A little bit country and a little bit rock and roll might have sounded like an odd mix back in the day but get real, Donny and Marie,…it isn’t that weird. Let’s talk about a new one. How about a little bit Deathcab, a little bit Partridge Family? We’ll let that serve as an adequate … Continue reading

Song of the day: “Jolie Coquine” – Caravan Palace
Nothing like a solid, trippy song to start off the week. Today, I wasn’t only introduced to a new song; I was introduced to an entirely new genre: electroswing. Would I normally listen to this type of thing at work? Probably not. Too distracting. Makes me want to dance. How about on a Monday? Nooo … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Fairfax (You’re Still the Same)” – William Tell
Today is Friday, which, in case you didn’t know, is code word for amazing. The weekend is hours away and a lot of us are dancing in our seats, excited to take a brief break from work or school. Naturally, I had hopes of finding a song that mirrored my optimistic and overly excited attitude. … Continue reading
Song of the day: “The First Single” – The Format
With the success of indie bands at The Grammys a couple of weeks ago, it only seems right that a song from an indie group is featured as song of the day. The Format hails from Arizona and are a mix of alternative, indie and punk. In true “hipster” fashion, they chose their name to make … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Turning Tables” – Adele
British singer-songwriter, Adele, released her second album, 21, today and instantly won me over. I wrestled with myself in terms of turning this into an album review rather than song of the day for longer than I’d like to admit…but settled with sticking to my goal of posting a new song each day. (Don’t be … Continue reading
Song of the day: “That Should Be Me,” Justin Bieber and Rascal Flatts
Alright, I’m starting something new. Because my iPod is crying for new music, I’ve decided to take on a new challenge: to discover a new song every day. Hopefully Pandora can help in this endeavor, but I also hope all of you can give suggestions! Consider this to be your challenge, as well. As I … Continue reading
It’s about to get weird: DFW Boys
“Students come to Notre Dame to learn not only how to think but also how to live…” For alumni The King, Fancy G, Krispy Kreme and Officer Nik Rod, Notre Dame taught them that being down for weird was a way of life. After meeting in South Bend, Indiana, the foursome cemented their bond in … Continue reading
Sneak Peek – Artist to Watch in 2011: Lily Halpern
2010: The year of the teen idols. Will 2011 be any different? With Justin Bieber’s movie coming out in February, and Miley undoubtedly getting into some sort of “newsworthy” trouble sometime soon, it doesn’t seem like the 13-19 age group is done making its mark in the music industry. Lily Halpern, an 18-year-old Boston native, … Continue reading
Rumor Mill: Is Britney Spears really performing at the Grammys?
Grammy Foundation (noun): “The GRAMMY Foundation was established in 1989 to cultivate the understanding, appreciation and advancement of the contribution of recorded music to American culture — from the artistic and technical legends of the past to the still unimagined musical breakthroughs of future generations of music professionals.” My guilty pleasure source (Perez Hilton) says … Continue reading
“Hold it Against Me” – Oh, I think we will…
Oops, she did it again. Britney Spears’ new single leaked today…and I wish it hadn’t. The electro/club/dance sound only contributes to her overly computerized voice, and makes it all sound a bit robotic. It isn’t all that surprising seeing as she seemed to take advantage of technology when she was ridiculously popular, but the girl … Continue reading
