I went to see the Killers concert on Thursday night. I hadnt spent much time listening to the new album, but I pretty much know the entire first album by heart. It was at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, and I was excited to check out a new music venue. Overall, the concert was…
I love new and interesting music but given the profileration of bands and the ease with which people can create music, it is almost impossible to find good indie bands these days. For me, that is all solved because of the KEXP listener supported radio station in Seattle. First, it is not owned by…

A video showing the raw potential of Notorious BIG at age 17. I cant even imagine how good he would have been if he hadnt died at such a young age. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hbwdAOogBw&hl=en&fs=1&]
