Artist of the Month: Jason Mraz
“Everything in life influences my music. I’ve always used songwriting as a means to share what I think is profound.” – Jason Mraz Based on a true story . . . We met like any other couple might. I was still in High School and he was the cool, older bad-boy with a cocky smirk…
BLOGAVERSARY 3.0!!!
Three years. Three years of obsessions, pop culture addictions, and enough lengthy librettos about English songstress’ and fictional characters to launch the expression “fangirl” onto an entirely different level. What can I say, other than, thank you. Thank you all for your support and your friendship, for coming back again and again, encouraging me and…

Artist of the Month: Florence + The Machine
“Making music, it’s such a personal thing. You’re always making music; you’re making music that pleases you, and you kind of think, you know, ‘who the f**k else would listen to this?’ And so it’s really amazing to me how many people have taken it so to heart.” – Florence Welch I guess it was…

Artist of the Month: Jack’s Mannequin wraps up today. Let’s celebrate this amazing artist! Dear Jack, Wow. It’s been a crazy month. We went behind the music in all cheesy VH1 fashion.

Artist of the Month: Jack’s Mannequin – The Music (Part 2)
“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.

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….
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…
