Zig-A-Zig-Ah You slide on your favorite pink flip-flops and walk out into the sunshine, avoiding the chalk art you drew the day before, simultaneously clipping your Walkman to the loop of your denim jeans. After placing the slightly worn headphones over your ears, you remove the cassette tape from your pocket and carefully place it…

Download This! (Lyric Video Edition)
Video Killed the Radio Star There’s this new thing that’s very popular in the music world. It’s called a lyric video, and it’s a music video that really isn’t a music video. Confusing, I know. Back in the old days, I’m sure we all remember, there was one video for one song. Now, it’s not…
She & Him “Never Wanted Your Love”
“I never wanted your love, but I needed it all” Anytime I listen to the mellow sounds of Indie-Pop duo, She & Him, my mind begins to embark on a fanciful journey; a journey to a world that’s been shaped around wistful thieves and sentimental hearts. I imagine it to be a place designed from…

Press Play Friday: Fresh Music (2/1/13)
Familiar Faces Have you felt like your music playlist was missing something in recent weeks? Are you tired of listening to the same albums over and over again? Do you feel like you’re in a musical rut? If the answer is yes, then I have just the thing for you. I’ve found some familiar faces…
Press Play Friday: Imagine Dragons
It’s Time I really can’t remember much about my first meeting with Imagine Dragons, but I know we didn’t have the same relationship as we do now. We didn’t take to one another right away, which made me a little hesitant – as I usually am – to later reintroduce myself to these top-of-the-charts artists….
Press Play Friday: Holiday Edition – The New Classics
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year Here we are again, celebrating with family and friends; the houses decorated with elaborate rows of bright lights; the snow falling outside our windows. It’s a time for giving. It’s a time for caring. It’s a time for MUSIC. Yes, what would the holidays be without the incessant…
Florence + The Machine “Lover to Lover”
Fire & Water I’ve been losing sleep. I’ve been keeping myself awake. I’ve been wandering the streets for days and days, and days. Going from row to row, bed to bed, lover to lover, and black to red. But I believe. I believe . . . there’s no salvation for me now; no space among…
Press Play (Wednesday Edition): Ryan Adams
“It’s Only Gonna Make You Love Me More” Welcome to a very special installment of Press Play! I’m glad you could make it. You might have noticed this isn’t our usual meeting place; those special Fridays we had reserved now overrun by vampires and hybrids. It’s just not right to let you go without, so…
Press Play Friday: Songs from the Movies – Part 2
Music Loves a Screen Music and film, a most unrivaled pair, you must admit. She is not complete without his voice, the love songs he sings. He is the melody that accompanies her, giving life to a scene. They, essentially, are the perfect couple. We’ve met them here once before (of course), not too long…
Music News (10/11/12)
As some of you may have already heard, this past month we received some very surprising news from Jack’s Mannequin and their frontman, Andrew McMahon. After seven years, the band has decided to go their separate ways. At this point in time, I’m still living in denial, telling myself that it has all been a…
Album Review: Mumford & Sons – Babel
“I’ll be yours, if you’ll be mine” This blog had been less than a week old when we first introduced you to Mumford & Sons, having no idea that these soon-to-be rock stars would shortly bring the music world to its knees. Having spent an insurmountable time on the charts with their debut album, Sigh No More proved…
