First Listen: Taylor Swift "Red" Bonus Tracks
Last week Tragic Kingdom was the first – and only – place to stream Taylor Swift‘s Red in its entirety. Since then, you’ve flooded my Twitter requesting the bonus tracks – yes, I heard your plea. Typically I’d send you to Target or Wal-Mart to hear those tracks, but I’m feeling extra generous this week. Maybe because the holidays are right around the corner? Or my love for all things pumpkin-flavored has been satisfied with the taste of Fall? Whatever the reason, I’m once again delivering your chance to be the FIRST to hear these six bonus tracks, which appear on the deluxe version of Red this Tuesday. You’re welcome. And as a thank you,…

First Listen: Lana Del Rey "Without You"
With just days from the release of Born To Die, the debut album from Lana Del Rey, another track surfaces on Tragic Kingdom. Serving as a preview of what’s to come from the Deluxe Version of the beautiful debut from the singer, enjoy this first listen of “Without You”. A haunting melody swells around lyrics, that fill the singer’s Twitter bio (Everything I want I have/ Money, notoriety and Rivieras/ I even think I found God/ In the flash bulbs of your pretty cameras). A love story that so desperately calls to be included in feature films, the track is reason alone to spring for the Deluxe Version of the…

No Doubt Prepares First New Disc in a Decade
If it hasn’t become painfully obvious, my updates have been few and far between lately due to some exciting new ventures I am working on. And while I look forward to introducing you to them in the coming weeks, I am doing my best to bring you the most relevant and up-to-date music news as possible. Tragic Kingdom is active on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr (our micro-version of the site, which includes all our content from here and more from inside my crazy mind). And it’s there that you’ll find Rolling Stone‘s interview with No Doubt about their upcoming release.

Twitter "Rap" Up
So, Miley Cyrus, deleted her Twitter account and the gossip sites were all a buzz. Stories broke that Miley was dating a new guy that didn’t like her obsession with the social networking site, while some sites even reported that an “enraged” Billy Ray, Miley’s dad, was pleading for her to come back to the site. Looks like Miley is getting closer and closer to that inevitable breakdown, similar to the one Britney suffered over the past few years. Check out this video/rap that Miley lip-sychs her way thru to explain to fans why she left her tweeting days behind. It’s so ridiculous, I couldn’t resist sharing it with y’all.
