New Vampire Weekend Album = a hipster’s paradise

Vampire Weekend is streaming their new album. COOL!

Think you like Ke$ha?

Too bad. Uffie, a female rapper, along with electro gods Justice, wrote “Tik Tok”  2 years ago. It was called “The Party” then and was one of my favorite songs off of one of my favorite albums. After hearing “Tik Tok” I knew that the two songs were virtually identical, but it wasn’t until my [...]

The Bay State: Bangor pop-punkers are hitting it big

I am not the biggest fan of pop-punk, unless it is done exceptionally well, Say Anything being the best example. But these guys — and girl — are all from right around Bangor and have been causing quite a stir on that tight knit scene. They’ve got a great sound, a very peppy take on [...]

His first two albums were okay, and “Continuum” was incredible, making Mayer the only one of the big four bro bands (Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz) that I can respect. He’s [...]

Restless Groove: Orono area progressive funk-rockers

Restless Groove have been making some waves up here at UMaine this semester so I sat down and talked to them. I’ve only seen them once and it was passively, but they are tight. A really good mix between college bar band you can dance to and actual musicians. Great guys too. Definitely for fans [...]
