Artist of the Week – Paramore
Despite lacking updating the site and keeping current with a song of the week or artist of the week, I have to say Paramore is actually a really good group. It’s good for a few reasons: Â it has the grunge and anger of Avril in her earlier years, but also has the feeling of Garbage [...]

Sirius and XM Merger?
I heard about it last night and it angers me. I’m not sure what all of the hype is about since none of this is official (i.e. has not been approved). It still has to be approved, making it a huge monopoly if approved and making things interesting. So that doesn’t mean this will actually [...]

Featured Music: Gym Class Heroes – Cupid’s Chokehold
It’s been a while since I last did the featured music of the week. So here goes… This week on Sirius Hits 1, I heard a song that had a catchy beat and some interesting lyrics. The song starts off about how this guy has a girlfriend and how Cupid has him in a tight [...]

XM’s Redesigned Website – Still a Mess and Unusable
A while ago, I commented on XM Satellite Radio’s website and did a whole project on it for one of my classes (Note: this is about XM Satellite Radio’s website and not a review of Sirius’ website as it has a few issues too). The link, issues, and design flaws can be found in the [...]

98 Rock loses Kirk and Mark
98 Rock (WIYY) in Baltimore (WIYY) was possibly the last good station left on FM in Baltimore. As a subscriber of Sirius and XM Satellite Radio, I seldomly listened to the station but when I did, I enjoyed the show and program that Kirk McEwen and Mark Ondayko did in the mornings. It was a [...]

Featured Music: Imogen Heap – Just For Now
So I’m temporarily back from a summer hiatus. I noticed I hadn’t done any nerw music recently so I’m overdue. That’s where this week’s post comes in: Imogen Heap – Just For Now from her Speak For Yourself album. The song is more chill than anything else, I think. I recently stumbled upon it on [...]

Cirque du Soleil – Delirium
Last night, I went to see my second Cirque du Soleil show, Delirium. Last year, I went to see Varekai with Cara. Delirium started off pretty weird. It was more music-based than acrobatics-based. The whole theme of the show, if you even attempt to understand it (which isn’t recommended), was Life and Death. One of [...]

Legality of Online Music Stores, AllOfMP3.com
Lately, there’s been a bit of flurry in the online world about the legality of AllOfMP3.com. While the service is based in Russia, it’s likely not legal for those outside of Russia to use the service. Then again, that’s just an educated guess since I am not up on current laws and know enough about [...]

Featured Music: Angels & Airwaves – The Adventure
I’m not one to usually recommend teen pop type songs or artists, but I think Blink 182 has come a long way and spun off some decent other groups such as Boxcar Racer and Angels & Airwaves. So, this week I’m recommending The Adventure by Angels & Airwaves. Most of the songs on the CD [...]
