Haley Barnes isn’t a month into her freshman year at Baylor and she is already stealing the Waco music scene.

Donnie Darko had some of best 80’s music. In fact, if it hadn’t been for this film I would have continued to believed all my young and naive friends who claimed “there was no such thing as good music in the 80s.” Here are a few songs from one of my favorite movie soundtracks.Head Over [...]

Grapevine Fires – Death Cab for Cutie.mp3 (right click to save)The fires in Southern California are incredibly dangerous, scary, and costly.

One of the great (and sometimes not so great) things about Radiohead’s music is that it gets remixed and covered. A lot. “Videotape” was my favorite track off of In Rainbows. I still think the original is the best but here are a few other versions that deserve some attention.Videotape - Radiohead.mp3 (right [...]

My friend Becca tipped me off to this trailer for the upcoming film Away We Go starring John Krasinski. She told me the music by Alexi Murdoch was really great. If you’re a know-nothing music blogger like myself you ask something like “the music is by a girl?!” And then proceed to [...]

Every so often I come across an acoustic set that has really exceptional audio engineering. I don’t know much about decibels or audio levels but I know that Minus the Bear’s new Acoustics EP sounds extremely clean. It’s also great to see artists really reworking a song and shaking things up with an acoustic [...]
