4. FunFun is the new brainchild of Nate Ruess (The Format) and Andrew Dost (Anathallo). News of this project has helped keep me from spiraling down into a deep dark depression over the loss of one of the greatest pop bands of all time. While I love the name, I am slightly annoyed that yet [...]

When it comes to the music of Tim Kasher, I am usually more inclined to listen to his albums created with The Good Life. I have often found his Cursive albums to be a little too chaotic and too intense for my liking. And being a lover of folk music, I have just always enjoyed [...]

Here in no particular order, are three of my favorite songs that been fully featured in a television show. The episodes didn’t have just 30 second clips, but the director took the risk of playing a song in its entirety, and actually pulled it off.1. Snow Patrol - You Could Be HappySmallville Season 6 - [...]

This is the greatest remix I really missed last year! I’m so sorry!The best part of this remix, is it’s not really a remix.Huh?Thats right. It’s probably closer in the truest definition to a mash-up than to a remix. The verse from I’m a Lady was removed and in it’s place we get Amanda Blank laying down [...]

Dagger from The Steps on VimeoThe Steps - DaggerOn a note completely unrelated to this video or band…Next Monday I will have a new Bloody Interview from the fantastic singer-songwriter Greg Laswell. Needless to say, I am pretty excited about the oppurtunity to talk with him, mostly so I can ask him what it was [...]

I love it when indie artists cover radio-friendly pop songs. Here is a great one that I stumbled upon recently. Even if you still aren’t convinced about The Bird and the Bee, like myself, or you find the original song slightly repetitive and a little annoying, you should still give this song a chance. In [...]

A coda is a musical means to an end. It’s the final transition into a song’s finish. This concluding passage is often what the listener remembers after the glow of the music has faded, and it determines whether a song sprints or stumbles over the finish line. These are a few of my favorite songs [...]

I love remixes that catch you off guard. Diplo is showing me that more and more lately. Rather than throwing breakbeats into songs I like, they restructure the song and turn it into a completely new piece of art.Well last week I had a greater example of that, this week I go for a much [...]

8. Neko CaseMiddle Cyclone - 03/03This girl just keeps getting better and better. I find myself jumping at any chance to hear her voice, whether it is just backing up her bandmate A.C. Newman with their innovative rock band the New Pornographers, or as in this case singing the lead on a solo album. Although, [...]

Download a copy for your iPodTake that Justin! I can do more than just write! I’m going to try and start pumping out a weekly audio version of the Remix Wednesday, or perhaps a weekly extra available only in audio form. I haven’t really decided yet.This remix sounds almost nothing like the original, but is [...]

To commemorate Valentine’s Day this year, Ryan Adams has decided to release an EP of love songs that he has titled Extra Cheese. From the looks of the cover, I’d say he went with extra pepperoni, but that’s just me. Either way it’s making me hungry. Well the album is an Itunes exclusive put out [...]

Where do we go when the fickle world has turned its back on us? Where do we go to feel safe, to feel loved again? We go home.Everything about Alela Diane’s To Be Still, from the finger-plucked foundation of guitar and bass to the singer’s sad, smoky voice, is familiar. It’s just like a cabin [...]
