Wes Anderson films are about the story and his selective soundtracks play a huge factor. Vitamin String Quartet pays tribute to his intimate unions of film and music as innovative string arrangements of “Needle in the Hay” and “Here Comes My Baby” sweep you back into the deadpan drama.

Even before The Jazz Singer brought us audible dialogue, film and music have enjoyed a wonderful working relationship. Most of the time it’s still up to the movie to do the heavy lifting — the drama, the progression, the themes — but there are always exceptions. Once in a rare while, there will be a [...]
His name is Skrillex. Not only do scary monsters and sprites know it but the dance world has bowed down to his dubstep detour.

Courtney Love’s recent renewal of her spat with Dave Grohl reminds us that beefs in the music world aren’t just for rappers. Sure, there have been plenty of rap battles – from ones that end in a truce, like Nas and Jay Z (whose white flag to Nas was a record deal with Def Jam) [...]

No Doubt fans, rejoice! Last week, the band announced their new album’s release date, (the first since 2001,) which is slated for September 25th.

There is definitely a danger in covering a song too many times. It can become grating the way overplayed songs on the radio can be grating, and at its worst, it can dilute the power of the original. Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” is certainly in the overcovered class, (Cohen himself has entertained the idea of calling [...]
There are patterns in the universe that we don’t yet fully understand, from the Fibonacci Sequence to the Golden Ratio. Then, of course, there is the sophomore slump: the phenomenon wherein which a popular band releases a groundbreaking debut album, and then just when everyone is primed for their second full-length, they release something that [...]
