Courtesy of Tillyman Entertainment Gospel star Tamela Mann's album, Best Days, charted at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 in its first week. "Do you remember when you forgot about RICK SPRINGFIELD?" That's the tagline for the new film An Affair of the Heart, a loving look at the steadfastly intense relationship between the New Wave-era power pop heartthrob and his core audience. The documentary, currently playing the festival circuit, offers many pleasures. Mira Calix Interviewed: Stones Are Where The Heart Is On a green hill on the borders of London, in the eastern square of the Central Line, sits an extraordinary thing. I say thing for a reason – it's hard to describe what it is. It's a huge egg. It's an obelisk made of thousands of round stones. It's a terrifying pagan beast, like something you imagine chancing upon in a public information film, or a primitive BBC horror story from the 1970s.

Gypsy punk Gypsy punk is a hybrid musical genre that crosses traditional Romani music with punk rock. One of the first rock groups to incorporate elements of punk and Gypsy music was Motherhead Bug, which was active mostly in the early 1990s. A broader audience became aware of the genre after the band Gogol Bordello released the album Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike, with front man Eugene Hütz describing their performance as a "Gypsy Punk Cabaret".[1] The term "Gypsy punk" then came to describe the genre and then came under criticism as it was considered exploitative of Roma culture. Gogol Bordello have since insisted it was just the name of their album, which was then taken and used by the music press as a term to define the genre of their music and similar artists — not an offshoot term for authentic Gypsy music.
