…Startling to watch now and equally sad, chicks flat-out were not rocking any sort of sexy underwear on a consistent basis as late as the late 1990s. I hate saying the word panties as it gives me the willies. What they do to my willy, well, that’s a whole nother story…

It’s nice how we use music to recreate our memories when we sometimes can’t seem to find them. This 1,400-word post is about a five-day bender and the music I created, heard and thought about.

I just received word from Jessica Watson’s manager that he passed the song on to her!! So that you can join in on the fun, you can listen to the song http://www.bensultan.com or right here on CtheH.com

I was at my cousin’s house in Queens about three months ago. It was there that he made mention to me of a movie that recently came out titled “It Might Get Loud.” It’s a movie created for the guitar hero and music aficionado inside of us all.

I’m out in San Francisco for the weekend. It’s been a crazy trip so far. Yesterday was filled with rain. The entire country was enveloped in clouds as I flew over for 7 hours, but today to sky is clear, and I have a whole new batch of music to share of the next [...]

These guys have a budding track record of making the craziest videos. They did not disappoint with “O.N.E.” Though, compared to the “Ambling Arp” vid, this one is a little more crazy and a little less…messaged based. Just about every blog I’ve read hasn’t been able to figure out what, if anything, Yeasayer is [...]

I’m beyond excited. These guys are the best. The album will be called Heaven Is Whenever and it will be coming out around May 4th. Save the date!!!
From theholdsteady.net:
Singer Craig Finn says Heaven Is Whenever is about “embracing suffering and finding reward in our everyday lives.” Piano and keys take a backseat to guitar on [...]
The electro party duo MGMT is coming back soon, and they are releasing a few tracks to get the buzz going. Mission accomplished. The .mp3 of their track “Flash Delirium” from the upcoming album Congratulations is being offered for free from their site. Enjoy!

Against my better judgment, I went to Club 185 this past Saturday night.
If Club 185 (a bar in my neighborhood) on a Monday through Friday night is the “We are the World” recorded on Jan. 22, 1985, then Club 185 on a Saturday night is the “We are the World” laid down in February [...]

Not long ago, A friend and I attended the sole New York screening of “Dear Jack”, a documentary about the 2000’s piano rock hero, Andrew McMahon. McMahon was the front man of Something Corporate, a guitar and piano driven band out California. He is better known today as the powerhouse behind Jack’s Mannequin, [...]

I can hardly stand straight.
I’m a runner, so I would like to think that’s saying something. I’ve run some 20Ks, two half-marathons, I’m training to run a full marathon, but I was in no way prepared for the five-hour dance session Ed Banger Records pumped out at their 7th Anniversary celebration. The lineup was [...]

I am not sure if many folks my age remember, since we were all a little too young at the time, but the early 90’s were drenched in trance-y dance-rock. Maybe this craze didn’t hit America quite as hard as I think it did – we had Jesus Jones and EMF dish out [...]

Sophie B. Hawkins’ “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover” should be on every jukebox at a bar I’d go to in America. Fuck it, let’s just say North America. I got you, Canada! And I’d put more than even money on Sophie B. Hawkins being Canadian. F. She’s from New York City. You snooze, you lose.

hey all,
it’s been a little while since I’ve written something so I thought I’d share with you my current artist I’m listening a lot to…
they’re called The Gaslight Anthem and they’re incredible…
backstory: so I was riding in the car with one of my best buddies (that’s right Matt O’Connor, it’s you!) and he puts on [...]

I generally despise everything about pop music. It’s too simple, to the point that it encourages lazy music listening, it’s all about sex appeal, and it’s generally lyrically bankrupt. BUT, I love the hell out of mash-ups. Getcha dance on. This song is hot. (mp3 inside)

Here are two incredible music videos to unwind on your Sunday night. The first is of the amazing 5th Grade PS22 Chorus from Staten Island, performing Phoenix’s “Lisztomania.” The second is a crazy fun medley of Will Smith songs, performed with a cello, drum, and portable xylophone (…not by the PS22 kids). Go inside the post to download an mp3 of the performance.

For our first gig, we were set to play an end of the school year pool party, and we needed to rehearse. It was my first ever rehearsal with these guys, and unfortunately, it was also my last…

Major Lazer is an artist out of Jamaica with beats that impress. I heard this song about two months ago and then proceeded to hear it at some bars, but I never knew who it was by. After Shazam failed to recognize the song on Sirius, I devoted a three hours to [...]

I’m a huge Tori Amos fan. Her versatility & ability to be therapeutic has won me over. You might remember her as that crazy girl on the piano – but she’s more than that. Many people have discovered that her music can pull on your heartstrings. Her music covers a wide variety of [...]

He’s going ROGUE! Jónsi is coming out with a solo album soon and a few tracks have been prerelease. The album [...]
