And I’m even applauded her efforts on Ashlee Simpson’s lead single “Outta My Head (Blah Blah Blah)” And that song [...]

Ok. Here’s the deal with the NFL tapping into the indie street cred market by using the Arcade Fire’s song “No Cars Go” in Sunday’s Super Bowl broadcast. While the NFL might not have had written express permission to use the song it could be legal under the Ephemeral rule. But if you ask any [...]

      Do You Remember Rock & Roll?

      If not, let the Alabama Shakes remind you. They’re selling out shows across the country and their debut album isn’t even out for another couple months.

      Oh, hey there, East Coast! Looks like you had a bit of an earthquake, huh? Don’t worry, I’m not gonna razz you about it. You’re ill-equipped for the tremors. A big quake would be way more catastrophic there than it would be here. You’re right to be a little jumpy about it. Well, I’m no [...]

      Did You Hear That: Adele “21″ a brief review

      From the first beat of “Rolling in the Deep,” the first track on Adele’s new album, “21”, it is clear that even at such a young age (all of 22 now), singer/songwriter Adele continues to be a force stronger than she may know. As “21” dips into the style of the country South with a [...]
