As promised, here’s the first “Fave Cover Friday” post! It was very hard picking the first song for this segment…But after several pros and cons lists, heads or tails flips, polls, etc., I finally decided on Taylor John Williams’ version of Kanye West’s song “Heartless”. “Heartless” was released in 2008 as Kanye’s second single from […]
Kanye West came onto Ellen this Thursday to show off the video he produced for “Only One,” a song inspired by his daughter, North West. From its simplistic style and endearing words, it is sure to make you believe he has become a different person after developing a family with Kim Kardashian and becoming a father. […]
In celebration of Psychocandy’s 30th anniversary, The Jesus and Mary Chain have announced a North American tour. The Scottish band will be crossing the pond this May to perform Psychocandy in its entirety in select cities. With that said, our beloved Lone Star State will be graced with not one, but TWO shows! Unfortunately, Houston […]

This year, he will touring with Travis Scott for their “Rodeo Tour.” Below is the poster for the tour along with dates and locations. If you missed out on Young Thug’s concert, this will definitely make up […]
So, I’ve been trying to think of ways to bring something new to the table that is also consistent. While pondering ideas and listening to my music on shuffle, I came to the realization that I have so many songs that are from my favorite artists, but sung by different artist- covers. Some covers from random […]
What can be said that hasn’t been said about these “riot grrrl” pioneers; the undisputed indie-rock triad that is Sleater-Kinney. They were the femme-punk-triple-attack dosage of biting vocal performance and swirling guitar leads that could get you through any moment of self-awareness due to your mundane daily service to the system or getting you […]
If you’re like me, you can spend hours making playlists for different occasions. To be honest, I pay more attention to my Spotify and iTunes than I did my Neopets back in 2008 and that is saying something. (kudos if you had a Neopet) Whether old, new, over played or unheard of…check out these 15 […]
Native Detroit rapper, Big Sean is about to drop his third studio album and no one was prepared for its announcement last night. If you follow the artist on Twitter, you might have noticed a cryptic tweet on his account saying just one word: “done.” Later Sunday evening, Sean announced his follow-up to 2013′s “Hall Of Fame” with […]
Gather ’round children. Gather ’round. Although 2015 has just started…it’s about start feeling like the ’90s again. The New Kids on the Block stopped by Good Morning America on Monday to announce plans for a summer headlining tour featuring girl group TLC and rapper Nelly. I’ll give you a moment to let all of the nostalgia […]
The band that many 90’s kids channeled their early teenage angst through has come back, and like many of us, the band changed in their Hot Topic skinny jeans for cooler, trendy Urban Outfitter jeans. I can only compare it to seeing a friend/relative after they’ve grown up and come back from college. Sure they’ve […]
“I’m sorry for the wait. Tha Carter gon’ be late, so I cooked up a tape.” -Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. After a little hiatus, we finally get substance from Mr. Carter aka Lil’ Wayne. The artist’s 2011 mixtape Sorry 4 the Wait was released as a sort of apology for Tha Carter IV‘s delay. Now, since Tha Carter V has […]
Earlier this week Chazwick Bundick, other wise known as Toro y Moi, released a new track titled “Empty Nesters” along with the announcement of his upcoming fourth album, What For?. For those who have been following Toro y Moi, “Empty Nesters” is not, in any way, similar to any of his previous material. The new track features a […]
At promptly seven pm the doors at the House of Blues opened in to welcome a mass of eager Rebelution fans to their much anticipated, sold out show. As always the venue, packed with chattering, bouncing fans awaiting the band provided its relaxed, intimate vibes. Dreads, tribal sweaters, and even pockets of sorority girls composed […]

Ben Gibbard’s voice makes me feel nostalgia for things I haven’t even experienced, and from the moment I first heard it wafting through my headphones, there was no going back. “Death Cab for Cutie” has consistently been one of my favorite groups and I’ve had a little hole in my heart since their last album release […]
You have probably heard the song “Sweater Weather” playing on the radio, right? You are also probably familiar with their logo consisting of a black-and-white house flipped upside-down. Well, put those two together and you have American rock band, The Neighbourhood which formed in August 2011. The band is composed of vocalist Jesse Rutherford, guitarists Jeremy […]
When you’re 16, you can get your driver’s license. When you’re 18, you can vote. What about 17? What’s good about that awkward middle age, when you’re too young to be thought of as an adult but too old to get the privileges of being a child? Well, I’ll tell you what’s so great: YOU’RE […]

A couple of days ago at 3 AM Central Standard Time, Gambino released a music video for the song “Sober” which originates from his album STNMTN/Kauai. It was, to say the least, a pretty […]
