The first half of 2009 has brought us a recession, due to people trying to live beyond their means, a pandemic, due to people living too close to those beyond their species and a slew of decent releases. Of those releases only one, Taking Back Sunday’s New Again, was apart the list of anticipated [...]Related posts:Upcoming Hip-Hop Releases for 2009 Happy NeBest Of 2008 (Aaron Long) It’s lat

If the soundtrack album is anything to go by, the forthcoming Watchmen movie should prove pretty interesting. Abandoning the usual action film preference for loud and flashy rock music, this particular collection features the likes of Nat King Cole’s ‘Unforgettable’, Janis Joplin’s ‘Me And Bobby McGee’ and Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’…

When I was offered a copy of Many Lessons, I jumped at the chance to listen to something really different - Islamic hip-hop from West Africa.Many Lessons is a compilation album with a selection of music from the region, highlighting the growing trend of hip-hop among Islamic believers in the region. The back cover of the album states...
MADD stands for Musical Appreciation Deficit Disorder. It also stands for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, but that's not for this time.MADD, the one we're interested in, is a phenomenon observed by a Toronto DJ, and he's so fascinated by it that he's writing a book on the subject. He's observed that the current music generation of 25 years and under have very little tolerance for songs that last...
It's never to early, or late, to get the kiddies started in Beatles music appreciation. The popular Kidz Bop series is finally taking care of that for you.They have surely recognized their failure to devote a slot in their series to the greatest band ever, (or they are just realizing that kids will now know the Beatles due to being addicted to the rock band songs they are now playing).Either wa...
Perhaps I should have saved this for Toxic Tuesday, but it's too much fun to make you wait. One of my favorite music listening sites outside of MOG, is a site called Nutsie. It is a site that has lots of cool playlists, as well as the ability to listen to your favorite artists (much how I envision the new MOG will be). One of their very fine playlists, is a great collection of some unforgettabl...
