Album Review: Lady Gaga, ARTPOP

Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP hit the shelves today, always the trendsetter she went against the industry standard of releasing records on Tuesday.  Much like her last record, 2011’s Born This Way, this is not a record that instantly wins you over.

Live Review: Drake @ Philips Arena

Minutes after bringing a middle-aged Atlantan on stage and sweetly serenading her with “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” Drake spat some heavy threats on another new song, “Worst Behavior.” Such is the duality of Aubrey Graham. “Hold On, We’re Going Home” is a refreshing, though slightly misplaced, piece of ear candy dropped in the middle […]

Live Review: Colin Meloy @ Variety Playhouse

By: Emily Jackson  Much like the lyrics of the songs themselves, the performances by Colin Meloy and Eleanor Friedberger last night at the Variety Playhouse told epic tales, complete with villains, heroes, challenges and triumphs. Both musicians are ordinarily the lead singers for more elaborate ensembles, but that didn’t diminish the success of the poetic […]

Interview: Rosco Bandana @ Smith’s Olde Bar 11/9

The Mississippi septet Rosco Bandana are the product of teenage rebellion and its consequences; of lost love, false starts and, above all, lasting friendship.
