Am I the only who doesn't love Pandora? I've been listening at work lately just because I'm not allowed to load Spotify onto my computer. I've created a few stations but after weeks of thumbs up and downs...my stations still seem to go off the rails. My 80s metal station plays everything from Tom Petty to the Eagles to Madonna. My trip hop station plays Coldplay, Bon Iver and Depeche Mode.

The Unknown: Kisses
Posted on 20:57 by Unknown
First we had Kiss...now we have Kisses. And even though it's the plural form of the word, there's actually half the amount of members in the band. On their sophomore release Kids in L.A., the band has been heavily influenced by Bret Easton Ellis' iconic novel, Less Than Zero. The whole album plays like a tribute to the Ellis' Bible of teenage malaise. The lyrics follow the exploits of

Posted on 23:20 by Unknown
This week saw the announcements of two highly anticipated upcoming releases. On SNL this weekend, Kanye West previewed two new tracks from his new album, while on Monday, Microsoft announced that their new console, Xbox One, was coming soon. When Kanye first went solo, he was considered a better producer than a rapper. It's like he knew that. Since then on every album he's upped his rap

Today's big music news finds Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre donating 70 million to USC to start a new school for the ever changing music, technology and business industry. As noble of an effort as this is and extremely commendable, I wonder if it hinders progress. Hear me out. Dr. Dre and Iovine are major innovators in the field of music. They didn't go to school to learn how to be ground

The 11 Best Songs By Vampire Weekend
Posted on 15:59 by Unknown
Read an interesting article that the "foodie craze" is killing the "music industry." They don't give a lot of proof of that and basically correlate that it's happening is as the food truck craze has risen, album sales have decreased. Besides that not actually being true...there is a similarity between the two groups. There is a rock star like quality behind some of the best food trucks.

Up until this week, I thought Benghazi was that good BBQ place across the way from the Jungle Boat ride at Disneyland. Turns out I was wrong. I've been reading up on the whole Benghazi situation and I think I've learned what the biggest threat to the American government is....it's the American government! Now I'm not trying to say the whole situation is Obama's fault, not his fault, that

The 11 Best Songs By Noah & The Whale
Posted on 09:09 by Unknown
David Bowie released a new video this week for his song, The Next Day. It's your basic Priests in a sex club, prostitutes, blood squirting everywhere, Gary Oldman-starred, music video. Who hasn't made a video like this? I think Amy Grant made like three of them. I get that the video is mildly offensive but it's also making an artistic statement, whether you agree that the statement has

The 11 Best Songs By She & Him
Posted on 18:21 by Unknown
There has been considerable uproar over Zach Braff's use of Kickstarter to shoot his new movie. For some reason every one thinks that Kickstarter should not be for wealthy people and only for hard-working people. I've seen Kickstarters for many friends and associates. They make nothing. One friend was trying to purchase a lunch truck. He raised $2,400. He needed $25,000. Another friend

The Unknown: Pickwick
Posted on 14:04 by Unknown
This six-piece neo-soul, blues, grunge x band out of Seattle falls somewhere between the rowdiness of the Black Keys and the intimate storm of the Cold War Kids while Robert Flack and Sam Cooke are blowing cool kisses from the corner of the room. Formed in 2008, they have just released their debut album this year after a series of vinyl 7-inches built their reputation. And let the music

Facebook's ads are killing me. They're not just annoying my Facebook experience, they're also hurting this blog. GBU has its own Facebook page. We have have a modest amount of followers. Now I can't speak for all my followers but I know when I like a page, it's because I want to get updates from that page. For awhile, that was happening. But now, Facebook is asking me to pay to advertise
