“I’m writing you a symphony of sound” No. You’re not seeing double. We continue Artist Of The Month with more music from Jack’s Mannequin. In part 1, we swam, were Bruised, lived in Dark Blue, and played with Hammers and Strings (Don’t you love my play-on-words?). Today we might go into the Caves or play…

NerdTube: Florence + The Machine – “Heavy In Your Arms”
“Are you strong enough to stand, protecting both your heart and mine?” The official video for (My hero) Florence + The Machines song Heavy In Your Arms was released on Monday. The song is featured in that movie franchise I talk about a lot (*cough* Eclipse *cough*). Now this is one of my favorite Flo…
Album Review: Sara Bareilles – Kaleidoscope Heart
There is no second album slump for Sara Bareilles I’ve now had a week to process this. The lyrics are almost completely memorized. The melodies are now individually recognizable. And I’m trying to figure out which song is my favorite (This is proving rather difficult). I’m confident that I can give you an honest review….
Artist of the Month: Jack’s Mannequin – The Music (Part 1)
We continue Artist Of The Month with the music of Jack’s Mannequin. Part 1 A musician is more than an artist. A musician is someone who puts their heart and soul into their music. They create every detail. They compose a symphony of song. They write their own music. It’s not about money or fame….
Press Play: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
We’re going ‘Home’ When you first press your ear to that oversized or undersized headphone and hear the radiant sounds of Edward Sharpe, you feel as if you’ve been transported into another time. The 60s’; a generation centered around an ad agency with less than moral characters. Wait. That’s Mad Men. The 60’s; a time…
Artist of the Month: Jack’s Mannequin
Jack’s Mannequin. Do I really need to say anything more here? “I consider myself a person like everyone else, and I take my time writing my records because I feel like it captures more of who I am. You have a much greater chance of hitting on themes and points…that could play into someone else’s…
Press Play Friday: Marcus Foster
Our featured artist this week is newbie Marcus Foster As you start to read this, some of it might seem familiar. It might sound really familiar. But, rest assured, I’m not repeating artists. Marcus Foster is . . . Marcus Foster. Any similarity to another favorite Press Play artist (*cough* Bobby Long *cough*) is merely…
Press Play Friday: Fresh Music 8/20/10
It’s time once again for some new music While researching this Press Play Friday, I had a little trouble. Apparently, I haven’t gotten any new music in a while (Gasp!). I know. How can this be? I have a deeply rooted music obsession that requires me to have at least one new song per week….
Press Play Friday: Charlotte Sometimes
Sophomore artist Charlotte Sometimes is in the spotlight for this Press Play Friday “I want to make sure that whole emotional connection is in each and every word and in each and every note of my songs, because if that’s not there, then what’s the point in music? Music is supposed to transport you somewhere….
Press Play Friday: Freelance Whales
We’re bringing out the synthesizers for this Press Play Friday with Freelance Whales With any new emerging band, fresh from releasing their first album, you will always have to ask, “Are they going to stick around long enough, so we can see what they can really do?” For Freelance Whales, there is no doubt in…
Press Play Friday: Civil Twilight
“I’m trying to get people to surrender, to give them a sense of hope and acceptance with our music. I want to tell a story that transports you somewhere else.” –Steven McKellar The greatest thing to happen to a music lover, is the act of stumbling upon a song or a group completely by accident,…
Press Play: (500) Days Of Summer – The Soundtrack
No. You are not seeing double. Today, I need to give an honorable mention to the (500) Days of Summer soundtrack. When it comes to movies, the soundtrack is usually my favorite part. A piece of music can either make or break a scene. It can enhance the story and add additional emotions that you…
