Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. – “We Almost Lost Detroit” [Music Video]
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., an obvious reference to the NASCAR driver, is a Detroit based band composed of Daniel Zott and Joshua Epstein. In June of last year, they released their debut album It’s a Corporate World, which included a few notable hits: “Morning Thought,” “Simple Girl,” and “We Almost Lost Detroit.” Just recently, the band [...]
Illmaculate – “Go Study” (Ft. Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, OnlyOne)
Freestyle phenomenon, Illmaculate, brewed up a true banger with “Go Study.” But with featured artists like Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko, what else should one expect? Every single verse on the track is filled with bold, audacious lyricism and commendably raw, bullet-to-the-body fluidity; the words falling out of Illmaculate’s mouth effortlessly over the beat. As rapping comes naturally to [...]
Sleepy Turtles – “Nature’s Hymn”
Sleepy Turtles are a wonderful indie folk band, with one of the best names I’ve ever heard. The group first formed to compose a soundtrack for a novel, and decided to stay together afterwards. The Atlanta-based band has begun streaming their new single “Nature’s Hymn” on Soundcloud (see the audio file below). The track will [...]
B.o.B – “So Hard To Breathe”
“So Hard To Breathe” is the fifth song that B.o.B has released from his second studio album, Strange Clouds. When you think about it, B.o.B’s diversity as a musician is outstanding. His music ranges from jangly pop anthems like “Nothing On You,” to tracks like “Strange Clouds,” which you could easily workout at the gym to. In retrospect, the artist doesn’t belong to one specific [...]
The Dean’s List Ticket Giveaway: New York City [Closed]
EDIT: We’ve announced a winner. Thank you all for your interest, and be sure to keep an eye open for future contests! Hey y’all! I know it’s a Monday and all, but here’s something that should make the week a little less dreadful: a chance to win two free guest list spots to see The [...]
Maroon 5 – “Payphone” (Ft. Wiz Khalifa)
“Payphone,” Maroon 5‘s latest radio jam, is very parochial, to say the least. It features a pithy verse from everyone’s favorite botanist, Wiz Khalifa, and exudes hair gel, suntan lotion, malfeasance, teardrops, Nair, and tween-heartbreak. To see Maroon 5 cave into that same, depraved demographic that supports groups like the forever-lame One Direction, is both comical [...]
ASAP Rocky – “Goldie” [Prod. Hit-Boy] & Live Coachella Performance
ASAP Rocky has finally released the much anticipated track, “Goldie.” It is the first single off of his upcoming debut solo album, LongLiveA$AP, which is set to drop in July (2012). ASAP promised his fans a performance of “Goldie” at Coachella, and luckily for us, he did just that. Considering it’s been hyped for such an [...]
Celldweller – “Elara”
Celldweller is an electronic act out of Detroit, headed by Klayton. Klayton had an industrial metal band in the 90s called Circle of Dust, which gained him a loyal following. After the collapse of Circle of Dust, he completed 3 albums’ worth of music with magician Criss Angel, in a project called Angeldust. That project [...]
Coachella 2012: The Weeknd [Full Performance]
One of the most interesting points of the performance: realizing that Abel Tesfaye has a remarkably low voice for a singer with such a high-octave coo. If you missed the performance, you can stream the entire thing from here! Enjoy–I certainly did. [...]
Linkin Park – “Burn it Down”
On Monday, April 16th, Mike Shinoda tweeted about “Burn it Down,” the first single off his upcoming album Living Things. After releasing a short soundbite earlier this week, the final version is finally here, and it has only made my anticipation for Living Things grow increasingly stalwart. “Burn it Down” sounds like something off of Minutes to Midnight, [...]

Among those being honored was Guns N’ Roses, the Faces, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beastie Boys, Freddie King, and Laura Nyro.
