I appreciate good entertainment in the form of tasteful music like any avid music listener. I regularly try not to ask questions so that things that aren’t the way I feel are assumed. The type of music I listen to I feel the same way about as well. Before I categorize anything I listen to [...]
This year the Bonnaroo Festival celebrated its tenth year in existence. Reminiscent of Woodstock, the festival is held on a farm in Manchester, Tennessee. It is a festival of music and arts held each year since 2001, and lasts four days. This year this very well organized festival hosted many artists and musicians over a [...]
Full disclosure: I am not a Lady Gaga fan. I don’t dislike her, but I don’t get the hype around her either. To me, she’s more of a media icon than a musician. But she sells records and I can’t be mad at her for that. Gaga’s album “Born This Way”, the long-awaited follow-up to [...]
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlGWRPnp0ok[/youtube]Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All is a collective freak hip-hop group made up of ten different young artists.

Well, maybe this new [...]

I’m under 30, but even I can tell that a lot of “popular” artists are repackaged versions of previous musicians. *cough* Lady Gaga *cough* But this guy Miguel is pretty good for a post-millenium artist. He kind of resembles a cross [...]
The Robbie Seay Band’s opening song on the album Torn is a great way to start your Easter morning. The band has a full-rounded sound and the title song is called “Song of Hope (Heaven Come Down)”. Their music is very contemporary and fits right in where we are today. This is an excellent group [...]
Celebrate St Patrick’s Day by inviting some friends over for your own “music festival” of Irish Bands. Have an Irish feast prepared with lots of Irish drinks and the most important ingredient, the bands. I have only a few suggestions here, but do ask your friends to bring some of their own along and have [...]
