I’ve Been Waiting For A Song Like Chanj’s “Maybe”

Just kidding, no I haven’t, but imagine sitting at your office, and some guy busts into the middle of the room and starts singing? And singing well? Well, that’s pretty much what new R&B artist Chanj did. Read more about I’ve Been Waiting For A Song Like Chanj’s “Maybe”

Christian Rich Makes An Awesomely Creepy Music Video

Nothing I love more than a video that pretty much has nothing to do with the song, and is a total creep-out to boot. Read more about Christian Rich Makes An Awesomely Creepy Music Video

White Guys That (Sometimes) Sounded Like Black Guys

Fact: I had absolutely no idea Hall & Oates were white until I was well into double digits. However, after seeing them live in concert at the Fillmore on Monday night, I realized that they actually… don’t sound that black at all. But the concert was totally awesome for a number of reasons.

The New Prince?

Point of View

The New Prince?

I don’t generally like comparing artists because I’m sure the artists themselves don’t set out to sound like someone else, but if I had to compare Gordon Voidwell to anyone, it would definitely be Mr. Assless Chaps himself, Prince Rogers Nelson. Read more about The New Prince?

John Forté Returns, I Die Inside

John Forté Returns, I Die Inside

Right after he released his second album, I, John, John Forte went to jail on some drug-related BS. Sucks, too, cause the album was definitely on its way to blowing up, at least in my opinion. Read more about John Forté Returns, I Die Inside

Inauguration 2009 (Or, How I Went Entirely Too Hard For Obama)

It’s 10am, and my liver is weeping. After six days of straight partying, I wonder how I was ever able to pull this behavior off in college. More importantly, how was I able to pull it off between last Friday and last night? Two words: Barack Obama.

I love Pharrell and Weezy so much that the way I feel about their new collabo is borderline gross. Read more about YESSSSSSSS!

Guestgasm: DJ Reach

I really get off on other people doing my job for me. So just before New Year’s Eve, I asked DJ Reach about the 5 songs he liked the most in 2008, and what he’ll be spinning on the big day. And yea, I realize that NYE was definitely, like, 15 days ago, but I’m a busy girl. Sue me. Read more about Guestgasm: DJ Reach

Well, I was just put on to this song the other day, but apparently it’s a huge banger in the titty bar. Who knew? Read more about Nasty Attitude

Well, That’s Why You Don’t Bring Her Home To Mama.

Okay, so I know I’ve said on more than one occasion that Gucci Mane is, hands down, the worst freestyler on the planet, but his songs are so catchy I really can’t hate on his shenanigans.

Justin Could Get Up Under My Dress.

Justin Could Get Up Under My Dress.

Okay. Technically, the reference in that title is from T.I.’s verse in Justin’s new song “If I,” but he could get up under my dress either way. Read more about Justin Could Get Up Under My Dress.

I’m Having A Boy Crisis.

My little liberal arts college wasn’t just a mo-effing talent factory when it came to writers, but our bands are on the serious come-up.

The Eargasm I Most Certainly Did NOT Have Last Night.

Boo, boo, boo.

Ironically, I do not enjoy being a hating ass hater. It just comes naturally when I’m presented with things that suck. Like last night’s American Music Awards. Read more about The Eargasm I Most Certainly Did NOT Have Last Night.

On Loving Nina Sky’s Bulls**t

I was never NOT into Nina Sky. They were just two cute girls whose music I could frankly take or leave. But I’ve been playing this song on repeat since I heard it, cause the lyrics are almost the story of my life. Read more about On Loving Nina Sky’s Bulls**t
