You hear old-time music fans complaining about it all the time. “DJs aren’t musicians”, they say. “Real music comes from instruments, not computers”. It’s an argument that seems more poignant by the day, as electronic artists continually breakthrough to the main stream.

Every now and then you come across a song that seems to ooze cool. “Razorblade” by The Knux is one of those songs. An awesome mix of rock and hip-hop sounds, this track has a swagger that cannot be contained…
It’s been 5 years since The Shins last released an album. Sure, front-man James mercer was kind enough to give us Broken Bells during that time, but that was merely an offering to hold us over.

Well, they gave us a good one, but the suits at our company said it was too crude and vulgar to be played on the air!!
There are several things in life we love – candy, puppies, wet t-shirt contests – and The Black Keys! That’s why we’re so excited to have new music from Ohio’s favorite sons, a brand new track called “Lonely Boy”…
Lions may be kings of the jungle, but elephants are the real rock stars of the animal kingdom. That’s the lesson we learned from Coldplay’s new video for the insanely catchy track “Paradise”…
Giant rampaging monsters aren’t really violent, they’re just misunderstood. That’s the message Cage The Elephant convey in their new video for “Aberdeen”…

Turns out the fountain of youth isn’t in Florida like Ponce De Leon said it was. Nor is it in some retirement home swimming pool like in the movie Cocoon.
