Remember when we interviewed Mike Posner last fall? After two College Park performances and a huge jump in popularity, Posner now has a new album coming out: 31 Minutes to Takeoff, expected August 10th. The latest track from this album, “Bow Chicka Wow Wow,” is up on Pigeons and Planes for your listening pleasure. Give [...]
Have you ever had a gratifying moment of musical eclecticism or a complete and utter musical humiliation? Maybe a combination of both? I’m talking about those times when your iPod is blasting on the sound system and you’re just chilling out with a group of people. But what makes this more interesting is the iPod [...]
Looking for Mike Posner? Check the stratosphere. Up-and-coming singer and Duke senior couldn’t stress enough in an interview before Saturday night’s SEE-sponsored concert that he’s doing it, and doing it big. A student by week and touring artist by weekend, Posner’s schedule could make anyone feel unmotivated; a full day of class leads to late [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
I saw my favorite band, Copeland a few nights ago at the Recher Theater in Towson, MD. Joining them on this tour were Barcelona, and headliners – Relient K. I had the opportunity to do a bit of photography-action during it. Check the pictures out here – http://www.flickr.com/photos/tanyagelman
During one of the first few shows of the Paramore headlining tour (9/29/09 at the Fox Theatre in Pomona, CA), lead singer, Hayley Williams of pop-punk band Paramore lost her voice. Instead of trecking it out, what did she do? She walked off stage and left the 2000+ capacity venue to sing lead on one [...]
I was listening to a bunch of random things on my iPod and Mike Posner came on. I couldn’t stop listening to him so I decided to add to the buzz this guy has been receiving. Posner’s from Southfield, Michigan and is currently attending Duke University. With his band the Brain Trust he released a [...]
I’ll be honest: before his death yesterday, I never gave much thought to Michael Jackson. Beyond the hits and a mild interest in all those scandals, I didn’t know much about the King of Pop, and didn’t care to. Yes, his work affected a lot of people, and a whole generation grew up with his [...]
“The thing about bands like Dirty Projectors, Animal Collective, and Deerhoof,” a friend said to me recently, “is that I only like them on paper. They’re experimental, they’re pushing boundaries – but I can’t really listen to the music.”
