If you were listening to the radio or watching MTV in 1997/98, you probably heard the band Fastball…a  lot.   You might not remember the band name but the song “The Way” was a huge hit that helped sell over a million records. I stumbled on a video with guitarist/vocalist Miles Zuniga on Gary V’s [...]

I recently got into The Weeknd, a Canadian R&B artist who’s got this incredibly moody/atmospheric/drugs vibe to his music.  Part of his image involves associating  himself with American Apparel style models and photography.  I stumbled across a Vimeo video for his tune, “High for this”, which I don’t think is an official video-but it works [...]

I haven’t got my hands on a copy yet, but it’s probably filled with truth [...]

You hear a singer sing and you can tell how much he/she feels what’s she’s singing.  Is she just trying [...]

It’s old news, but I just found Rick Ross was a cop before becoming a gansta’ rap star. That’s right, Mr. Boss was a correctional officer in the early 90′s.  Not quite a real cop, but still… As per wikipedia, In July 2008, The Smoking Gun produced details linking Ross’ social security number to an eighteen month [...]

They’re out touring to promote 20 years together and their upcoming documentary, PJ20 (it comes out tomorrow).  It got me thinking how important music documentaries are for fans but also for potential fans!
