"Look at me! I'm the king of New York"

The years start coming and they don't stop coming

Ready to rave

Do I actually see with my own very eyes a man who's not heard of a Jellicle Cat?

While I definitely feel like I have a wide variety of music genres that I listen to these days, I was undoubtedly a rock music kid. I grew up in a rock n' roll household and was constantly exposed to the music. I'm also a long-time bass and guitar player. Although I very much vibe with rock music, it was pretty much all that was available to me, so that's what I ran with. Although, I can't understate how big of an impact the first few “Guitar Hero” games had on my musical taste. I can still rol…

We now need to limber up before going to a concert.

Cursed content for band geeks

Everyone likes music, right? I am known to roll my eyes at people who list “music” as one of their interests. All I can think when someone says music is their favorite thing is, “yeah bro, everyone likes music.” However, some people like music a lot more than others. I'm talking about the CD-heads working their way through 1001 Albums You Must Listen To Before You Die . I'm referring to the people who were not only first chair in their high school band but also the first chair in their college…

When I was in high school, I was literally addicted to the 80s radio station. Even though I was birthed into this world in the 90s, these songs defined my teenage years. One of the most intriguing moments of this 98.7 KLUV era was when my sister and I discovered that our drive to school took up the entire runtime of the hit long song, American Pie. One day, the song began playing on the radio right when we started driving to school. By the time we pulled into my parking space, the tune memorial…

What if there were a show where judges picked their favorite viral internet celeb, and then work with them to make the best meme??

If you know anything about the pop star, is that she's a wonderful goofball and is the BEST meme muse.

Spotify dropped its yearly Wrapped feature on Wednesday, November 30th this year, and though it's only been available for two days, the memes and tweets just keep on coming. The yearly event provides users with a cute little slideshow of their listening data. It's only available on the app, and is predictably flashy in its design so that users will be compelled to share all their darkest music-listening secrets on other apps. This year, my Wrapped wasn't exactly embarrassing, but it wasn't “coo…

Don't bother to look at Spotify, you played yourself the most this year.

Drake the type of guy...

I've got a blank space, baby, and I'll fill it with memes.

Everyone should start a band. You get to dedicate all your free time to practicing the same handful of songs that no one but your bandmates want to hear. You'll lose money at worst and break even at best. You get at least two free drink tickets per gig. Sound guys will automatically hate you. You'll get criminally ripped off by streaming services, but at least you'll get good exposure! What's not to love about being in a band ? If you've ever been in a band, even just for a few weeks before rag…
