LxListening: Punks These Days

5 Apr

Punks Not Dead, punk no dead

Some think that punk music is dead, but I tend to disagree. Post punk, garage-punk, grunge-punk, pop-punk, noise-punk; whatever you want to call it, the roots are still the same.

1 Mar

Odds and Ends 2.0 playlist

It seems this time early in the year, there usually isn’t a ton of releases and because of this, I try to use this time of year to explore some older artists I haven’t had a chance to. So without further ado, here are five songs that have really struck me this past month.

Five Favorite Broadway Songs

So I was not at all raised on the theater being in a house of four brothers and no sisters, and I still to this day have only seen a handful of musicals, but in recent years, I have really fallen in love with the art form. And after seeing the absolutely hilarious Book of Mormon this past week, I have dug back into my Broadway song favorites. So here are five of my favorite Broadway songs from five of my favorite musicals.
