The Ultimate Maxwell Playlist for His Kings Theatre Concert on September 28 by NWO Sparrow
Your Ultimate Maxwell at Kings Theatre Playlist: A Brooklyn Night's Soundtrack Forget your standard issue concert preview. I AM NOT here to just tell you that Maxwell is playing Kings Theatre on Sunday, September 28th. You already know that. Your soul knows that. Your ticket confirmation email knows that. I am here to do something far more important. I am here to curate the vibe.

I can't bear it with my ears, eyes too
the most annoying thing for me was the Kaoma & Lambada Chico & Roberta, I don't know why, it really makes me feel uncomfortable at times, there's something unpleasant about that sound, but I have an image in my head of myself dancing it over and over again when I was a child and somehow I have both love and hate relations with them all I think it just depends on how do you feel and what we process in some moments or maybe the violence in there put me into bad mood about it all so my brain registered this information and couldnt get through into the happy lambada dancing tune

10 Obscure 90s Rock Albums That Deserve Another Listen
In the past, if you wanted to find old albums, you had to dig through CDs at the used record store and hope you'd uncover a few lost treasures. Today, Spotify hosts thousands of obscure albums that you can check out for free. This includes the 90s alternative rock genre, which has plenty of one-hit and one-album wonders who might've been forgotten without Internet archivists.

Some Music YOU Will Probably Hate
Introduction This is for Sam Spinelli's challenge that you can read about here: Now, the thing is, I don't hate any music. I might find some annoying or banal like elevator music, and the fact that almost all music seems to end up advertising something, but if something comes on the radio and I don't like it, I switch it off or change channels.

Rock 'n' Roll Highschool
Riff Randell (actress P.J. Soles) likes to rock ’n’ roll — that much is safe to say. And in this cult hit from 1979, she does her rocking with the help of those lovable lunkheads The Ramones (who, according to singer — the late frog-legged crooner Joey Ramone — once collectively pissed in a beer before handing it to John “Johnny Rotten” Lydon). She’s ensconced at Vince Lombardi High, a school where even Mötley Crüe might feel at home, thanks to all the “smokin’ in the boys room.”

Minimalist Rock and Roll
Introduction Often the songs that are promoted as being great are complicated and can only be played by accomplished musicians but I think it takes genius to create something very simple that can be done by anyone.

Foos Files
There are thousands of podcasts that focus on a band or musician. Like TV rewatch podcasts, they make sense from a monetary perspective, because the podcaster has a built-in audience. In the course of this search, I’ve discovered Adele podcasts, Drake podcasts, numerous Beyonce podcasts, and even a podcast about Insane Clown Posse.

10 Eighties Emo Albums That Defined the Genre
Eighties music has a reputation for being bright, sparkly and poppy, but in Washington, D.C., a darker genre was starting to evolve. The first "emotional hardcore" bands emerged from the 80s punk scene, setting the stage for mainstream emo to explode in the 2000s while giving listeners an outlet for their heartache, grief and rage.

For The Family
Introduction I thought it might be fun to create a playlist of family-related songs, possibly veering towards progressive, and artists who are my favourites. So it may be the song title or the artist's name, obviously Family have to be in there, though they have an entry of their own in my Beat stories here:

Music at the Margins: Why the Church Needs Outsiders to Lead Revival
God Moves at the Edges History makes one truth clear: revival rarely begins at the center of power. It begins at the margins, among those dismissed, overlooked, or rejected by polite society.

Why 3Quency Is the Next Big Name in Music
By Sandy Lo This summer, Netflix introduced viewers to a wave of musical hopefuls on Building The Band, hosted by Backstreet Boy AJ McLean. The twist? Their bandmates were chosen Love Is Blind-style, in private booths where the only things to go on were vocal talent and vibe-check conversations.
