Like.FM is a music community, that’s growing, and trying as hard as it can to do so organically by word of mouth. It’s the way the best sounds get around; it’s the way people who know and enjoy music get to shape the sounds around them. We hooked up with them about a year ago. [...]
Radiohead’s Lotus Flower video shows King of Limbs
February 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Radiohead self-released an album again. People are again calling it the model of the future and thebestthingeverohmyGod. OK, but what about the music? “Lotus Flower” and “Feral” are The King of Limbs two best songs. At least on first and second listen, so take that for what it’s worth. These two have a sound that [...]
Song Review: Oh, My Heart by R.E.M.
February 8, 2011 By 1 Comment
Oh, My Heart? Oh. My. God. Stipe sounds so old. This tune comes off the highly-anticipated release Collapse Into Now from the Athens legends. Due in April. Listening to Michael Stipe – as I have not for a long time – is like seeing your cousin who you used to play with everyday decades down [...]

January 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Later this week, the show is on. Angerfist is one of those one-member bands that have more excitement and creativity than a stadium full of Britney Spears or a pocketful of Justin Biebers. That may sound like damning with faint praise but Angerfist is all about damnation. (Ironic that considering i found out about this [...]

More music. These guys need to release it. As often as possible. Punk roots are turned upside down here, completely exposed to whatever elements these guys want to beat it up with. At times, caressing, at times angry and abusive, Thank You, Happy Birthday reaches out to touch you. Breaking out into the public consciousness [...]
Album Review: MICHAEL by Michael Jackson
December 15, 2010 By 1 Comment
We knew posthumous releases by Michael Jackson were coming. Tupac has had more music in the 14 years since his death than he did alive. People are still digging up new songs by Elvis and the Beatles. Go ahead, don’t feel bad. Sit back and enjoy the music. New is almost always better than nothing [...]

CD. 24 Bruno Mars – Doo-Wops & Hooligans Since few people pay attention to the charts any more, you may not know this guy had a number one song this year (or that he co-wrote Flo Rida’s “Right Round.”) Or you might.

St. Cecilia, Patron of Musicians — Thank You
November 22, 2010 By 1 Comment
We owe a lot to St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music without her, music wouldn’t exist, the world would be dark and dreary, and the tuneless and tone deaf would reign. The 17th-Century Cecilia played every instrument and her voice challenged the souls of angels, her ear finely tuned enough to hear them sing [...]
