If you don’t really recognize the name Lisa Hannigan it’s not your fault. A lot of her amazing work, and wealth of talent, has come as the backing singer to Damien Rice. Although, to be fair, I feel as if many of the songs she contributed to with Damien could easily have been listed as duets or at least joint ventures. Well regardless of their obvious musical chemistry awhile back these

Granted the movie is a bit dumbed down and crass, even sophm...

Adam Weber is a local artist that I’ve known now for awhile. I was trying to remember today the circumstances under which we first met and I simply cannot recall. We both were students at the same university, but for the life of me I can’t remember why or how we actually met. In my mind being at school always meant knowing Adam Weber, although I am certain this cannot be the case.Well la

If you’re like me you’ve probably seen a few football games over the past week or so. Between the college bowl games and the NFL playoffs I’ve seen my fair share of advertisements {becuase, let’s face it, American football is designed with one and one thing only in mind; revenue}. Anyway, I first saw the new Esurance advert last week and I was really pleased to see Cloud Cult getting s

Well I referenced this track briefly in my previous post about the up and coming rhyme heavy Novel and true to my word I’m spread some Common love around today. This track by Common, apparently influenced by Afrika Bambaataa, features Pharrell and is available on Common’s latest album Universal Mind Control (amazon) (itunes). I’m not sure if I’m a fan of the rest of the album. In fac

Chances are if you listen to pop music today you’ve heard something written and influenced by a man who goes by the name Novel. Among others he’s worked with Kelis and Alicia Keys as well as spending time producing, writing, and arranging various tracks. In short you can think of him as a sort of up and coming version of Wyclef {not surprisingly he lists Lauryn Hill as his biggest influenc
