Given our pseudo-theme of the month, I felt it was only appropriate that we carried on for a couple more weeks. This month has all been centered around power-pop artists and this week is yet another artist who has the ability to belt out catchy, meaningful, and often playful tunes. While power-pop may not be …

Artist of the Week-Fountains of Wayne
Well, Valentine’s Day (or “Singles Awareness Day” as I was recently corrected) has come and passed, but regardless of whether you celebrated on Tuesday or were waiting for the weekend to get down to business we have our lock for Artist of the Week ready for your reading and listening pleasure. When everyone else is …
Artist of the Week-Jordan Zevon
February is here and just around the corner is the day that singles hate and couples go all out to make sure that they’re going to get some. That’s right, Valentine’s Day. That hallmark holiday made to get people to spend more money in the holiday dead months. As a man who has spent every …
Artist of the Week (Legend Series)-Birdmonster
The Jan “NEW” ary theme is one that is both fun to work with, but with its drawbacks. Example: finding new bands for the regular week isn’t so tough, but when it comes to finding a legend to stick into the final slot, well, it’s not so easy. How do you determine a band is …
Artist of the Week-The Silent Comedy
The end of our January new music special is nearly come to a conclusion with only one more week after this one to go, and we are showing no signs of slowing down. This week we bring you a band that is slowly gaining a name for themselves in the music community with songs making …
Artist of the Week-Princeton
Our second artist for our new and up-coming month of music, we’re bringing you some local boys (if you’re from Southern California). This week we have the lovers of literature, the scintillating songsters that make you feel a load smarter just by listening to them, but without that feeling of shame when you don’t get …
Artist of the Week-Middle Class Rut
A hearty welcome to 2012 and our first artist of the week…of the year! In case you didn’t happen to tune in to the show, this month we’re showcasing the new tunes, the up-and-comers, and the soon-to-be-known. Our artist this week is one who, in their few years together, is managing to make way into …
Artist of the Week (Legend Series)-R.E.M.
The end of the year is here and with that comes our final artist of the week for the year. As mentioned in the clues during the show, our artist has mirrored our year in that they too are coming to a close. After 30 years as a band making hit records, paving the way …
Artist of the Week-Arcade Fire
We’ve reached that point in time where we now have to say goodbye to the year of 2011. While we are about to ring in a new year and pull up new resolutions (or revive old ones), it is also the time to reflect upon a year’s worth of deeds, decisions, and dilemmas. Were we …
Artist of the Week-Stornoway
Nearing the end of the year we’re getting into sentimental times. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, or nothing at all, the promise of a new year and constant bombardment of holiday shows and advertisements, you can’t help but feel as though it’s some sort of reflective time of year. Though our artist this week …
