Top 5 Albums of 2017, sorta.


It's been a long time since we posted, almost 4 years in fact. We had to start the list off with Rag'n'Bone man, well because he just rules. I was sitting in my apt on 34th street (yes I know, right near the annoying tourist trap of the Empire State building) , and this video came on Youtube randomly while I was watching other cat videos probably and the entire vibe just caught my attention- I knew 'Human' was going to rule and people were going to catch on. The next time this guy comes into town for a show or maybe performing at some Z100 private show, or at some swanky NYC SoHo Loft Event , I gotta get myself there!  What did you guys think of the list below?  there were a few others that definitely caught my eye, Coldplay's new record, and a bunch of local Delancey St. lower east side bands that wouldn't be relevant to the majority of you guys, but this is a good start and if I had to limit it to just 5, these are the ones I would choose.

Thanks to billboard for the images.

BUT, Here is a short list of our top 5 albums of 2017!


Rag'n'Bone Man, 'Human'





Residente, 'Residente'





Spoon, 'Hot Thoughts'




Migos, 'Culture'

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
