What The GIF? Vol. 5
Memorial Day is upon us, which means the pools are ready for splashing (and peeing), white pants are back in season (is that still a thing?) and people are gearing up for a 3-day weekend (does anyone know why we actually celebrate this holiday?)! To kick start yours, V for Vetrano is bringing you another installment of What The GIF?, a countdown of the Top 10 things that run through my head on repeat all day long and keeping me up at night. The past few weeks have delivered some hilarious moments, which made narrowing it down to the top ten quite a challenge. But sorting through thousands of well-crafted…

But I couldn’t let you go any longer without serving up another helping of What The GIF? With the nice weather, and my new project in full swing, I’m ready to get back into the routine of things…

Merry Christmas from Tragic Kingdom with Andy Davis
Over the past couple of months, I’ve hinted at some big things coming to Tragic Kingdom in 2013. One new improvement is the addition of the live acoustic series from my favorite new artists. But, in the spirit of the holiday season, you don’t have to wait until you ring in the New Year to see the first of the series. Consider this my way of saying Merry Christmas to all my readers – You guys have made 2012 my biggest year yet! I’ll have more from Nashville based crooner Andy Davis in January, but here’s what you need to know right now: he’s super talented, he’s cool (and wears equally…

Best of 2011: Top 10 Albums
If 2011 could be remembered for one thing, it would be that in 2011 the music industry was saved… by Adele. Selling 5.82 million copies of her sophomore album 21 – numbers that labels haven’t seen in years – she definitely stands out as one of the industry’s heroes. And even though not all albums saw the same success, there were still some seriously good records that dropped this year. Here’s a list of my favorite. 10. Chancellor Warhol: The Silver Factory. Each track from the 14-track, sophomore LP feels like it was hand-picked and perfectly crafted for this compilation. The clever rhymes match with the album’s equally clever title,…

On the Set: Kelly Clarkson New Video Stills

Britney Spears: Femme Fatale
With only a week remaining until the reigning Princess of Pop, Britney Spears, drops her seventh studio album, you can already hear the music industry’s most well-oiled machines greasing up to embark on the next era in the entertainer’s career. It doesn’t seem long ago that those keyboard power chords of “Baby One More Time” first impacted our stereo. Yet with so much personal turmoil and public scrutiny it’s hard to remember some of the professional highlights from the seasoned star, who’s closing in on 20 years in the industry. One thing that is not hard to forget however, is the formula. Each of the last six Spears albums delivered…

The True Meaning of Photoshop
In a world of botox, injections, and lifts, it seems photoshop editing is getting quite redundant. Doesn’t it? When I get an artist’s latest album artwork in my inbox, I now must proceed with caution. The artists, who spend thousands on stylists, make up, and hair products, are wasting their money. The product is so touched up, the subjects are hardly recognizable. And the latest victims of this over-treatment is the latest crop of Christmas albums prepping release (yes, I am talking to you Mariah Carey – I couldn’t even bring myself to put that up here, but I am sure with a simple Google search, you’ll find it). What…
