The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It (Madeon Remix) [2010]

After listening to Madeon, its hard to believe that this artist is only 15 years old! Truly a future venturer in music and has a bright future. Catch this one before it blows up! Honestly, the beat is uptempo but has a chill feel inside the music. Also, I'm a fan of the Killers so even better!

Macklemore "THE TOWN" Official Music Video

Macklemore is on the rise! This underground rap from Seattle is seriously doing some work. The lyrics are so deep and it just has this all around good feeling. The video is good, but close your eyes and enjoy this one

Chicago Concerts 11/17-21


Hey all we got some good concerts coming down to the Chi this weekend so lets get to it!  On Wednesday we got Powerman 5000 at the Cubby Bear, and I know that this is not yet the weekend but Powerman5000 is too good to miss.  Circa Survive is playing at the House of Blues on Friday, Rick Ross is hustin' down at The Chicago Theatre, and Paul Oakenfold is performing at the House of Blues later on in the night.  On Saturday Tiesto is mixing at the UIC Pavillion.  Also Sam Adams and LA Riot is at the House of Blues next Monday, so pretty much the House of Blues is the place to be this week.  Enjoy.

Taken Off- Cam Meekins

Here's a really good one. Cam Meekins is a out of Newton, MA and is a real young artist, but this song is real chill. The lyrics, the beat, its all nice. Save this one for rolling out of bed with its upbeat tempo cause it'll perk up your mood for sure.

Wiz Khalifa - Damn It Feels Good To Be Taylor (official video)

So I love the original for this song by Geto Boys, especially from the scene in Office Space, but this remix by Wiz Khalifa is pretty good. Wiz has been throwing out good music for a while now and deserves the spotlight after Kush & OJ. This song is pretty chill so kick back and listen

Na Palm - What's Yo Name (Soundpusher Radio Mix)

Na Palm brings it with this one. Just straight class all the way through! This song reminds us all of how hard it is to focus after a nightlong party. Enjoy

It's time for the weekly concert update.  I thought I would help all the concert goers out by connecting a link to the ticket office so it makes it easier for everyone to enjoy the music this weekend.  On Friday, Lifehouse is playing at The Chicago Theatre, and Maze is at the Jones Convocation Center at Chicago State.  On Saturday, Black Label Society and Childre is at Congress, Filter is playing at the Cubby Bear.  On Sunday, we got Danzig rocking at Congress and Eddie Money at the House of Blues.

Atmosphere - The Woman with the Tattooed Hands

Atmosphere is writes lyrics like a poet. You have to listen to this song a few times to appreciate its depth, but once you do it opens up the story like no other artist can. Slug is phenomenal and I'm still waiting to see him live because I've heard these concerts are an experience like no other. Really listen to this one.

Mark Joggerst & Ralf Kemper Lexus - The Pursuit of Perfection No. 1

As classical music goes, this is about as good as it gets. Mark Joggerst's composition is so elegant that its impossible to not close your eyes throughout. The melody captures your ears through its simplicity, but at the same time appears to have a deeper level than expected. Enjoy
