Trying to show your friends a super cool song you found on a corrosponding Youtube link from one of the above songs in a noisey cafeteria? Don’t have enough juice in your box to pump mad bass? Unfortunately, the age of the iPhone has left a gaping hole where the boombox used to be. So to...

I am having to rethink my distaste for Instagram. The plain truth is that I like the pictures that have appeared on my Facebook feed. “Pff,” I used to think to myself, “That’s not real photography.” The other night, like some delinquent puritan courting a guilty pleasure, I went...

Josh Hyslop
posted by Mathew Braun
Joshua Hyslop is a modern folk artist who patterns himself after, and is constantly compared to, such musicians as Damien Rice, Ryan Adams, Sufjan Stevens, and Sam Beam of Iron and Wine. But don’t be mistaken; these artists do not define Hyslop. Rather, he takes his place amongst them in their perspective genres as a genuine songwriter and musician. But like the aforementioned musicians, Hyslop’s inspiration is drawn from the people and relationships that surround him, while also subjecting his songs to his own vulnerabilities, doubts, and conflicts. What sets Hyslop apart from the coffee shop crowd of “folk artists” is his faultless...

The first thing you should know is that before Arthur Christmas begins, you are “treated” to a “festive” Justin Bieber music video. Please do not hold this against Arthur Christmas, as it’s an incredibly charming, clever, and funny Christmas...
Christmas music
posted by Mathew Braun
It is Christmastime. Again. For many that brings to mind images of snowflakes, printed sweaters, eggnog with rum, and of course Christmas music. I love Christmas music. I also hate Christmas music. It seems paradoxical, but I don’t believe there is a better medium to properly express the feeling of the holidays. Just as we can embrace the holiday spirit without demanding everyone to “Have a Merry Christmas” or force copious amounts of chocolate oranges down our throats while posing for portraits with our family and cats dressed in matching sweaters and Santa hats, we can also love the nostalgia of Christmas music while equally hating...
