Artist: Cage

★★★☆☆ Chillout and post-cosmic disco with a bluegrass slide this is the sound of a duo taking flight. Jamie Paton and Nigel Hoyle nestle in a hutch of guitar-strummed easiness and reassuring nostalgic so you're comfortable, at one with the world, enjoying the scenery. When the beats get more leaden, such as with the psych rock-driven "In Todd We Trust," you're turfed off the couch, the thin line between timeless and dated beginning to shift. As Migration becomes a game of what-happens-next, the big standouts/sore thumbs are Cage & Aviary declaring themselves [...]

Shia LaBeouf and Kid Cudi produced a film that dropped this Halloween about a film crew that follows two serial killers as they document their nightly exploits.

Kid Cudi is a complicated artist. Ever since he showed up on the scene, his output has been constantly evolving. Sometimes he's the lonely stoner, sometimes he's Mr. Rager, and sometimes he dives deep into much darker waters. He raps, he sings, he rocks, and there are some things that only Cudi can pull off. This is one of those things. While the constantly changing sound and style of Kid Cudi might throw off listeners from time to time, it also gives Cudder the freedom to explore as an artist instead of trying to stick to a script.

Think of the first James Bond movie you ever saw as a kid. Was the opening action sequence, a staple of the franchise, not the most thrilling thing your young eyes had ever witnessed? In a few short minutes you learned everything you needed to know about 007: he's clever, he's lethal, he has toys cooler than anything your parents let you buy, he has women you can only dream of, and he never ever gets hit by the innumerable bullets shot at him. Those crafty escape or chase sequences set the tone for the rest of the film, bringing [...]

Sometimes, the best songs are not the newest songs. We all have at least one old song that we throw on constantly, even though it's outdated. Often times, some of these songs are even songs that never went mainstream, but should have. Well, we have thousands of these songs, that's why we do Throwback Thursdays. Once a week, we will bring you a glorious track that we just can't shake off. Whether it be a year, five years, or ten years old, we'll show you one dated song that will tickle your fancy. Do you have a dope [...]

I've been to several concerts at Deer Lake Park and none have been as full as Cudi's. That being said, a lot more people [...]

Sallie's got soul. Her new Dirty Radio LP is a hit here at b3sci HQ.
