The House of Blues remained true to its name by bringing the hard-edged blues styling of George Thorogood and the Destroyers to town.

More than music. Those who have listened to Childish Gambino’s second album, Because the Internet, are probably familiar with the larger story that revolves around it: A 75-page screenplay about a spoiled rich kid who hangs out with his friends and trolls the Internet. The many attitudes found in the album range from upbeat […]
With SXSW being just around the corner, I thought I would share some pictures from last year’s mtvU Woodie Awards.

This past Tuesday a legend visited our great city. She brought along Tennessee Singer/Songwriter, Valerie June, who charmed the audience with her blues, country, bluegrass and soul stylings. If they didn’t know who she was when they walked in, they sure knew June when she left the stage. After a short intermission, the curtain pulled […]
With the constant media attention of mainstream rap gearing towards big names such as Jay Z, Kanye West, or Drake, Schooboy Q’s albums are a refreshing change depicting a new sound that can be applied to rap music diminishing altogether the tough-boy appeal. Quincy Hanley, known by his popular pseudonym Schoolboy Q, just recently released […]

With all the success that Beyonce and Jay Z’s “Drunk in Love” has, other artists couldn’t help but release their own versions. Kanye West is featured on the official remix of the single and raps about his wife, Kim Kardashian, over a slightly changed beat. Instead of “surfboard,” Kanye speaks of that “cowgirl.” Beyonce released […]

Mac Miller released the music video for his song “Avian,” one of the tracks off of his album “Watching Movies with the Sound Off.” The video was produced by Larry Fisherman and directed by Rex Arrow. The concept intrigues me to the point where I want to become a bird disciple.
