I’m teetering on the brink of finding this annoying now (though not enough to not comment on it, obviously!). WHO ARE YOU ALREADY? Pop Justice thinks the mystery Saran Wrapped singer might be Swede Jonna Lee. Never heard of her? Don’t worry, very few have. But apparently iTunes called her ‘The Next Big Thing’ last [...]

Talk about a match made in heaven! I seem to remember these two touring together once before, but I didn’t catch the shows. This time I most certainly will, especially since they were thoughtful enough to include an Arizona date! It’s in Tucson, admittedly, but beggars can’t be choosers. It’s even on a Friday, so [...]
