Seattle’s the Head and the Heart

Seattle is stereotyped for being the original grunge capital of the world, however this past summer I was introduced to the soothing sounds of “the Head and the Heart”, and am still blown away 7 months later by their harmonious, well-crafted tone. Great music to listen to in the car to take your mind off the stress of the traffic, or enjoy while taking a hike through the mountains. Take a listen and go to their web page for more details on upcoming shows. http://www.theheadandtheheart.com/


WrestleMania XXVIII is on the way, and an “Invincible” theme song has been selected

The Super Bowl is this Sunday, but the event of the year is still to come, WrestleMania 28. Being an avid watcher of WWE Raw, and a huge fan of the WWE in general, I felt that we needed to squeeze this article in, especially since WrestleMania is much more global than the Super Bowl. Machine Gun Kelly’s (MGK), song, “Invincible”, featuring Ester Dean was picked to be the theme song at Wrestlemania this April. MGK, will also join other hip-hop artists like Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, Mayday, Prozak and Stevie Stone on their “Hostile Takeover Tour 2012″. The tour will consist of 90 shows in 99 days, spanning from coast to coast.

Beatles, Pink Floyd, Radiohead with an irie twist

Who isn’t a fan of at least one of the mentioned bands above?!? Most likely you like all three, but what happens when you give songs like “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, “Money”, or “Karma Police” a twist of reggae?

You get the sounds produced by the prominent international band, Easy Star All-Stars. They have managed to take classic songs of our time and make them their own, adding horns, steel drums, strings, an the melodic sounds of the organ. Like reggae tends to do, The Easy Star All-Stars will help you end your day, lifting your troubles away, and giving you that happy uptempo beat that will turn anyone’s frown, upside down. The Easy Star All-Stars will be making their way to downtown Miami, FL., to appear at the “One Love Nutrifest”, on February 18, 2012.

Where have all the good times gone?

They are on the way back, as Van Halen announces the release of their new album and tour dates. The Pulse of Radio reports the review of Van Halen’s new album, “A Different Kind Of Truth”, and  Critic Johnny Firecloud says “That old familiar feeling has returned, the unique flare of excitement that comes from a muscle car rhythm section led by a six-string wizard and a singing sexual megalodon with an ego that made Kanye look like a kid flaunting his new Spider-Man underoos — and the pipes to back up the strut.”
