discipline.jpgIn a long-overdue bit of acknowledgement, Desmond Child–the man behind many of the finest in ’80s power ballads, as well as disco Kiss and Ricky Martin–will enter the Songwriters’ Hall Of Fame on Thursday, along with relatively minor songwriting figures as John Sebastian, Loretta Lynn, and Albert Hammond. Child tells the Miami Herald, “It was funny because I had been nominated twice before but I hadn’t made it, and I spoke to the heads of it and they said, ‘Well, we always thought you were too young to get it, but then we recently looked at your bio and realized you are old. You just looked young.” As most of his big-name collaborators are out touring this summer, Desmond Child has been forced “by default” to reunite his late ’70s combo Rouge for the ceremony. While it would be insane to try and list all of his greatest achievements (“Kiss The Rain”? “Born To Be My Baby”? “Shake Your Bon Bon”?), we’ve compiled a list of every ASCAP-registered song of his that features the word “love” in the title. Can you guess how many there are?

AP080429031398.jpgLooks like Judas Priest will have some competition for “Most Awesome Concept Album By A Metal Act That Really Has No Place Recording A Concept Album in 2008.” Alice Cooper’s Here Comes A Spider, out on July 29, will describe the life of a serial killer named Spider, who is killing people and taking their limbs in order to create a spider. Says Cooper, “Every song is sort of a letter to the police. They think they’re investigating it from the outside, but he’s actually woven them into the whole thing.” Also woven into the whole thing are frequent Alice Cooper album guest stars Slash and Ozzy Osbourne, who will play a harmonica part on a song the two co-wrote.

Menswear designer John Varvatos will apparently open a boutique at 313-315 Bowery sometime in the next few months. So why is this Idolator-worthy news–because Varvatos used a snake-bedecked Alice Cooper as a model recently, and is a “fan of musicians and the rock scene”? More »
