Asking For Directions Isn't Always a Bad Thing

I’ve talked about how to be proactive in the search for the perfect beats in the past, but today’s lesson is in being reactive in the journey of musical discovery and not being afraid to ask for some guidance along the way.

You don’t listen to everything. I do.

So you’re getting to know someone and you ask them what they listen to because that’s the most important nowadays. They say one word, “everything.” This is where you get angry because that helps no one. Seriously. How are you supposed to relate to them? They’ve given you nothing. Read on for how to fix this.

Ska Punk Revolution!

You haven’t heard of ska. Not until now at least. This crazy genre is all about the fun. Not many ska bands take themselves seriously.

Album Spotlight: KABOOM! (I FIght Dragons)

If I haven't told you to listen to IFD yet, I'm sorry. I've done you a disservice. This is a great band that I believe most everyone can get into. They don't take themselves too seriously, yet they have such a strong sense of musicianship with their live use of various video game controllers to create an array of pretty noises for your ears. So kick back and enjoy my spotlight on I Fight Dragon's first full length, debut album KABOOM!

The Weekly Dig: Mumford and Sons

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

When you slip into "Music Land" and your headphones are crackling, popping and don't have a good mix of bass, mid and treble sounds, your music sucks. So I'm going to give you some tips for buying great headphones for just enjoying music
