Andrei MihaiThe world is full of high-quality music of all genres, but finding royalty-free music to use in videos (or other projects) can be quite a drag. Keep in mind — royalty-free is different than free music you can use in a Youtube video, for instance. Free music is something you can download and listen at your convenience, for free, but you can’t necessarily use it for commercial purposes. Essentially, it’s free for download and personal…

Closer (Akouo Remix)- Thief
Joe Mills
I made the decision to listen to this version of the track when I saw the link, rather than go and listen to the original first. Immediately I was was hooked and felt it stood up as a song on its own, which is always a good sign when it comes to remixes, which can often be simply remixes for the sake of remixes. Labeled on soundcloud as ‘bleepstep’, its glitchy and unexpected, but not…

Action Bronson: Blue Chips 2
Action Bronson released Blue Chips 2 his highly anticipated follow up effort to last year’s Blue Chips earlier this week. Just like the first, this mixtape is produced entirely by Party Supplies. Between Big Body Bes’s frequent cameo appearances and the various Spanish commercial interludes, Blue Chips 2 is easily one of the funniest releases of 2013. The album has all the Bronson trademark aspects, obscure celebrity references, elaborate food eaten eccentrically, tons of weed, and big women. Blue…

Justin Zamarripa
Keegan Tawa is an electronic artist who is currently a student at State College in Pennsylvania. Tawa’s training in jazz and contemporary music theory gives him the ability to put a unique spin on house, disco, and electronic music. He recently released a new song called “Return To Matter,” which features Kathleen Warner on vocals. It’s a great dance track but also features more laid back sections that give the song room to breath in…
Daniel Bedingfield gets naked in his new video: Secret Fear
Source Daniel Bedingfield relapses again by deciding to get naked for his new video, where he appears with a sexy, beautiful naked girl, playing the game of love, passion and fury. Looks like he has a thing for appearing naked – he did it the first time in his other video, Rocks Off, where a bunch of horny girls actually rip off all of his clothes. I really like the video’s…
Trouble – Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
Olivia Pad
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED) is a name created by the cleverly imaginative Orlando Higginbottom. Even his name oozes originality and creativity. You may have heard his song “Garden” which is featured on this album, backing the recent Nokia Lumia advert. He is definitely a new artist that wades in the mainstream and strides in the underground. Listening to this album for the first time after only hearing his song “Garden” made me realise his…
New Gorillaz video features James Murphy, Andre 3000 and a slew of crazy
Tibi PuiuGorillaz just recently released their new single, “DoYaThing” which is available for free download on Converse Music, and also threw in a music video to go with it. James and Andre 3000 are great in the track, and you’ll be delighted to see how they’ve been depicted for the video, along with the series of creepy, yet exciting scenes, like a toast and human ears breakfast, overly “aggressive” product placement and a 3-D 2-D. Great…
Album Review: The Dead Milkmen, “The King In Yellow”
Drew MorganEveryone’s favorite obnoxious punk band is back, after only 16 years! That’s right, I’m talking about The Dead Milkmen, who have an all-new album recorded and ready to go.

After composing new songs and touring for a few years, they began recording The King In Yellow in 2010, and released the hard copy…
