Featured Artist: Electric Owls “Ain’t Too Bright”
Honestly, this record started a year ago when I decided to stop playing music for awhile because being in a band was ruining my life. -Andy Herod “Ain’t too Bright” by the Electric Owls serves up something entirely different than most records today. Rather than having a super new sound or one that was embraced … Continue reading
The Man in the Mirror
Today, the world says goodbye to an international superstar. Michael Jackson, a natural-born performer, stunned audiences everywhere with his songwriting abilities, versatile voice and impeccable dance moves.

Confusion
Hmm..Adam (G)Lambert or Britney Spears? The green snake groping the photo’s subject really throws me off. Adam, we love you, but why is there a snake that close to your zipper?

Matt York “Mine”
A week ago, I had never heard of Matt York. Too bad for me. I am all about music that I can listen do while doing absolutely anything. I want to be able to listen to it while I’m happy, bawling my eyes out, driving to an interview, writing a 24-page paper or while readying … Continue reading
Featured Artist: Tony Lucca
I first fell in love with Tony Lucca on March 1st. He opened up for Sara Bareilles when she sang in Champaign, Ill., and had me sold immediately. The nerdy, thick-rimmed glasses-wearing singer baffled me. I just didn’t quite understand how a voice with that much of a blues vibe could come out of him. … Continue reading
