Top 5: Overused Songs in Movies!
5. “Who Let the Dogs Out?” by Baha Men This song is too obnoxious to put in movies, yet we do it anyway. Movie makers know better than to put Chumbawamba in their movies, but still make this mistake. This offense ranks so low on the list because, fortunately, the movies that use this song usually [...]

Monday, July 26, 2010
I’d never would have guessed 10 years ago that I’d be listening to country music a lot. Not that “music” that Toby Keith puts out, which is just rock/pop dressed up with a cowboy hat. Real country music like Johnny Cash, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Hank Williams (all three generations), and Drag [...]

Monday, July 26, 2010
So far, 2010 has two key trends in the indie music world. The year began with a barrage of dream-pop, drawing influence from the surf guitar sound of the 1950s, before chillwave became the height of musical fashion over the last few months. Woods takes both these sounds and expands on them, adding a psychedelic [...]

Monday, July 19, 2010
People listen to music for a number of various reasons. It could be to rev everyone up before hitting town for a night out, as a atmospheric-building accompaniment to a romantic dinner, and so forth. No matter why people listen to the various forms of music that they do, everyone has a core set of [...]

Monday, July 19, 2010
Bloody War is a new album compiling a collection of tunes from the early 20th century. It is filled with the songs of a time long gone, but is still relevant to the musical panorama that has defined generations.

Monday, July 19, 2010
The internet hype machine has been in full force for M.I.A. The anticipation that has been building around the release of /\/\/\Y/\ has been overwhelming, yet the music always seems to come second to the controversy that Maya Arulpragasam attracts wherever she goes. From the highs of being listed in Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people [...]

[ Self-Released ] Release Date: 2 July 2010 People might know Donald Glover from 30 Rock, Mystery Team, or his days doing brilliant sketch comedy with Derrick Comedy. Where they’re going to know him from now on: Childish Gambino. If you’re going to give Culdesac a listen, don’t expect jokes. He makes it very clear that [...]

Monday, July 5, 2010
Today is the start of a new week, and as we like to start off the week with a celebration of music with our own version of Music Monday, I thought I would add to the celebration in a new way this week. Perhaps it is more because I watched a lot of movies growing [...]

Monday, July 5, 2010
It was when I entered Casper’s very own Sonic Rainboy that I noticed the flyer in the front window. It read: “Flobots at the Downtown Grill June 25th and 26th.” Tony the store clerk probably got a kick of of the double-take I did. No doubt he was keeping a running tally under the desk [...]

Monday, July 5, 2010
Julian Lynch is a ethnomusicologist, defined by Wikipedia as “the study of social and cultural aspects of music and dance in local and global contexts.” If we cannot judge an album by its cover, can we create presumptions based on what the author is studying? I imagined an album with a multitude of sounds and [...]

At the time, Joseph Stocker lived in New York and Zak Ward lived in California, and the two friends and former band-mates experimented with their reflective, lush musical tastes over the internet, swapping files which eventually brought about their [...]
