Jessie J Premieres New Video

[mp3] Jessie J: "Do It Like A Dude (BBC Radio 1)"

Jessie J = Niki Minaj + Ke$ha + Katy Perry + Lily Allen + Kate Nash? Whatever the actual mixture is, with a hefty marketing budget and Dr. Luke at the helm you'll be hearing a lot more from her very soon, like it or not. Jessie J's debut album, Who You Are comes out this Spring via Universal/Republic Records. The above single "Price Tag" is available tomorrow.

Stephen King Has Lost It

...And you thought Paste was out of touch. Stephen King, he of those classic horror novels and the occasional Entertainment Weekly column, has exhibited his complete cultural irrelevance with a Best Albums of 2008 list in this week's EW. Dude, we love you and respect you for all that you've done in the world of fiction over the last half-century... but please stay away from writing about music.

This guy has named -- wait for it -- Buckcherry's Black Butterfly as his top pick of 2008. SERIOUSLY? BUCKCHERRY? The sleazy washed-up cock-rock band whose biggest hit was called "Crazy Bitch"? You would've been better off bestowing Hinder worthy of such a title. (We kid. Hinder can eat it, too.) Of the opus, he says it was "the best hard-rock album I heard this year (with one sweet and unforgettable song called 'All Of Me.')" He also praises Katy Perry and AC/DC in the column. (Alas, She and Him is nowhere to be found...) All other critics, take note: you're not going to beat this. Stephen King has officially one-upped all of us.

See the full list after the jump.

(To be fair, some of this is decent. But that doesn't negate anything, Mr. King.)

10. James- Hey Ma
9. Randy Newman- Harps And Angels
8. Lindsey Buckingham- Gift of Screws
7. Al Green- Lay It Down
6. Coldplay- Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends
5. Alejandro Escovedo- Real Animal
4. Girl Talk- Feed The Animals
3. James McMurty- Just Us Kids

The Spinto Band Goes Live Tomorrow

The Spinto Band: "Summer Grof" mp3

We know tomorrow is a Saturday and all, but you should probably be huddled in front of your computer screen if you happen to be home. Delaware's great white hopes, The Spinto Band, are playing the inaugural YouTube LIVE event at San Francisco’s Herbst Pavilion in Fort Mason Center. Part concert, part variety show and part party, this thing will probably be off the chain... or at least pretty cool for an Internet concert. And check out who's joining the indie band for the event: folks like Will.I.Am, Akon, Soulja Boy, Katy Perry and a whole lot of celebs ranging from famous to mildly-recognizable. (We think Spinto's inclusion on the bill is kind of strange, but hey, great for them.) The band released a fantastic record in October called Moonwink via Park The Van that you should check out this second. (Grab "Summer Grof" above.) The whole shebang starts at 8pm ET. It's totes free. And you'll have the best seat in the house: www.youtube.com/LIVE
