In what looks like a milestone show for Beyonce - she brought her first show in months to Revel in Atlantic City, NJ. The videos I’ve seen give the impression that this is her best concert series to date. Check out the video above for a sample.
I can only hope that this gets the DVD treatment that most of her shows get.
Talk soon
Alright - I know I keep posting videos of them, but they are just so good. More from The Night. New song, and a home video to go along with it. Check out “The Islander.”
Finally, an acoustic, live video from The Night. They are one of my favorite upcoming bands, and I can’t wait for more music.
Give the video a watch for an acoustic spin on a song called “Taking Back My Heart.” Absolutely beautiful.
Talk soon.
On Tuesday the 22nd, Sara Bareilles is set to release her Ben Folds produced EP, and clearly by the amount of posts related to her on my part lately, I’m excited.
This title track from the EP, “Once Upon Another Time” is absolutely mind blowing. It is stunning, with sound layers that I haven’t heard from her before. I can only hope her next full length LP is as matured and beautiful as this.
Talk soon.
This. And her. The last few days.
Enjoy, and talk soon.
Let’s be real - this is how you sang James Brown. Only this way. No other way.
Joshua Ledet is on Idol right now, and he has one of the best voices I’ve heard in a long time.
Just watch.
Talk soon.
I’m not that familiar with Against Me!, aside from their status in music over the years, and I think this is pretty remarkable. More power to Laura and stepping out in the landscape she is in.
Here’s a bit more from GLAAD - http://www.glaad.org/blog/lead-singer-punk-band-against-me-comes-out-transgender-rolling-stone
“Gabel was, in the plainest language possible, confiding in the listener, and virtually everyone who heard it assumed it was fiction.”—
Matthew Perpetua on Against Me!’s now-quite confessional song, “The Ocean,” as frontman Tom Gabel comes out as transgender.
Every morning on my way into work, I put the music on that fits my mood - as most people do. Sometimes it’s obvious, others it takes a bit more thought. Usually I take my 15 minute drive to listen to something that I like to sing along to embarrassingly in my car, while driving towards downtown. And the other times, I choose a CD or artist I haven’t listened to in a while, or much at all. This morning was one of the other times.
I’m a huge P!nk fan, I have been ever since she came out. I love her voice, attitude, and willingness to speak up. Her fourth album, “I’m Not Dead,” is my favorite from her. She layered the album with diverse music and lyrical honesty - two of my favorite qualities. So this morning, I put that album on for my drive, and all of the love I have for her and her music just came flooding back.
There is one song in particular from that album that is pretty groundbreaking - “Dear Mr. President.” She wrote it in the heart of President Bush’s presidency, and caused quite a stir. Check out the video above from her world tour performing this song.

The Night just continue to surprise me. Check out their cover of Rihanna’s “We Found Love.” They just add a completely different level and feel to the song.
Talk soon.
We made a cover of Rihanna’s We Found Love.
Check out the link above for an interview and 2 performances from Rita Ora - Jay-Z’s new protege. The London baised singer has all the qualities that I love - she is creatively involved in her music, her voice is stunning, and she makes urban pop music. Her buzz over in the UK was everywhere, and now she is making her way over here. She has had a few showcases, and hopefully we’ll see an album soon. Check her out.

You need to hear this song. A new band based out of London, and they are starting to release their music. Give it a listen.
Talk soon.

Do ya’ll remember Adele?
Tonight in Hong Kong, Lady Gaga performed The Born This Way Ball for the first time in an arena. She opened the tour in Seoul, but due to government restrictions, the show was quite edited. Now that the first of 4 Hong Kong shows is done, and I was very curious to see how the show would translate in an arena setting, and with it being the full show.
Almost a year ago, I saw Gaga live for the first time at both of her shows in Minnesota, and it honestly was the best concert I have ever been to. I am anxiously awaiting the US dates to be announced.
Check out the video above for a preview of The Born This Way Ball.

She’s back!
Even though I’m not a Chris Brown fan, this track is pretty incredible. Perfect blend of what is happening in music today, but still keeping her trademark style.
So much new music today!
