Pop-punk staples to return to Detroit for reunion tours

By Carmen Bojanowski · Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2012

A while back, I wrote a column discussing the downfall of the pop punk music scene.

Matt on Music: Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Kiss'

By Matt Rice · Sunday, Sept. 30, 2012

Carly Rae Jepsen’s new LP, “Kiss,” opens with “Tiny Little Bows.” The song begins with a disco-synth riff, followed by a voice singing, “Cupid, draw back your bow and let your arrow go.” Any ’60s soul fan can tell you, after listening to this, that it is a sample of Sam Cooke’s “Cupid,” although Cooke’s voice has been placed in a much higher register.
