In the January 19, 2012, issue of Rolling Stone, there was a small sidebar article about how artists, specifically The Black Keys and Coldplay, have chosen not to have their latest albums available to stream on Spotify. The article (“The Black Keys, Coldplay Say No (For Now) to Spotify“; page 17) quotes The Black Keys [...]

Yesterday @MrLady re-tweeted a message asking folks to help out @Zoeyjane with music suggestions for her to work out to. Afterward, I received some DMs from folks who wanted to know what else I had on my workout playlist, so I thought I’d throw it up in a blog post.

Whenever I buy a new CD, and I mean an actual CD not an iTunes album, I always read through the booklet that comes with it. It’s something I started doing when I bought my first CD way back in Middle School, Boyz II Men’s “II” album. (Shut up, it was the early 90s). You [...]

When I was little, before my parents bought the family CD player, my sister and I used to listen to our parent’s vinyl records to pass the time. It wasn’t uncommon to walk in our house and hear The Commodores, the Grease soundtrack, Michael Jackson’s “Off The Wall” or, when our dad cared enough to [...]

Nothing like a bunch of hippies dancing and grooving in the middle of a field. This is “Soul Singing” from The Black Crowes:

On Tuesday, AFI released their third full-length major label album, “Crash Love”. I’m a huge AFI fan. I’ve seen them live 7 times. I’ve met the band and have shaken their hands. I own three copies of “Sing The Sorrow” (1 regular CD, 1 limited edition release and 1 copy of the album on vinyl. [...]

Image by Getty Images via Daylife The guys of Linkin Park have been blowing fans away and performing in sold out venues for close to a decade now. Chester Bennington decided to step back from the LP mic just long enough to put together a side project that, quite frankly, I’m pretty damned excited about. [...]

Kings of Leon is one of the best quasi-new bands to make it big in the past year or two. I say quasi-new because while their latest album “Only By The Night” is the one that put them on the charts, they have three previous albums which are just as good. Some argue they’re far [...]
