And It’s Not Even My Birthday… Posted: 04 Jan 2012 09:24 PM PST …OH WAIT, BUT ACTUALLY IT IS. Yay! I’m 23! And…look! All of my bestest friends came together to surprise me with birthday cake and balloons! There’s Godney (obviously), The Holy Madge and Queen Kylie–even Miss Keri Baby and Goddesses Heidi Montag and Courtney Stodden showed up! What an iconic, glamorous and star-studded event! Thank you all so much for the birthday love! And while we’re here: Thank you to every single reader/Muuser/MuuStan for visiting, reading, sharing, loving, and yelling at me in the comments every day to help make MuuMuse so utterly free of all flaws for over four years running. It’s my baybeh, and I’m so, so completely and utterly grateful for the wonderful people I’ve met along the way and the amazing opportunities I’ve had–from the minor (being featured in the New York Times) to the major (my tweet was read aloud on The Voice.) Now then… LET’S DANCE.

Paris Hilton Talks About Upcoming House Album Due This Summer, World Remains Unprepared Posted: 04 Jan 2012 01:15 PM PST SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND GET THE STARS OUT OF YOUR EYES BECAUSE NOTHING IN THIS WORLD COULD POSSIBLY MATTER MORE THAN THIS. Paris Hilton, Flaw-Free Socialite and Queen of the Dance Floor, has finally begun opening up about her new album, which she says will be released this summer. The iconic famous-for-being-famous person/sometimes songstress spoke about her new upcoming projects–including her music–for her cover feature in the January 2012 issue of FHM. From the NY Daily News: “I have a huge passion for house music,” she says in the January issue of FHM magazine. “It always has been my passion. I just haven’t been able to focus on it, because I have been doing reality TV for so long now.” The New York-born heiress reveals she’s teamed up with top deejays to work on her next album, which she says will leave people “really surprised.” “It’s very modern and very catchy; perfect party music,” she says of her sound. Hilton, 30, reached momentary success when she released her self-titled debut album, “Paris,” in 2006. Though sales were generally low, her first single, “Stars Are Blind,” reached the Top Ten on music charts in 17 countries. “There are just so many great deejays right now. And I should know, I’ve been to over 100 raves in the past year, so I’ve heard every type of music,” she adds. As we already know, “Take Over Control” hitmaker Afrojack premiered a very early, genuinely mind-blowing demo of a track the two worked on together (tentatively called “Good Time”) at a festival last September. Oh, and she’s definitely not kidding about the whole 100 raves thing–her Twitter’s been filled to the brim with TwitPics and tweets all year long inside clubs and arenas, where she’s been hanging out onstage with acts like Afrojack, Deadmau5 and Avicii. Now, 2006′s Paris remains a pop gem. (Yes, I’m being completely serious, and anyone who disagrees with me is lying to themselves and almost definitely hates their life.) But this album? This might just raise things to a whole new level. WE ARE NOT WORTHY.

That Girl Is A Monster: Introduucing…Meg Myers! Posted: 04 Jan 2012 10:59 AM PST Monster by Meg Myers Genre: Alternative rock Sounds like: Fiona Apple, Alanis Morrissette, Marina + The Diamonds Meet Meg Myers, a rising musician based out of Los Angeles. While details about the singer are still somewhat minimal, we’ve got one excellent tune to work with: “Monster.” The song was co-scribed and produced by Doctor Rosen Dosen, the up-and-coming producer responsible for a couple of MuuMuse’s favorite remixes over the past years for acts like Britney and Lady Gaga, as well as his exciting collaborative project with a slew of rising female pop stars, including Kay and Jessie And The Toy Boys, called GIRLS. Yet Myers’ sound is a complete departure for Rosen: There’s no pop beats to be found here–only jagged riffs and raw, vulnerable lyrics: “My love, too much/Your love, not enough,” Myers sadly croons above a slow-strumming guitar before launching into the song’s haunting chorus: “Oh, what it takes out of me to lay by your side!” As Rosen explained to me, the song’s stripped production is a nod to ’90′s alt-rock–from Nirvana to Portishead. “What have I done? I’m a fucking monster!” Myers bitterly yelps at one point, her voice quivering with all the anguish of a classic Morrissette angst track. Although Myers’ 6-track debut EP isn’t due for release until later in January, you can already hear two more cuts from the EP on her official website, including the piano-tinged, hook heavy “Adelaide” and “Poison,” which surges with a slightly more modern electro-rock flare (and was also featured on Rosen Rosen’s Girls Vol. 1.) What I like most about Myers, as with fellow alt-rock chanteuses Skylar Grey and, to a somewhat more pop-oriented extent Marina And The Diamonds, Lana Del Rey and Sky Ferreira (when she’s in a more punk mood), is that she provides a breath of fresh air in a rapidly smothering climate of club-pop. Don’t get me wrong–I live for the stuff, but there’s more than enough room for some snarling, kick-ass rock chicks to come clawing their way to the top of the charts and adding some much-needed variety to radio. Coupled with comeback LPs from industry veterans like Garbage and No Doubt a little later in 2012–along with the rumored, much-delayed return of Fiona Apple (dear God, let it be!)–this might just be the year that (good) rock finally makes a comeback. “Monster” is available as a free download at Myers’ official website.
