Super talented, artsy pop artist Bright Light Bright Light has re-recorded “Everything I Ever Wanted” for Elton John’s Aids charity with The Pink Singers and it’s quite beautiful. In fact, it just might be our favorite track that he’s ever done, which is saying a lot because we’ve never disliked a single song of his.…

Thanatos is also a dutch metal band celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, though the band had broken up in 1992 and wasn’t launched again until 1999.

If you miss the days of pretty hair band ballads, you should appreciate We The Kings’ ambitious new single, “Stone Walls,” which starts off nice and mellow and gradually builds into something potent if not powerful. I’ve always preferred their acoustic tracks and ballads, so this one was right up my alley and is the…

Why yes, the rumors are true… Bell and Sebastian have gone disco! Oh, the horror! Actually, it’s a glorious tune. From the funky bass guitar to the invigorating percussion and the flourishes of radiant synth, everything about this song is perfect. We’re not sure we’re sold on the idea of their new album, Girls in…
