  • Ranking Alanis Morissette's 'Jagged Little Pill' 20 Years Later

    Alanis Morissette didn't release her debut album in 1995 but she may as well have: 'Jagged Little Pill' took the teen pop star who had released two questionable previous records and tore them into jagged little pieces. When the vocalist reared up and roared into the first hook of first single "You Oughta Know," the world took heed. Hang with Music Times as we count down the tracks on 'Jagged Little Pill' from least favorite to vice versa.

  • Red Hot Chili Peppers Reportedly Working With Danger Mouse

    Amid all the Super Bowl chaos and Katy Perry praise, Flea posted a tweet over the weekend reportedly confirming Danger Mouse as the producer for the next Red Hot Chili Peppers album.

    South African hip-hop duo Die Antwoord has shared the music video for their song "Ugly Boy," which you can check out below. The video, directed by Die Antwoord member Ninja, features a couple cameo appearances from other musicians — who are apparently "ugly boys" — including Marilyn Manson and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
