NEW EP From Dion Roy Debuts at #13 on iTunes

The new EP from NYC singer/songwriter Dion Roy, "The Nearest Light", officially debuted yesterday, June 23rd. The icing on the case though was that the EP debuted at #13 on the iTunes singer/songwriter album charts and is still charting a day later.

In celebration of the new EP, a release party was held last night at The Living Room on the lower east side of Manhattan. Dion, along with a full band, took the stage a little after 7pm to play a set for the packed house. Dion's band included, Peter Roessler on guitar, Ed Marshall on bass, and special guest Boots Factor, of Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers, on drums.

Dion engaged the crowd with short anecdotes and the sound was great, the crowd seemed to be having a blast and offered a full applause with hoots and hollers after each song. Dion appeared to be in his element up on stage and word is that he'll be heading out on a full tour this summer.

"The Nearest Light", a follow up to Dion's debut album "Gallery", was produced by Dion Roy and Peter Roessler and mixed by Scott Reibling of Weezer, Cobra Starship and Fallout Boy fame.

Rolling Stone takes a shot at EDM

EDM hasn't been around for as long as Rock n Roll's history and Rolling Stone Italia seems to want it to stay that way   Last week the magazine uploaded a video to its online website that, although seeming satirical, pokes fun at electric dance music.  Rolling Stone claims that that kind of music will die, but guitar solos and rock anthems will not.  The video goes on about how EDM is fake music and that there is nothing like Rock and there will never be anything to beat it so EDM should just stop now.  Rolling Stone focuses on the drug related aspects of EDM and how it almost always is associated with half naked girls, lollipops and neon lights.  The "bad stuff."  But what about the good?  Technology has made some intense advances and now artists can pull sounds from anywhere to make a catchy tune.  Of course there are going to be some duds in a world where music is easy to make, but searching for the gold is worth it.  The video targeting EDM most likely

MTV Times Square studio to close its doors?

For those of you who used to come home everyday after school and turn on the TV to watch “Total Request Live” like I did, today is a sad day. The New York Post reported that MTV and its parent company, Viacom, did not renew the lease on its iconic studio at 1515 Broadway in the heart of Times Square. This means that the glass-walled flagship studio, which was famously known as the stomping grounds of teenyboppers and screaming fans hoping to catch a glimpse celebrities and oh yeah, that guy who hosted the show, Carson Daly, may no longer be in existence come the end of the year. Cue high-pitched wail by tweens everywhere. However, there is still time for MTV and Viacom to make a bid on the space. Should they not renew the lease in the next few weeks, the management company, SL Green, says they will be putting the space on the market and MTV will need to move out by the end of the year. Perhaps the studio doesn’t serve much as much of a purpose as it used to after TRL went off
