Today is definitely a Chromeo kind of day. The sun's shining (at least here in New York City) and it's Friday& what better a time to blast a little electrofunk. (Let's hope my office-mates feel...

I've been very lucky to, in my travels, meet the lovely guys in the band Steel Train. Besides being great people (from Jersey!), their new album, Trampoline, is a lot of fun. This past...

Today Canton, Ohio pop punk band Relient K is celebrating their tenth year of band-hood by releasing The Bird and the Bee Sides, an expansive 26-track EP. But that's not all. Many Relient K fans...

Last night, I caught Pearl Jam at Madison Square Garden. I've seen Pearl Jam twice before (both at the Garden, interestingly enough) and they've both been such intense concert experiences. (There's a difference between...

I'm always looking for new music to listen to while I run. (I'm not a natural runner, so I need things to trick myself into keeping at it.)  Sunday, I listened to my new...

Philadelphia's George Stanford grew up listening to artists like Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, and Paul Simon. After mastering the trombone, bass, guitar, and piano as a kid, it was obvious--music was his destiny. It's...

What did you ladies and gents think of the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night? I thought it was OK: Not great, not terrible. The project-placement seemed a little gross to me (I know actors...

In the June/July issue of Teen Vogue, I focused the MusicBlogger column on Laura Marling, the 18-year-old British folk singer. I first heard Laura's delicate-but-powerful songs when I picked up the My Manic and...
