Katy Perry says her new single with Snoop Dogg, “California Gurls,” is a West Coast answer song to Alicia Keys and Jay-Z’s “Empire State Of Mind.” (The song debuted this week at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.) Perhaps a new West Coast/East Coast battle is brewing. But could Katy’s spelling also be a nod to Big Star? “September Gurls” was one of the better-known songs by the band, led by recently passed cult figure Alex Chilton. What do you think: Is Katy a Big Star fan, or did she just misspell “Grrrls”? Just the first paragraph from The Week In Music. Imagine how great the rest is.
