Holla! Just as beach weather is rolling in, Beach House released their new album, Bloom. The new album has 10 tracks that are peaceful yet invigorating. The music is upbeat and inspiring. Like for real, this is the music that should play as you leave a TED talk or after you figure out the meaning of life. For

Home Recording with the iPad
I spend a lot of time recording tracks on my iPad’s recording interface, GarageBand. I am sure most people with Apple products have heard of the program, but it’s an entirely different ball game when recording on the iPad. If you watch the video below you can see how the iPad is turned into a
Can I adopt these two?
I’m still not sick of these two cousins and I’m pretty sure I never will be. Sophia Grace (the more outspoken one) and Rosie (the hype girl) are bursts of energy that first gained worldwide attention from their Nicki Minaj viral video.

My favorite song of hers, Blue Jeans. Slow.

Music Monday: Miike Snow
Both of us were traveling this weekend and I as wandered through the airport I realized one thing: traveling without music is like a story with no plot, a soup with no pot, a soldier with no cot (if you will). Music is always necessary whether you’re strolling through the airport, road tripping through Ohio, or
