Little Boots is an English 'electronic' musician who uses synths etc. She has been hyped up for a while and will have a debut album maybe out this year? She also likes to do covers and post them on Youtube. Her latest is a piano rendition of Kid Cudi's hit Day N Nite. To be honest, I don't like her. First, I will disclose that I haven't heard any of her originals so I can't comment on that. Secondly, her covers are crap. I don't understand why the [...]
Eminem's first album since Encore finally has a release date: Relapse - May 19th! Em had this to say: "A lot of people were expecting Relapse to drop last year. I was one of them. Then Dre and I went back in the studio in September for a few days, and that turned into six months. We were on such a roll; we wound up with a ton of new music produced by Dre. Putting out Relapse 2 will let everyone get all of the best [...]
Gifted is a two piece musical experiment formed by vocalist PJo and producer Saum G . The Chicago duo has been traveling the nation trying to create awareness about their new hip-hop sound , best portrayed on Music , the first single from their upcoming album, Presence . The song is an interesting fusion of simple lyricism, heavy drums, and even elements of electro and classical instrumentation. New sound, indeed. In an effort to help the song gain more exposure, potentially reaching #1 in 2010 (the group's personal goal), popular music [...]
Everybody's working for the weekend. Yeah yeah. Rocked the house. There's no other phrase to describe what Ben Folds did Wednesday night at Princeton's McCarter Theater.

REMINDER:: WATCH THE GRAMMYS TONIGHT ON CBS 8PM ET/PT! Have you ever tried counting how many times you say "Fuck My Life" out loud? No? You should. The results may shock you. I stopped counting after my tally hit 13. Maybe I'm just a big whiner, but a couple of days ago I created this playlist on my iPod to de-stress myself. It features some great tunes that have always made me happy and don't remind me of anything negative - good vibes all around. It worked out pretty well. So when [...]
Happy Super Bowl Sunday. Ready for the fifth episode of the pmaCAST? Grrreat! The title refers to a string of words Chris Martin utters in the Coldplay classic "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face." The actual track wasn't upbeat enough for this particular episode of the pmaCAST, but I decided to I kicked things off with Mark Ronson's thunderous horn-fueled rendition. Hopefully that track will put you in the mood for what is meant to be a really fun, really loud (pump your speakers the fuck up, please) 42ish minutes. Following Mark Ronson's pump up [...]
Ida Maria in NYC. photos by Faith-Ann Young for Brooklyn Vegan Reading the blogs so you don't have too... Brooklyn Vegan used part of my post about Ida Maria on his equally amorous post about the rock goddess playing in New York. Apparently commentors didn't like me referring to her as "better than Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse" and how I completely missed the Karen O comparison. See - now - I
I have had more fun creating this podcast than any other so far. Just assembling these 14 songs was exciting. I know the little previews we'd had so far of future albums have been great (N.A.S.A., Kid Cudi, Little Boots, etc), and of course, we can't forget the already fantastic '09 releases (Bon Iver, Animal Collective) but listening to these songs gives you that little extra ounce of gitty that makes you happy it's 2009. I know a "What To Watch Out For in 20093 list is almost as ubiquitous as a "Best of 20083 list, but I [...]
I happen to read this first site because of their awesome commentary. I don't go there for the sexy name, but they do have a Glasvegas contest up on their site right now. That's sexy,...
The guys at one of our favorite daily websites ever, Pretty Much Amazing! (who, for some reason, also end their posts with a "Godspeed!" salutation), have asked that we compete in their new bracketed competition, "Blog Wars". The competition pits two blogs to face off in an iTunes Genius playlist bout, where each is given the same, single song to build their playlist off of, letting their libraries do the talking. We were given the track "Dr. Carter" by one of our faves from the '08, Lil' Wayne . Readers then vote on the winner and that [...]

I know I said I was feeling good about this whole podcasting thing before, but after seeing everyone's reaction, I am really feeling good about it now. Big shout out to everyone who downloaded and subscribed to the podcast. I really want to make it a constant feature. I also want to thank everyone who left enthusiastic comments of encouragement. I also want to thank Amy who said this: "...but its really just a mixtape isnt it. i would love to hear you talk a little bit about the tracks on the [...]
So... I have something to confess... I have been blog cheating on you! I've had the honour of getting a place as a features writer on Pretty Much Amazing which is one of the biggest music blogs out there and also the first music blog that I ever read. You can read the two pieces I have done for them so far here: Bon Iver "Blood Bank" Review Feature on Paste Magazine's Top Albums of The [...]
I'm feeling pretty good about this whole podcast thing. I really am. I can see this being a semi-monthly thing. Keep your eyes peeled for more info. The basic premise of the pmaCAST is this: I pick 10-15 songs. New or not-so-new, maybe even an oldie here and there. This selection of songs is to be the Soundtrack of your week. Is that asking too much? We'll see how this goes... For the first pmaCAST, I opened up with 2008's best album opener: Kings of Leon's "Closer." This song is so ridiculously great that [...]

I read an article at Pretty Much Amazing! about the Hype Machine 's influence on the music industry, and while I strongly disagree with a lot of the points in the post, it inspired me to launch this new feature. This new feature, The Doggy Bag, is going to be about all the things I don't really have the time to blog during the week, and my idea is to try and collect these thoughts in this feature during the weekends. This post will be about the Hype Machine's influence on the music business and [...]
Lily Allen is pretty awesome and I find her pretty cute/hot, so I am glad to see she's got new material out there. Win win win [Pretty Much Amazing] Here's a great review of the new Love...
Update: The Lemur is turning 17 tomorrow- Blogstars have put together another completely original mixtape to celebrate the event. Make sure you take a visit, comment, and most of all say Happy Bday to the furry dude. The Lemur Blog Yay! I'm 18 today (26th July)! How exciting! The plan for the day was wake up (after a late BBQ last night with some frivolity), take a run, have brunch, open a few pressies/cards and then go to see The Dark Knight. The evening was be topped [...]
