’12 Years a Slave’ featured by Legend

If you thought John Legend was digging back into music history for the ’60s-activist collection “Wake Up!,” wait until you hear the soundtrack for “12 Years a Slave.”

Suicidal Tendencies keeps fizzing, even if soda’s diet

Thirty years after first furiously demanding a Pepsi on “Institutionalized,” the signature track on Suicidal Tendencies’ self-titled 1983 debut, frontman Mike Muir is still requesting said beverage in song.

Music scene worthy of cornucopia of gratitude

On this day of expressing gratitude, here are some of the things that I’m most thankful for, musically speaking, from the past year:

Lostprophets lead singer admits sex offenses

The former lead singer of British rock band Lostprophets has pleaded guilty to a series of sexual offenses, including trying to rape a baby.

Philharmonic pays tribute to patriotism, JFK

Saturday’s Las Vegas Philharmonic program shared a theme, “Love of Country,” but spanned three centuries in the process. Two Beethoven works were composed in the early 1800s, a little-known piece by American composer George Walker dates from 1946, and Peter Lieberson’s “Remembering JFK” had its premiere in 2011.

This is the challenge that Drake wrangles with on his latest disc, the equally absorbing and obnoxious “Nothing Was the Same”: How does he revel in his success without becoming dulled by it?

Tuxedoed crooner Buble bringing 13-piece band to MGM Grand

If Frank Sinatra was still around and looking for songs to cover, would he croon Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky”? If our only gauge is Michael Buble, then the answer is yes.

Tickets: Maroon 5 returning to Las Vegas

Pop rockers Maroon 5 return to the Mandalay Bay Events Center on Dec. 30 and 31. Tickets are $99.50, $124.50, $174.50 and $224.50 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at Ticketmaster outlets.
