Old Men Singing ‘Lion King’ At A Tim Horton’s is Downright Canadian, Eh! [VIDEO]
There is something insanely pleasant about walking into a Tim Horton’s (which is essentially the Canadian version of a Denny’s) and discovering a bunch of old guys crooning out really harmonized versions of “Lion King” songs. Down here in L.A., old guys only sing if they’re trying to lure children into their rape vans. The [...]
Finally A Reason To Pop The Molly You Got For Xmas: Skrillex Drops 3 Track EP Via YouTube
I grew up in the punk and hardcore scene, which means I’ve heard a lot of bullshit in my life. We’re talking about the kind of noise people associate with ritual sacrifice and the Son of the Morning — that’s right: Beelzebub. While I consider myself an expert on ear bleed-inducing nonsense, nothing could have [...]
Viral ‘I Hate Christmas’ Song Warms My Cold, Cold Heart [VIDEO]
It’s a beautiful thing when two separate worlds, North and South America, can find common ground over a dislike of something as pure as Christmas. I just wish the South Americans had brought something a little more coherent to the table. In this viral video that is rapidly gaining traction (and yet, I feel it [...]
Mac Lethal Rips Westboro Baptist Church in Spectacular Rap Fashion [VIDEO]
You ever been completely in awe of someone’s talent, and yet, have absolutely no desire to have a conversation with that person? It mostly happens to me with hobos playing the saxophone outside of hockey games (I’ve been to three different hockey arenas, each had their own hobo-with-a-saxophone … weird), but today Mac Lethal strikes [...]
Young Sam | Hip Hop Artist
“Grind Till We Rich” is by far the most personal track on Young Sam’s new album “TRAPfornia.” It also happens to be the track that the LA-based rapper is most proud of. “’Grind Till We Rich’ is real motivational. It’s like letting people know like you got to do what you got to do to [...]
‘Gangnam Style’/'Call Me Maybe’ Mashup Has Possibly Satanic Undertones [VIDEO]
I’ve watched this video a couple times now, and each viewing has left me just a little more creeped out. The haters will say that I’m just no fun or that I’m probably just tired of watching PSY and Carly Rae Jepsen parodies four months past their expiration date, but that’s not it at all. [...]
Will Creator Content on YouTube Share the Same Fate as Today’s Music?
Back in June, NMR did an interview with R&B legend Brian McKnight. The part of his interview that stuck out the most to me was when he started talking about the state of music today: “You have to understand – all those record labels back then were privately owned. They weren’t having to deal with [...]
Ben Gibbard Drops ‘Former Lives’ on YouTube Before its Oct.16 Release Date
If you’ve been itching for some new Death Cab For Cutie material, you’ll have to wait a little while longer. On the other hand, lead singer Benjamin Gibbard’s first solo effort, “Former Lives,” will be hitting record shelves and iTunes next Tuesday. If you’d like to hear his debut album right now, or if you [...]
That Awkward Moment when Ke$ha is on TV and this Boy is Singing on the Streets [VIDEO]
Is the Dolly Parton/Whitney Houston ballad “I Will Always Love You” making a comeback on YouTube? Yesterday, we highlighted Zendee Rose Tenerefe’s breakout performance of the classic hit, which has garnered millions of views and a possible guest spot for the singer on Ellen DeGeneres’ show. Now, Zendee Rose should maybe look forward to bringing [...]
Megan Nicole | Musician
The LACMA, or Los Angeles County Museum of Art — as the blue bloods like to call it — is looking pretty barren on this particular Los Angeles afternoon. People are trickling in and out of exhibit halls and a crew is setting up a main stage where, if I know the LACMA, an Afrobeat [...]
