So, for all the shit that I’ve given Nickelback over the years, apparently it has been warranted – at least a little bit. A blog calling itself Tastebuds.fm has named the Canadian rockers the “number one musical turnoff.” Tastebuds, a similar site to Last.fm, did their research thusly: Each user was allowed to specify up [...]

The Tedeschi Trucks band rolled their tour into Boston on a perfect 75 degree evening. The sunset over Boston highlighted the evening with a beautiful array of colors that made the night just that much nicer.

The two biggest (and, honestly, most important) names in rap come together to brag. A lot. As has always been the case, Kanye has some great lines (“Luxury rap, the Hermes of verses/ Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive”) and Jay-Z has some better ones (“Cocaine seats, All white like I got the whole [...]

To be exact, it was two days ago (Tuesday, January 11) and it’s called “H.A.M.” The single is taken from the forthcoming album he made with Jay-Z called Watch The Throne, due out sometime in March. Oh, and he (originally) released it on the official Facebook page for the album. I kid you not. In [...]

Kanye‘s fifth studio album in six years, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”, will be due at the end of next month, and as always the graduate always knows how to create controversy and flame spirits. Whether releasing tracks for free on his blog/twitter or making some of the most monstrous television appearances, Kanye is at [...]

I never thought Kanye West and Bon Iver can be pronounced together in a sentence, let alone a song. Seems like discrepancies and unlikely collaborations make up for a unexpectedly solid track – Lost in The World, a Kanye West production that heavily samples Justin Vernon’s 2008 eery autotune Woods.
