I don't think my heart can take this anymore. Its break all over again for music. This is what happened. A few weeks ago I found an awesome radio station here in the Bay Area. Now if your from here, you would know the big/popular station consist of bad rap music and stupid pop songs that replay over and over again. These stations are influenced and powered by clear channel. Clear channel is under the impression the more you play a song the more people will like it. So everyday I have to listen to Usher or Rhianna twenty times [...]

www.youtube.com/watch?v=v27TRa n1SBI Okay this next band have been making a name for themselves since their formation. But some of us may already know about them. But just in case here's a little summary of their career thus far. They originally formed in 2006. They have two full length albums. Titles: Cage the Elephant and Thank You Happy, Birthday . Since I don't want to bore with a round-about-way of stating my critics I'm just going to say what I think flat out. I think this band [...]
What can I say about the Grammy Awards? There were some highs and there were some lows. Because of this I plan to write several posts about the ceremonies. But the first thing I would like to discuss is about one band. A band that practically Oh yeah!!! What the hell is up with Lady Antebellum???? Did they really have to steal from The Alan Parsons Project!!! In case you have no idea what or who I'm talking about here's a little history lesson. Lady Antebellum "took" the background music from a great and wonderful duo called The [...]
Okay...I know it's been a while since my last post. And I know I have some explaining to do...so here ir goes. A few months ago I graduated from college. (Yay for me!) But this also meant I had to get a job and actually start my life. (Yes, it was kinda scary.) I managed to get an internship at a couple of record labels and I was really excited. Here I was accomplishing my dreams with a diploma under my arm. For the longest time I thought I was ahead of the game compared to my fellow classmates. Most [...]
So, I think the music gods are now moving toward the great state of Utah. Why...I'm not really sure but in the grand search of new music I'll go wherever I have to. But let's get to the actual music. I recently heard that this great band called Neon Trees will be gracing the Bay Area with a live performance at Slims in a few days. Now I wish I could go but when you don't have a job you need to make sacrifices like this. (I know, it sucks for me.) But in case your were thinking [...]
Sorry for the long silence people but lately, I've been unable to find really good stuff. Nothing has really said, "Steph, you need to listen to me. Over and over again." Or, "Steph, you just love me." But all of that has changed. I have a band that is yelling both of these statements. Well, I should say a track is saying these things. They are called Anberlin and they hail from a place called Winter Haven, Florida. What is mostly interesting about this group is that they [...]
This is not a book review!!! Oh wait, let me explain in case you have no idea what I'm talking about. "Bird By Bird" is the title of a great and easy to use writing manual. It was written by a woman called Anne Lamott and has written a plethora of novels and non-fiction books. But "Bird By Bird" isn't your typical grammar book. It actually helps writers find their voice, develop story content, and most importantly...ignite their passion to write. But like I said this is not a book review. This post is about a band from [...]
Here's are some suggestions for that Baggin' 4th of July Playlist. (Yes... and it should be called the Baggin' 4th, for short.) And remember...be safe...have a great time...and as always, enjoy the music. Jimi Hendrix - Star Spangled Banner Amp Live - Chick Pop R.E.M - It's The End of the World As We Know It Franz Ferdinand - This Fire
Now I have had the great privilege of watching these guys perform live. While my friend (music snob) was commenting on their girl power lyrics. (Yes, he reduced this band to a 1970's phrase that was once considered a movement but is now an insult.) Well, this post is to prove this description wrong and how we can benefit from hearing them out. 1) We've already heard their songs on shows like Grey's Anatomy . CSI: Miami and New York. And my all time favorite show , Entourage. [...]
Yay, I finally get to talk about a band from the Bay Area. (Its been a while.) They go by the name of the Morning Benders and are making a name for themselves. Even though they are considered indie they have played with some real heavy hitters such as, Yo La Tengo, MGMT, and We Are Scientists. They are just a good old fashion rock/pop group who now hitting up some major cities on their tour. So if you like you hear go out and buy a ticket to their show. I'm sure they would really appreciate [...]
Okay I just found this band will be touring with one of favorite bands of all time Chromeo and I felt it was my duty to talk about them. Or least explain a thing or two about them. They hail from Brooklyn, New York and they have categorized themselves as Tropical. Now when I hear tropical I think Sade, UB40, maybe some Sublime. Not Holy Ghost. I would just consider them a cool DJ duo who like to make laid back electronic music. Maybe its the laid back part they want to focus on. [...]
So everyone knows that I am obsessed with music. You will always find with a pair of headphones around my neck and an iPod in my pocket. That's just how I roll. But what most people don't understand is that I consider my music my life support. It's not that I would die if I can't my music. I just don't want to live in world where music is restrictive. This is also why I love music that combines genres, break the rules, even melt my face a little. So when I heard a track from this [...]
So its has come to my attention that the rock n roll lifestyle is not dead. Drugs, sex, and alcohol has been an influence in the genre ever since The King first picked up a guitar and mic. Not much has changed when it come the band WaVVes. (Yes, waves with two V's.) The lead singer, Nathan Williams, experienced a not so great breakdown last year but from the sounds he's doing better. I hear that they are about release an EP and hopefully fulfill a tour without an disruptions. So let's hope for the best and [...]
