I’m bringing it back to the hair metal days today. This is one of my favorite monster ballads of all time, and if you love monster ballads like me, then I bet this one is on your list too. I remember in eighth grade, waiting till midnight to watch Headbanger’s Ball hosted by Rikki Rachtman […]

What do you know about MJ?
Last Flashback Friday I told you what my favorite song of all time is. This song is a close second. Hardcore MJ fans might say Thriller was his peak, but I beg to differ; I prefer this song way more. I’ll keep this short — it’s one that […]

I’ve mentioned to some of you before that I’m not a “list person.” Well, that’s not entirely true. I do keep mental lists of my top favorite bands, restaurants, DJs, live shows, cuisines, and of course, songs. You might be surprised, but this is my number one favorite song of all time. I remember seeing […]

I thought I’d bring it back again today with my Flashback Friday feature. I heard this song on the radio the other morning in my car and couldn’t resist singing along…the entire song…at the top of my lungs. This is one of my favorite bands of all time, and when I searched YouTube for this […]

I feel it every time. That anxious excitement in the bottom of my belly when someone asks me, “Hey, are you going to Brasilintime this week?” or “Ben Watt’s spinning at Vanguard, you going?” I want to shout out, “YES!” Then I quickly fall back down to earth, realizing that I’m an adult with responsibilities, […]

This past Sunday I ventured on over to the Hollywood Bowl for my first show of the season. And, man, was it amazing! Summer Nights at the Hollywood Bowl are cultured, relaxing, festive ways to spend time enjoying the summer weather here in Los Angeles. Every summer my favorite radio station, KCRW, hosts a series […]

Some of you might have wondered where the Flashback Friday has been for a couple weeks. And some of you have no idea what I’m talking about. Either way, let’s have some fun reminiscing about when music had soul and attitude, the good kind of attitude.
Before R&B Got Hijacked
1990 was a great year for R&B […]

You all know what time it is… That’s right, it’s Flashback Friday. And this week I’m celebrating the era of scrunchies, sneakers, b-boying, mix tapes, hyper color, boomboxes, track jackets, and MTV. Reflecting back, I fondly remember sixth grade camp, NWA, and Gleaming the Cube. Anyway, without further ado, here we go…
When Hip Hop Rocked
There […]

Today, I’m bringing it back, waaay back…again. My old school cartoons post had a bunch of people talking and reminiscing about when we were all kids, and life was one big afternoon special. Michael Kwan even posted his own cartoon favorites which I thought was really cool, and inspired me to want to post another […]

San Francisco based Om Records has released the much anticipated album from artist collective Bassnectar. The album, Underground Communication, created by producer/DJ Lorin Ashton, fuses laid back hip hop tempos with the aggressiveness of heavy break beats and the melodic intricacies of experimental electronica. The result is a compilation of audio masterpieces.
There’s something completely mesmerizing […]
