I was on a roadtrip with a bunch of buddies recently, and one of the guys randomly had a copy of Blink 182′s Enema of the State album. We threw it in for a little bit of nostalgia during the ride. Awesome decision. As an early 20-something, my high school experience included A LOT of [...]

Take my word for it, this won’t be the last time you hear about Chiddy Bang. Chidera “Chiddy” Anamege and Xaphoon Jones are the latest hip-hop sensation to arise from the Internet, and the hype is more than deserved. The two 19-year olds use their diverse musical backgrounds and talents to create some of the [...]

Brandon Flowers, lead man for the Killer’s, has dropped the video for his first single, “Crossfire,” off of his debut solo album, Flamingo, set to be released on September 14th.

If there’s one thing we know for certain about Adam Levine, the face of Maroon 5, it’s that he and the band aren’t shy to show their love and affection for absolutely everything woman. The band has albums about them; they’ve got songs about them; they’ve got music videos of them — some that showcase [...]

After briefly looking at the Billboard Top 100 list, I’ve come to a conclusion: we need better pop music in our lives. Lately, I’ve come across a number of  phenomenally talented female artists, who I hope might be the answer to this predicament.
