Album:The Greatest Dance Album in the World

Track:
--- - |- Before Chris Brown started laying females down and Lil' Wayne offered to lick, lick, lick that lollipop, there was Ginuwine.

Track:
--- - |- A new Eau Claire, WI based artist (does anyone even know where that is??), The Gentle Guest, and their debut record, We Are Bound To Save Some Souls Tonight (out 09.30.08) made an instant impression on us. The Gentle Guest's music doesn't quite fit perfectly in the mold that our tiny scene has cut out for itself, but its rowdy character and Americana feel is done very well and is a s...

It's an updated version of what I loved in high school. Laura Warshauer's debut album, December Night will be available on September 23rd. There's a reason...
