ML Takes A Moment.

Our hearts go out to the Kanye West and his family upon the loss of mother and manager Dr Donda West, who died of surgery complications on Saturday. Despite all the controversy surrounding the cause of her death, it is important we recognize her influence on her son’s career and..

Esmée Denters, I Love You.

This YouTube phenom recently signed with JT’s label Tennman Records after a year of posting videos online, covering the likes of Beyoncé, Ne-Yo and throwing in her own improvisions. Looking at some of the old posts from nearly a year ago, it’s simply amazing how this Dutch beauty’s voice carries..

The Greatest Show On Earth

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbi9oHWGGWo[/youtube] See? It was a ploy all along. Don’t trust the media, all that stuff is CSI’d in.

Sidebar: The Origins Of Ayo

Declassified reports and heavy reliance of pure speculation show that Curtis’s brilliant rhyme of “nympho” with “info” prompted the whole development of Ayo technologies as know it. Throw in the lovebird power hit duo Justin/Timberland, a suit that doesn’t fit the latter, cheap ripoffs of Minority Report and a new..

Well, I Feel Unaccomplished.

You think of what you were doing at age of 19 (or what you will be doing) and chances are you weren’t releasing your third album on Def Jam. You weren’t working with hit-producer Timbaland, soulful singer-songerwriter Ne-Yo, or sexyback-bringer Justin Timberlake. You weren’t a spokesperson for Covergirl or Nike...

Land Of Rawk

Haunting, inviting, indifferent, and unafraid, Elizabeth Powell and the Land Of Talk invade your headphones with their debut EP Applause Cheer Boo Hiss and leave you with melodies you won’t be able to shake off for days. The album is hardly a debut effort – Lizzie is no stranger to..

I Came For The Mascara, I Stayed For The Love

Gerard Way knows what the hell he’s doing. Leave your prejudices at the doorstep and make your way through the crowds to be awe in of The Black Parade, the latest album conjured up by the punk rock quintet from New Jersey known as My Chemical Romance. This dark and..

H-Shake

Not as the name suggests, the Harlem Shakes hail from Brooklyn and probably don’t dance as expected. After opening up for bands like Arctic Monkeys (who are they?) and Deerhoof, they are gearing up to release their debut EP “Burning Birthdays”, an appropriately named five-song set powered by carefree, foot-tapping..

Say It Ain’t So

Saosin, the band whose name everyone thinks they know how to pronounce, has finally settled down to record a full-length LP whose anticipation rivals that for Brand New’s The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. Three years in the making, most of which was spent on the road rather..

Rumor Has It Punk Is Back

Rumor Has It is the reason why anyone ever fell in love with punk rock in high school, saved up for that electric guitar and pitiful second-hand amp. They were the band that played for beer at Jason’s house when his parents went to the Cape for the long weekend...
