“The Beastie Boys Anthology: The Sounds ofScience” shouldn’t be confused with a greatest hits album. Although it does contain many of their best songs, it’s more of an audio timeline of the band. This collection defines the group and how they got to be wherethey are. The two-disc album contains some of their early punk […]
On the opening track of her new album, Jukebox, released on January 22, 2008, Cat Power belts, “these vagabond shoes/are melting away” with just as much believability as Frank Sinatra, who made the song famous. Born in 1972 in small-town Georgia, Charlyn “Chan” Marshall, under her alias of Cat Power, brings a new definition to […]
MusicThe Melvins – “Houdini” If any of you have ever heard of the Melvins, it is probably because they grew up alongside the fellows who would eventually become Nirvana in Aberdeen, Washington. It is indeed unfortunate that most people wouldn’t bother giving this band a moment’s notice if it weren’t for their geographic location (they […]

The band, whogot its name from an Edgar Allan Poe poem, started in 1994 and consists ofJennifer Nobel (lead vocals and 12-string guitar), Eric O’Dell (background vocalsand bass guitar) and […]

On January 6, 2011, a song that didn’t make it on David’s debut album leaked. The song is called “Senseless”, written by James Fauntleroy, who helped pen another one of David’s songs, “My Hands”. And this song is a little bit like it. With an R&B vibe, showing David’s rougher voice and his sensitive side. […]
A few years ago, a group of boys that called themselves “magcon” came about, and the world of teenage girls was changed forever. I was personally not in the slightest bit into these seemingly vain boys attempting to be funny and having girls everywhere fawn all over them, but I was one of the only […]
In 2013, 36-year-old rapper Fabolous launched the third and remaining mixtape of his trilogy, ‘ The Soul Tape 3’. From his clean speaking, to like, to speaking about actual life, this mixtape has been very satisfying. Each track, from starting to finish has so many meanings, giving folks various things to narrate to. The best […]
