Oh Margot – Beautiful Embracement
If you liked the Solipsist video that Tom posted earlier this week, you might want to check this shit out. It’s not an experimental video, or as crazy, but it’s pretty damn good. If you want to know what you’re in for: Band – Oh Margot … Read more
I’m Looking Forward to Block Party… Yea, I Said It
The University Union officially announced yesterday that DJ Kaskade will be headlining this year’s Block Party, with support being provided by the Cold War Kids. The moment my roommate told me the lineup, I (more or less literally) squealed with joy. I guess I’m the only one who felt that way, though. Within 24 hours, #thingsidratherdothangotoblockparty was trending worldwide … Read more
Mashup Monday: Sia + David Guetta + The Proclaimers + Midnight Oil?
My new thing to do on Tuesday nights is to take HotCore Rock at O Yoga Studio in Armory Square. It’s hot, it’s core intensive, it’s fast, and the teacher blasts music. Long story short… it rocks. This song was playing at the class I took two weeks ago, and I can’t stop listening to … Read more
BRRUUUCEEEEE
Last night, Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band performed at the legendary Apollo Theatre for the first time together since the passing of saxophonist Clarence Clemmons, kicking off their Wrecking Ball tour. In typical Springsteen fashion, they were simultaneously celebrating 10 years of Sirius/XM Radio and raising money for WhyHunger charity. Entertainment gods spotted at the event included Elvis … Read more

In my procrastination efforts… I found some cool/weird shit online and decided to share it with you. 1. Clay Aiken is on … Read more
A Music Revolution
Lately, “Did you hear Dayglow is coming back?” and “Are you getting tickets to Steve Aoki?” seem to be the talk of Syracuse. Granted, talking about how warm Syracuse is this year is an overused topic of conversation at this point in the school year, but a year ago at this time, electronic music and … Read more
Dumb Talk on NME
It’s late, and you’ve got a ton of work to do. Instead, you opt for an hour or five of some mindless web surfing. This can only mean one of two things. Either A) there’s some serious procrasterbation about to go down, or B) you’re about to run the gauntlet on your favorite bookmarks. We’ve … Read more
And the Winner Is… Bahn Hiver? Bonny Bear? Boniver?
The GRAMMYs have now come and gone, but the success of an amazing band by the name of Bon Iver (pronounced: BONE-EEVAIR), should not go unnoticed. The band was awarded Best Alternative Album and Best New Artist. For those of you haven’t followed Justin Vernon any longer than his week in the spotlight you may … Read more
Jimkata
Jimkata put on a stellar show Wednesday as they joined the list of jamtronica bands that have been rocking The Westcott so far this year. The show drew an audience sized for perfect intimacy. It was much too large to fit into any house show, yet small enough to leave ample room for everyone in … Read more
It’s 1:18 A.M. and I can’t sleep. Why?…
It’s 1:18 A.M. and I can’t sleep. Why? I’ll tell you why. Because the same song has plagued me for weeks, slowly moving in and out of the forefront of my attention, but always creeping back in when I least expect it. I’ll preface this with the truth: it’s not a particularly good one. And … Read more
