When we listen to movie soundtracks, we usually don’t give credit where credit is due to the composers. Sure, we’ve all been blasting Awesome Mix Vol. 1 ever since Guardians of the Galaxy reminded us how kickass 70s and 80s pop music is, or maybe we’ve been listening to the original […]

Holiday Gift Guide 2014: Ideas for the Music Lovers In Our Lives
The holidays mean something different for everyone, but to me, they mean music (among other things). I have the luxury to listen to all the albums from the year that have been building up, leisurely browse for vinyl, share my new favorite musical discoveries with my cousins, maybe write a song […]
Fall Out Boy Flies High With Big Hero 6 Track ‘Immortals’
If there’s anything that’s noticeable about Fall Out Boy, it’s that they encourage everyone in their fan base to be their own superheroes. That might be why they did Fall Out Toy Works a few years ago. That series was… a thing not worth dwelling on for too long. I […]
Lorde Brings the ‘Yellow Flicker Beat’ to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1S9HUNoI4k] I wonder how often people forget that The Hunger Games series is a story about teenagers. Teenagers thrown into horrible situation after horrible situation sure, but teenagers all the same. The most mind boggling thing someone ever told me about when the movies were being cast was that Hailee Steinfeld, who […]

Whether or not you know Neil Cicierega by name, you almost definitely know his work in some way. His Potter Puppet Pals series was once basically the most popular thing on the internet, the most famous episode “The Mysterious Ticking Noise” having now amassed over 150 million views. He also […]
Fall Out Boy Makes You Remember the Name in ‘Centuries’
Remember what I said a couple of weeks ago in my review of ‘Never Been In Love’ about how I nerd pretty hard for pop-punk bands that rose to prominence in the mid-2000s? Well, that applies double to Fall Out Boy. They have been one of my favorite bands since […]
Cobra Starship comes dancing back with Icona Pop in ‘Never Been In Love’
I love music, but there’s probably no section of music I nerd out about more than pop punk bands who rose to prominence in the mid-2000s. Well, maybe steampunk and retrofuturistic bands, but I’ve loved the dorks who made up Decaydance Records much longer. One of my favorite bands from […]
Why Janelle Monáe is Ruling The Spring
I think everyone knows at this point I am the resident Janelle Monáe fangirl of the website. One only needs to see my review of The Electric Lady to know that. Or just… y’know… talk to me about music for ten minutes. In the wake of The Electric Lady’s release last fall, Monáe was […]
My Chemical Retrospective: Danger Days Lie Ahead

Welcome to the final installment of the My Chemical Retrospective as we look at Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, the band’s final studio album. This album is my everything. No exaggerations. It’s neon colored rainbows and shooting stars. Which I’m sure is […]
