Madonna Is Back

Being a Madonna fan is my guilty pleasure. Judge me if you want, I get inspired by the force that this 53-year old powerhouse of reinvention (not just Photoshop nip/tucks), business and marketing. Now admit that you love her too and let me feed you what expects us in 2012 from the material girl. Madonna will be releasing her new

Kate Bush’s Influence On Humanity

The other day I was thinking about musical influences and what makes me so attracted to them.  While I was thinking about this, listening to my digital music library on shuffle, a song by Kate Bush came on, and it then struck me!  Though I came across Kate Bush sometime around mid 2002 (Yes I know I was a late

Sean’s Top 10s of 2011

Most of 2011 for me was spent in Berlin, where I focused more on my introverted self, homing in on my love for darker, sadder, more serious sounds.  Not all of it was that serious in tone, my great friend Christo  allowed for the both of us to get up and dance around our flat in our underwear (I really

Fur & Gold – Not Your Typical Gay Party

What is Fur & Gold? Well, I’d first start off by saying that it’s an amazing Bat for Lashes Album (2006), but it’s also the name of a party that I started to host back in 2010. I know that doesn’t sound too long ago, but we are rapidly approaching our two year anniversary of our night. Many things have

Listen & Download: Madonna – Give Me All Your Love

How do I start this post now? I’ll just paste my draft, since this track is only the demo anyway and it can change – just like my opinion about it. The track is produced by Martin Solveig, who had some really good tracks in the beginning of his career but then starting producing commercial crap. This one is on

Mixtape #1 – A New Season of Change

[8tracks width=”250″ height=”250″ playops=”” url=”http://8tracks.com/mixes/420374″] The fall brings upon a new change, dying life/hibernation, darkness, and something a little more moody I’d say.

Kimbra – Open up your Heart

It’s almost like I’m reliving a moment in the 80s that I’m just not that sure of.  Like living in a fantasy, or combining the memories of Top Gun, Back to the Future, David Bowie’s crotch in the Labyrinth, folded paper football love letters, songs that had a simplicity (Expose), and emotions that were honest and put forward (Dear Diary
