Coachella Countdown: 39 days Artist of the day: Ellie Goulding – MUST LISTEN I can’t even begin to describe how talented and magical this artist is. I had a hard time deciding which video clip to post. She has so many great songs. But we all know how much I love talented artists covering hit […]

A close friend of mine sent this to me knowing how much I love Arcade Fire and he is friends with the singer and guitarist. This was too good to not post here. Covering a song is always a risk. You don’t want to just replicate what the original artist did, you need to make […]

Remember the song Better off Alone? I can still remember playing that song on repeat in highschool along with Sandstorm and The Launch. I go through phases with Electronic music where one month it becomes a huge focus of mine and then I forget about it and go straight back to my comfort zone of […]

Adele. She sings from the soul. When she sings I get chills. Her new album, beginning to end is perfect. It was like she wrote the album for me and my life. I need to write her a Thank you note for putting my emotions into the perfect songs. This song in particular, is my […]
