fact that I'm married to a woman, who despite being generally wonderful, d...

By jharv Said performances ranged from stadium-pro competent (Fall Out Boy) to so forgettable that even detailed notes wouldn't have helped (Boys Like Girls), but the show was invariably at its weakest when the girls in the stands exuded more pep than whoever happened to be on stage at the time (A...

By Maura Johnston Charisma-free pop star Avril Lavigne isn't only deficient in mugging for the camera, she is unaware of the etiquette involved in outdoor shows that are held in snowy conditions: Namely, you don't make your fans freeze their asses off, even if they didn't pay anything to get in. And yet that...

By Kate Richardson Homeward Bound: best live-action animal-centric kids movie ever. "Keep Holding On": Avril's most painfully generic, yet inexplicably epic single. A good combination? Maybe. In theory this video should be pretty shameful--especially for someone like me, who has seen Homeward Bound up...

By Anono-Critic So--despite the unseasonable warmth around the country and after covers featuring Andy Samberg, Kanye West and Jack White (relatively chaste images of Kelly Clarkson and Meg White don't count)--comes the November Blender. Here we have Nicole Scherzinger, her raven locks, her remark...

By mmatos mayhem ensues] Alex: Did a bunch of deaf critics choose this Top 10? Michael: It's the pop charts. It has to do with sales and radio play. Brittany: It has to do with how many 12-year-olds enjoy Avril Lavigne. Mom: It probably has to do with how many disc jockeys "enjoyed" Avril Lavigne.

By dangibs Avril Lavigne kicked off a obviously slow music news weekend by posting an open letter (addressed to the closest people in her life: "Media, Friends, and Fans") to her Web site on Friday. While Avril's "news" page is generally dedicated to hot, while somewhat impersonal, updates like "Gi...

By Brian Raftery Spin presents a meditation on rock stardom in three acts. First comes "Rock Star !/ Rock Star?," in which the current crop of Clear Channel/active rock bands is bemoaned for not living up to the Dionysian standard of Tommy Lee. Then the mag's cover subject, Marilyn Manson, is profiled as "Th...

By mjohnston We weren't too crazy about Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend"—listening to it is still the aural equivalent of getting hit in the face by an overly caffeinated 14-year-old for three and a half minutes—so our expectations for the remix of the track featuring "Lip Gloss" rapper Lil' Mama were l...

By mjohnston Avril Lavigne's The Best Damn Thing may be the No. 1 record in the country this week, but were her sales numbers inflated by listeners' desire to hear Avril sing that she's not just "the mother... princess," but "the motherfucking princess"? A MySpace blog post about one Avril fan's attempts t...

By Brian Raftery Avril Lavigne's The Best Damn Thing has hit the web, just a few weeks ahead of its April 17th release date; after giving it a few listens, we can safely predict that 3/4 of the reviews will include some combination of the words "slick," "hooky" and "Sum 41's Deryck Whibley." Two prototypical...

By mjohnston The other day, we found out that Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" went way beyond the "clean" and "dirty" versions that usually get sent out; there are actually seven versions of the track, and we've unearthed the take that dubs itself as the Mandarin version. Unfortunately, as we learned fr...

By mjohnston We don't expect New Times NYC the Village Voice to take the antics of Canadian eyeliner fiend Avril Lavigne seriously, but that didn't stop us from being left dumbstruck by Garrett Kamps' review of Lavigne's new single, which reaches crit-dickery levels that we haven't seen in at least a...

By mjohnston Thanks to goldenfiddle for unearthing the first single from Avril Lavigne's The Best Damn Thing, the insult-laden "Girlfriend"; Avril allegedly wrote the song with Dr. Luke, who wrote the similarly confrontational "Love Me Or Hate Me" with Lady Sovereign. In the song—which, we have to a...
