Earlier this year I mentioned Andrew McMahon’s latest project, and I also got to see him on tour once again last month. Now, a video has been released for the lead track, “Cecilia and the Satellite.” Continue reading

The march towards the release of “Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness” continues, and along with a pre-order of the album on his website and iTunes, we’re also treated the release of a second song from the upcoming album, “High Dive.” Continue reading
Andrew McMahon’s latest: ‘Cecelia & the Satellite’
Andrew McMahon, heading out on tour, has unleashed a new track to keep us going, and this one’s a bit more epic than some of his first solo material, released last year. Continue reading
Sir Mix-a-Lot raps his infamous hit, backed by an orchestra
Ah, Sir Mix-a-Lot. You wrote a song that has given adolescents to grind for 20 years. You’ve been banned by MTV. You coined the phrase “little in the middle but you’ve got much back.” And now, with your collaboration with the Seattle Symphony, your cult status continues to burn brightly. Continue reading
Christmas Present: Jack’s Mannequin’s “The Lights and Buzz”
For today’s entry, we wind the clock back a few years to a group that, at the time, was billed as a solo side project for an artist from a band (who this year broke up from said “side project,” which had ultimately become a band itself, to record solo). Continue reading

As such, this is less a first-reaction review as it is a final digestion of his first music as a true solo artist, following his runs in Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin. Continue reading
