Kanye West won three Grammys last night for those didn't watch. Ask we know when Ye' was in his early teens, he predicted his success. In honor of those awards, CBS 22s Jim Williams produced a very interesting feature where he talked to his former teachers, about some of those very qualities that have molded him into the international celebrity he is.

It's a new year and with every new year comes a rush of artists releasing videos and albums at an alarming pace. While we mostly stick to posting artists' videos on our Twitter or Facebook pages on a daily basis, lately it seems that they're coming in far too quickly to keep up. What we're left with is an ever-growing pile of material that you may never hear... and we can't let that happen, can we? You may remember our [...]

Tell All Your Friends Having children causes a lot of musicians to slow down. For Polica frontwoman Channy Leaneagh, it inadvertently took her career to another level. The Minneapolis-based singer had found some local success in Roma di Luna, a roots group that broke up in 2010 when Leaneagh and her bandmate/husband also split. Now, with an infant at home and needing to keep creating music, something had to change. "After I had a baby, I started writing on my own, writing in silence," Leaneagh tells Spinner," [...]

Rolling Stone: "Just like the Nashville DIY scene, United States of Being is loud, a little grimy and fun as hell. PUJOL might be growing up fast, but they're having the best time doing it." More and more, Nashville is proving itself as good of a breeding ground for frantic good-time garage rock bands as it has historically been for crooning country songs. One of the latest examples is PUJOL , a four-piece led by guitarist Daniel Pujol. The band channels the youthful reckless abandon we've heard from Nashville acts like Be Your [...]

This guest post is by Bob Baker of www.TheBuzzFactor.com Since 2006, hip-hop artist MC Lars has been a poster boy for indie music success and the DIY work ethic. After a short-lived relationship with Terry McBride and the Canadian record label/management company Nettwerk five years ago, Lars formed his own label, Horris Records. Since then, he has taken his self-described "post-punk laptop rap" and delivered it to a target audience he calls the [...]

The world that we know today has become highly competitive. There is a large percentage of educated and extremely qualified people vying for opportunities that are limited. Quite naturally, the selection processes and procedures have become more streamlined. Nowadays, psychometric assessment and aptitude tests are being conducted by employers for screening potential job applicants. Several educational institutes are also using these tests to find the most meritorious amongst a large number of students wanting to get registered for different courses. Given this scenario, both students and job applicants need to be well aware of the different types [...]

In the past few years, you would have witnessed a remarkable increase in the usage of aptitude tests both at the workplace and the educational set-up. Employers use aptitude tests for selecting potential job applicants. Similarly, educational institutes use aptitude tests to score students for finding the most meritorious student amongst the lot. You could easily achieve a high score in job aptitude tests by taking out sufficient time to practise questions asked in such tests. However, for this you will need to familarise yourself with the type of aptitude test you would be encountering and practice [...]

I'm not sharing this video because of the NFL or because of the athlete. I'm sharing this because of the important message related directly to success and finding it. You've heard it before: If you want to be on the same level as the people that you look up to, you'll need to work really, really hard. The secrets to success are revealed through hard work. If you're going to be successful you've got to be willing to give up sleep. This does not mean do not sleep. However, it does mean [...]

At first I questioned why Chris Brown added ‘Deuces’ to the album as it had been officially released as a single on June the 25th 2010 and was available on his ‘Fan of a Fan’ mixtape since May last year. However on second thought I found it appropriate as he’s moved on from a very [...]

Interpol - Success Interpol , the album, by Interpol . Success – Success is a long-play opener of fecund opera. Feverish trading guitars cocoon bass grinds of hypnotised dance; bass lines reminiscent of previous bouts (re: Turn On The Bright Lights) (For one here so close to his leave, Carlos D is ensuring fun is had.). “I’ve got two secrets, but I only told you [of] one. I’m not supposed to show you.” Interpol usher through Success , the albums shortest track, the zestful return, [...]

A new jewel just dropped into my mailbox today and I had to post up about it. Let me start off by saying that for my money the most consistent hip hop label in the game today and for the past 5 years or more has been Tres Records . People Under The Stairs, Giant Panda, Shawn Jackson, Paten Locke, C.R.A.C., are just a few of the artists that have called Tres Records home. All the artists on the label are united by one thing: a commitment " to procuring the hip-hop [...]
