An Interview With Jamshied Sharifi About His Album One
April 14th, 2008 by scoop · No Comments
World music, in my experience, is very hit and miss. I’ve come across some music, mostly through the label of Peter Gabriel, that I really like. But I’ve also heard some that just rubbed me the wrong way no matter how many chances I give it.
I thought about those experiences when I received a copy […]

What’s The Big Deal With Stone Temple Pilots?
April 11th, 2008 by Evan Mix · No Comments
I’m probably going to get slammed for this one. Here’s the thing: I don’t get Stone Temple Pilots. I never did. Here’s a band that rode the coattails of grunge into 17.5 million album sales (and counting). A band that’s probably canceled more tour dates for rehab and court dates than it’s actually played.

April 8th, 2008 by Kimberlee Morrison · No Comments
At the tender age of 17 Fiona Apple made her debut in 1994 with Tidal and her breakout hit, “Criminal”. With poetic lyrics sung in a deep alto and driven by Apple’s passionate piano playing, most will agree that Fiona Apple is an artist. Likewise, her public image has appeared at times temperamental and […]

Rewind to 1994: A Review of Jawbreaker’s 24 Hour Revenge Therapy
April 7th, 2008 by Eric Atienza · No Comments
In the mid-90s the musical landscape was recovering from earth-shattering events that rattled the foundations of the soundscape. Grunge had broken through the shiny veneer that had encompassed popular music and in a monumental year, 1993 saw Nirvana’s final proper album, In Utero, one of the highest selling grunge albums of all time in Pearl […]

An Interview With Songwriter Justin Roberts About His New Album, Pop Fly
April 7th, 2008 by scoop · No Comments
Imagine a songwriter who takes the best parts of Fountains of Wayne – great catchy hummable power pop songs – but instead of writing about adult relationship woes his focus is on the joys and concerns of children.

Re:Mix - Hip(ster)-Hop Mashups From The Hood Internet
April 6th, 2008 by Evan Mix · 1 Comment
If there’s one thing that defines hipsterism, it’s irony - and the mashup is fertile ground for irony. Since this is a hip(ster)-hop mix, I tried to distill the oddest, funniest, and most unexpected tracks from the irony-fest that is The Hood Internet. Hang on - it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Mix: To Everything There is a Season - Spring 2008
April 3rd, 2008 by Eric Atienza · No Comments
