Another year, another fantastic Record Store Day release by Garbage. This time around it’s “The Chemicals,” which features Brian Aubert of Silversun Pickups. But don’t expect it to sound like Silversun Pickups because it really doesn’t. At all.

Steve Aoki is known for making EDM that’s so heavy and aggressive that it’s practically metal. So, it should come as no surprise that he’s collaborated with Linkin Park on his latest single

Róisín Murphy’s delightful “Exploitation” sounds like the sort of song you’d come down to after being out all night partying at Ibiza or some other electronic dance festival. To that end, it is a wonderful come down song. Somewhat hyperactive, but its anxious beats aren’t too punchy, just lively enough to command your attention.

To my ears, R5 are like a cross between The Maine and Hysteria-era Def Leppard. And that’s a good thing. Def Leppard’s blend of pop and rock was the greatest thing since sliced bread at the time and “Let’s Not Be Alone Tonight” calls to mind “Pour Some Sugar On Me” with its danceable drum…

“King Kunta” is one of the highlights from Kendrick Lamar’s new album, To Pimp A Butterfly. My favorite part is when he disses rappers who use ghostwriters.

Yet another song where Ed Sheeran sings about drinking… In fact, this whole song is about feeling “the chemicals in my bloodstream.” So, I’m officially worried about ol’ Ed now. I think he needs an intervention. Stat.

Punchy. Powerful. Empowering.

One of the many things I love about Florence is her ability to sound both melancholic and hopeful at the same time. With most artists, they just fall into a gray area if they attempt to capture both ends of the happiness/depression scale at the same time. But Florence doesn’t fall into that grey area.…

“There was money in my pocket / Shoes on my feet / But I always felt like the one black sheep,” goes part of the chorus of Mat Kearney’s latest single, “One Black Sheep,” which is a punchy, highly addictive pop song.

I am grieving the loss of my pet turtle of 30 years right now, but this one brightened my day a tiny bit… I’ve always loved Lenka, though. To my ears, she’s like a cross between Natalie Imbruglia, Lily Allen and Kylie Minogue — all very talented women who I also love.
