Spoon is one of those rare American indie rock bands that release consistently good albums with straight-forward, yet infectious songs that continue to attract more and more listeners. From being virtually unknown in 1994, when they released their first EP, they have seeped into the mainstream, with their most recent release Ga Ga Ga Ga [...]
Get your Halloween weekend going with Bobby Pickett’s timeless “Monster Mash”. Guaranteed to set the party off:
MIA’s “Paper Planes” definitely makes my list of Most Annoying Songs ever (Yes, I have a list. Ask me for it.) However, Hoodlums‘ version of the song is absolutely brilliant. They bring their indie style to this song, and it makes it 400 times better. Give it a listen. “All I wanna do is just..Mmmmm…take [...]
Justin Vernon (frontman) is definitely a passionate singer. Bon Iver‘s debut album For Emma, Forever Ago was independently released in 2007. Originally from Wisconsin, this Indie band some really good, chill music.
Check out the Mashup of Brand New’s “Jesus Christ” and Kanye West’s “Jesus Walks”. Jesus Christ vs. Jesus Walks
The Temper Trap, straight from Melbourne, Australia made an appearance at a few venues during CMJ 2009 in New York City. I was able to see them play at the Highline Ballroom, opening up for Clipse (I know, kinda strange). They put on a sick live show, have awesome dancy music, and are good dudes. [...]

One of the reasons he’s so different is that he uses a variety of instruments (including a cowbell!!!). While looking up Youtube videos of [...]
Star of the house genre, Benny Benassi has been setting the clubs on fire with this hot track, “Come Fly Away”. This song is definitely one of the standouts on my gym playlist.
How do you plan to kick-off your Halloween weekend? Sure, you could head to Cornerstone and wade through an overcrowded collection of co-eds on your way to the bar; but that sounds just like every other weekend in College Park. Instead of trading elbow shots with a beefy bro, head to Sonar nightclub in downtown [...]
Truly epic. With the help of one of my all-time favorite Biggie songs, I can now openly enjoy “Party in the USA.” Before I found this version, I had to check every 10 seconds to make sure that my headphones weren’t audible to people around me when I’d blast that Miley. Don’t judge me. I [...]
