This past weekend I was lucky enough to take my little sister to her first concert and see Sam Smith perform. I had chills that entire night – a stark contrast to this NYC heat wave we’re currently enduring. In my own experience, there’s only one artist I know who can make a venue as big as Madison Square Garden feel really intimate and even lowkey….
Love can only be satisfied by one thing: someone else’s love. It can make us feel so strongly that our world can be made reliant on the feelings of another person. Nothing else matters…
If you like music to twerk to then this track is for you. This track is fire. Imagine the finest woman that you know and envision her in “Lingerie and liquor plus she dancing like a stripper.” Now that’s what this track is about. It’s got that explicit strip club vibe to it…
You’ve probably seen the symbol of the snake eating its own tail, it’s an unmistakable, thought provoking, powerful symbol. The “Ouroboros”, an ancient Egyptian symbol (possibly the oldest in human existence) representing the cyclical nature of existence, the beginning, the end, everything in-between, all is one, one is all. Infinite…
From their 99′ release “69 Love Songs” – a three disc behemoth – this weeks track is “A Chicken With It’s Head Cut Off”.
Stephin Merrit front man, multi instrumentalist, and lyrical genius brings us a hilarious analogy of being head over heals!…
Can somebody say “FLOOR FILLER”? because that is what this song screams all the way through! This week’s track comes from Tony Moran and I have to say that it is one of those tracks that you would imagine yourself in a hot, sweaty, dark club that is over packed to the point where you are…
Jenn Wasner is one of my favorite songwriters and musicians. You might know of her from her band Wye Oak, but she also just released a brilliant debut solo album (If You See Me, Say Yes) in 2016 under the name Flock of Dimes. Not only is she a fantastic songwriter and musician, but she is also a truly delightful human being. If you get the chance to see her live, definitely do it; you won’t regret it…
Ahhh that delicious 90’s feeling! Listening to “Hip 2 da game” by Lord Finesse brings back such vibes.
The combination of R&B beats and jazzy horns is awesome already, and so chillin’, but don’t you think this track is all softness: Lord Finesse ain’t afraid to come as hard as possible with his lyrics, talking about his realness and how neither having fame or being broke would change who he is…
Music is so special to me. There was a time around my college years when almost everything I did was accompanied by music, I had these little speakers and played everything loud enough to make people around me change their mood for a few moments. I loved to musicalize moments and feel like the vibe changed according to the music I played, I also liked to find the perfect music to express what I felt at the moment, it was one of the ways I connected non verbally with the people around me, some people felt the same way I did and what I played allowed them to really connect to it and express it, for a moment…
Trife Diesel featuring Method Man “Pyrex Dreams,” The first official single from the up and coming album “Project Pope 2”, Scheduled to drop July 2018.
This song is walking through your high school, holding your books close to your chest. This song is a million prom posters meeting you. This song is checking to make sure your shoes are tied, tapping your pencil in biology. This song is hearing your friends talk all day about who they want to ask them to prom. This song is the fleeting and quiet glances from the girl across the room. Pastel purple, blushing pink…
Ever had one of those mornings when you are on your way to work and you are tense and stressed? You have so many projects waiting for you that it’s hard to fathom how to get it all done in a timely manner and to top it off, you have one or two people in your life, like most of us, who are being insanely difficult. Sounds familiar?…
