There are just a few days left to be part of Hayward Williams’ most ambitious project to date; his 4th full length record, titled Haymaker. I hope you recall hearing some of his authentic lyricism either in my past post, perhaps on Don’t Say Goodnight, or you’ve heard him...

So, on the first day of spring, we get a song called “Winter Solstice.” Coincidence? The intriguing and atmospheric acoustic soul music is by Cold Specks; the curious moniker for one Al Spx, a 23-year-old Canadian from Etobicoke now living in London. She’s gone by a couple...

I may be a little early, but I am officially calling 2012 the Year Of the Music Video Rebirth! In just two months we’ve had that Shins video, then that new Islands video, and that cool mirrored Yusek video. Now, to add to this every growing list, is this grand Gotye video (above). Oh...

Although still a newcomer out of the West coast (well, maybe not such a newcomer after being selected for iTunes single of the week and performing on the Tonight Show), Robert Francis made a big impact on my playlist since his first big label album (Atlantic Records) came out two years...

With a win like today, I think it is time to talk about Cascia Film‘s newest sports video tribute, “Packer Rock Anthem,” Feat. Lucas Cates (as Aaron Rodgers) and Danielle Robay. The music video — which uses the instrumental track of popular music group LMFAO’s...
