Janelle Monae :: The ArchAndroid
There are times when you hear an album and it impresses you in such a way that you want to just forget anything else is out there at the moment. Upon ETS friend and Drinkcast personality Michael’s request, I gave new up-and-comer Janelle Monáe’s album, The Archandroid: Suites II and III a whirl. And in …
LCD Soundsystem :: This Is Happening
Ah, the musical project that people keep telling me to listen to but I never get around to doing it.

Covers Revue, Vol. 25 – Smashmouth covers "Why Can't We Be Friends?" :: Originally by WAR
Ah, Smashmouth. The band who came up with great hits such as “Walking on the Sun” and “All-Star” (look how cute Dane Cook and Joel McHale were back in 2001!). You know, I really forgot how much I like this band until just now when I was looking up their videos! Though they formed in …
Vampire Weekend :: "Contra"
Though I’ve heard much about Vampire Weekend, I hadn’t actually heard the band until recently when MySpace premiered their latest album exclusively. Contra is full of pop and new wave influences, making it a great listen. Especially for when you’re out on a nice spring day!
