It’s that time of year again, the time where Music Festivals are taking our money or making extremely envious. One of the biggest music festivals in America is in our midst…… Coachella. Everyone wants to be surrounded by stars and feel as relevant as they seem to be, but over the course of gaining its major popularity did we lose what is once was? What … Continue reading Coachella

We live in a world where we consume almost everything at such a rapid pace, and how we consume music is no different. There are so many different types of music streaming services too, from google music to YouTube music, but two distinctly stand above the rest. Apple Music and Spotify.  When I started my music streaming journey, I was a die-hard Apple Music fan, … Continue reading Spotify or Apple Music?

I love a good soundtrack. It really takes a TV show into the absolute next level. From Scrubs, Freaks and Geeks, Friday Night Lights etc. Like I said, I love a good soundtrack. Recently I was mindlessly searching from new shows to watch (because you can only re-watch The Officeso many times) when some of my close friends recommended a new witty Canadian TV show. This … Continue reading The Letterkenny Soundtrack

Picture this: it’s 2004, you’re in the back seat of your dad’s car driving to god knows where, when all of a sudden you hear the first riff of an electric guitar filter through the radio, playing a song that (although you don’t know it yet) will be an anthem you love and know for the rest of your life.

After five years, Irish singer/songwriter Hozier has finally released a new album after his self-titled debut.

Hozier (album), with smash hits like his Grammy nominated “Take Me To Church.” His new album is called Wasteland, Baby, … Continue reading Hozier’s Back!

After seeing the Grammy’s tonight, I have to say I was a little disappointed that Lady Gaga didn’t win Best Actress. So I know that this movie is everywhere now, but if you have not gotten a chance to see the Best Picture nominated A Star Is Born, I highly recommend that you take the time to see it. With its highly original soundtrack, Lady Gaga’s performance of … Continue reading A Star Is Born

When the music industry peaked in 1999, CDs cost $11.99, earning the industry 14.6 billion dollars in profits. Then the internet brought ITunes, who held the largest market share of music sales throughout the late 2000’s, allowing us to legally buy our music for 99¢ a song, downloading it directly into our phones, tablets, or MP3 players from anywhere at any time. Now there are new … Continue reading Sub-based Music Services increase ticket prices

There is nothing quite like a wah-wah pedal to give a psychedelic sound to your electric guitar rig. When Bradley J. Plunkett first invented the Wah-Wah Pedal in 1966, some of the biggest names of rock began to feature it on their albums. Some of the first artists to feature the new sound included Cream (with Eric Clapton) and Jimi Hendrix, but would soon make … Continue reading The Wah-Wah Pedal

One of my favorite things to do is to watch rock and music documentary’s, and thanks to things like Netflix and Hulu there is no shortage of them. If you are looking for something new to watch, here are a few that I think you should start with. History of the Eagles So this first one, in case it wasn’t obvious, follows the career of … Continue reading Must sees of Rockumentarys

I’ve really noticed that John Denver’s music has had a pretty sudden resurgence here in the past few months, despite having only modest success since his career peak in the early to mid 1970s. I feel there are often pretty obvious reasons for the resurgence of an artists music.
