Song of the Week - July 31

Matt's Song of the Week

My song of the week is "Thinking of You" by Frank Ocean. I chose it because he's an incredibly talented singer first of all and second of all the way he orchestrates his songs is flawless and a breath of fresh air to R&B.

Mike's Song of the Week

I picked "Not Now" by Blink-182. I picked it cause theres open show is this week and this brings back memories of a time bbefore they broke up and now its a start of a new Blink era.

Music News: Up All Night

Recently Blink-182, one of the pioneers of modern Punk Rock,  released a new song called "Up All Night."

It was released July 15, 2011 and since then has been the talk of music fans across the world. Here are the thoughts of one of our new writers, Tom:

Blink-182 is back with new music, and has it been all that we have been waiting for? Honestly, no. Their new single up all night does not capture any sort of angst or punk rock feel that makes Blink what it is. It is clear that Tom brought much of his angels and airwaves sound into blink, and it really shouldn’t be there. I was a little concerned from the start as it seems that making new music with blink has been a second thought for all of them since they all have their other projects that they seem to be much more involved in. The communication internally with the band has be very bad as there have been multiple times mark has said one thing and Travis and said something else and tom said something else as well. It’s unfortunate, but you can hear all of this in the song. I might be over reacting and all I can hope for is perhaps the next single will be much more similar to their older work, even if it’s their untitled album. Up all night sounds like an angels and airwaves song more than anything to me and even though I enjoy that sound, it’s not the sound I want to hear from blink. Hopefully this doesn’t turn out to be another cash cow like give the drummer some.

 

 

I personally think Tom hit the nail right on the head, but Mike thinks much differently. Let us know what you think by commenting below or on facebook or twitter.

Song of the Week - July 17

We had to take a lil' break for personal  reasons, but no were back and better than ever.

Matt's Song of the Week
Weezer - Unspoken

This song is just- amazing. It sounds like early Weezer, but it also strays away from typical Weezer songs. I love it.

Mike's Song of the Week
Blink-182 - Up All Night

Blink is a band that I grew up listening to and they finally came out with a new song, and this is that song. I love it!
