Last year marked the first Mixtape Festival, and with headliners like New Kids on the Block , 98 Degrees and LL Cool J , it was far more overt about its nostalgia cash-in purpose than other summer music spectacles. And now the Mixtape Fest is back for a second year, and it promises to be even more blatantly tailored to people who grew up on '90s pop. NKOTB's Donnie Wahlberg was on Ryan Seacrest 's radio show to announce some of the big names on this year's bill , including his [...]

This collection elevates the listener to a tranquil state of suspension somewhere at the intersection of trippy, romantic and ambient. [...]

FADER Mix: Ryan Hemsworth “Ottawa, Ontario’s—and maybe North America’s—fastest rising remixer, Ryan Hemsworth, recorded his FADER mix between tours of Europe and the US . “It’s kind of a sad mix,” he said, explaining, “I had post-Paris depression.” Eschewing the frenetic, wide-grinning pace of previous work, Hemsworth lets these songs—seemingly taken from the goldmine pile of CDs one finds in their teenage bedroom after a long time away—stretch and breathe. “I’m trying to be a little more patient,” he says. A download and tracklist are below; pay close attention to the surprisingly sexy Broken Social [...]

Ah, Putin. He's famous for having endless nationally syndicated and perfectly orchestrated PR behind him, so much so that he invites a camera crew to tape him riding around on a horse with his shirt off and once staged finding deep sea treasure . This time, though, he has done something straight out of the 8th-grade-school-dance playbook: hired Boyz II Men. Not only that, but he hired them for a "national fertility campaign" in an effort to bump up the national average from 1.7 children per family to 3 children. This isn't the first time [...]
I know I'm dating myself here, but I loved Boyz II Men when I was in middle school. "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye," "Motown Philly," "End of the Road," "I'll Make Love to You," "On Bended Knee," "Water Runs Dry"...any one of those songs brings back a million adolescent memories. So I was very [...]

So, Backstreet Boys are out of the picture and NKOTB need some backing to sell the tickets. So, in comes Boyz II Men and 98 Degrees. Let's see how this goes.
