Band of the Week: Digital Summer

My apologies for being a bit late with the newest band of the week (or, more realistically, 7-12 day period).  I know there must be so many annoyed readers out there (….), but this week’s band is definitely worth the wait.  The featured group is a Phoenix-based outfit called Digital Summer.  This band first came … Continue reading →

What Is The Warmth?

Most people think of the hit songs “Drive” and “I Wish You Were Here” when they think of the alternative rock group Incubus. Despite those mainstream (albeit good) songs, Incubus is actually a pretty off-the-wall experimental band. One of their better and more experimental songs is “The Warmth” from their third album Make Yourself. The … Continue reading →

Band of the Week: Eye Empire

Per a previous post of Ryan’s and some comments about the now-defunct band Submersed, this week’s featured band is a supergroup called Eye Empire.  Eye Empire’s lead singer is Donald Carpenter, who was Submersed’s vocalist before they sadly disbanded.  This fact sparked my initial interest in Eye Empire, as I think Carpenter has a truly … Continue reading →

“The Cave” & “Welcome to the Black Parade”

I ran across two songs on 99X (97.9 fm) in Atlanta that caught my attention. They’re both a little “different” and that’s probably why they caught my attention, but they’re also pretty good. “The Cave” by Mumford & Sons and “Welcome to the Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance have gotten a good bit of … Continue reading →

The Coca-Cola Happiness Campaign

While my three and a half years at Clemson were unbelievable, driving into downtown Atlanta for a real nine-to-five is pretty cool too. My internship is at Definition 6, and one of our marquee productions is the “Coca-Cola Happiness Machine.” It came out well before I got here, but it was an online video that … Continue reading →

Band of the Week: Egypt Central

After discussing a band named after an Egyptian god, we will transition smoothly to a band called Egypt Central.  An alternative metal band from Memphis, Egypt Central consists of vocalist John Falls, guitarist Jeff James, bassist Joey Chicago, and drummer Blake Allison. As far as the style of the band, I would best describe them … Continue reading →

Musical Side Notes on an Illegitimate Holiday

Today is Presidents’  Day and Definition 6 where I’m interning this semester gave everyone the day off. What a ridiculous federal Holiday, but it does give me the opportunity to share some great music that even Tommy can enjoy. First off all, I checked out Tommy’s band of the week, Ra, and was impressed. I … Continue reading →

Debut Band of the Week: Ra

In an effort to be more active on this blog, I am starting a new trend called “Band of the Week.”  The title is pretty self-explanatory; every week (or more realistically, every 7-12 days), I will post briefly about a certain band and give a short profile as well as some song samples.  I will … Continue reading →

A Blog That Everyone Yankee Fan Should Be Reading

I started following @LennysYankees on Twitter and eventually started reading his blog. Now it’s one of only two blogs I follow regularly (The other being Defining INSIGHTS). LenNY’s Yankees is written by Lenny Neslin, a Journalism student at Quinnipiac University in New York, and more importantly an avid Yankees fan. A while back he allowed … Continue reading →

Super Bowl XLV Prediction

Granted, since I’m a Packers fan, I have to go with my team here.  Oops, was that a spoiler?  Oh well…read this anyway. Of course Darrelle Revis picked the Steelers to win.  They beat his Jets, so he wants to be able to say his team lost to the eventual champs.  Cool guy or not, … Continue reading →
