Steel Pulse and SOJA Performing Live

Steel Pulse and SOJA performing live at the House of Blues at Myrtle Beach on April 19, 2012!

      For the reggae lovers, this is a performance you won't want to miss! Steel Pulse is one of Britain's best West Indian reggae bands, whose music consists of authentic roots reggae music, jazz, and latin flavor. They have also added a touch of dancehall and hip-hop to their music over the years while maintaining their authentic sound and Rastafarian vision. This band has been around since the 1970s and is known for high energy performances, elaborate costumes, and dance.

      SOJA, a fairly new and emerging reggae group compared to the 30+ year career of Steel Pulse, are raising the bar with the release of their fourth album entitled Strength to Survive. This album was greatly inspired by Bob Marley's album, Survival. SOJA has sold over 150,000 albums in the last couple of years and have performed in over 15 different countries around the world.

      "I could go on and on about the horrible damage we've done to the earth or the problems that arise when countries compete for money over an imaginary border, but the album has one central theme," says lead singer of SOJA, Jacob Hemphill, "and that's our hope for the world to be one family."

This will be a feel good concert filled with  melodies calling for unity, faith, and love. 

I'll be there! To join me purchase tickets at LiveNation.com

Pandora Radio is an Awesome way to enjoy and listen to the music of your choice on the internet!

Just think? When was the last time you fell in love with a new song or artist?
At  Pandora their mission is to play only music you'll love. To understand just how they do this, and why you'll need to know about the Music Genome Project.

Together their team of musician-analysts has been listening to music, one song at a time, studying and collection literally hundreds of musical details on every track-melody, harmony, instrumentation, rhythm, vocals, lyrics and more! They continue this work every day to keep up with the incredible flow of great new music coming from studios, stadiums and garages around the country.

With Pandora you can explore this vast trove of music to your heart's content. Just drop the name of one of your favorite songs,artists or genres into Pandora and let the Music Genome Project go. It will quickly scan its entire obscure - to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice. Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs.

You can create up to 100 unique "stations." And you can even refine them. If it's not quite right you can tell it so and it will be sure to get things right for you.

The Music Genome Project was founded by musicians and music-lovers
The name Pandora means "all gifted" in Greek. In ancient Greek mythology, Pandora received many gifts from the gods, including the gift of music, from Apollo. She was also, as we all know, very curious. Unlike those gods of old, however, Pandora celebrates that virtue and have made it their mission to reward the musically curious among us with a never-ending experience of music discovery

Enjoy the experience!

Day Glow: Life in Color 2012

      On March 3, 2012 I went to see, Day Glow: Life in Color, in Knoxville, Tennessee. When my boyfriend told me he bought tickets I had never heard of Day Glow and I had never had an urge to throw neon colored paint on strangers. I can now say that I have experienced both. 
      Day Glow headlines as the "world's largest paint party". The show started at 8pm and lasted until about 1am. Throughout the night five different DJ's took the stage along with elaborate performers and an awesome light show. This concert is for fans of techno, house, dubstep, and all electric dance music. Day Glow is a concert that brings all different types of college students together to dance and have a great time. 
      First, you have to get your crew together. Next, find an all white outfit. Last, prepare to be soaked with paint. The paint doesn't start flying until about 11:00pm. It starts with just a few drops, but the next thing you know, people are shooting paint out of cannons, and something with the likeness of a transformer is spraying the crowd green with a giant gun. Don't worry, it washes off quite easily in the shower.

      If you pay for VIP tickets then you will get in first and receive a free t-shirt, sunglasses, CD, Day Glow necklace, a drawstring bag, and a complimentary bottle of paint to throw on anyone you choose (definitely the best perk). The only bad part about VIP is that if you snag a front row spot, but then at some point have to use the restroom, it's nearly impossible to reclaim your place.

The Day Glow: Life in Color 2012 tour will be coming to Atlanta, Georgia on March 31 and tickets are still available! Its definitely worth a road trip. The tour will also make another stop through the south during Spring Break in Panama City, Florida and in Cancun, Mexico.

      Day Glow this year was definitely a one of a kind experience for me. However, this is a show that cannot be summed up in words. Check out the promo video below!

No Music left behind

I was thinking earlier today that, I really don't have a certain type of music that I listen too. I listen to rap, country, christian, metal, and oldies rock. The only thing I don't listen to is southern gospel, I just can't get into it.
the random radio stations = 98.1
                                            93.7
                                            94.1
                                            100.5
                                            101.1

Songs stuck in my head the past week..

New songs of the week for alternative / dub-step:

Tonight We Are Young- FUN ft. Janelle Monae

Review: The beat to this song stays in your head constantly throughout the day when you hear it in the morning. The beat is persistent and up-beat. The sound of Nate Reuss' voice just calms you and makes you want to sing along. His voice is so clear and even more endearing when the piano kicks in. The chorus really gets you going the way they hold the notes for so long and yell it out. The version featuring Janelle Monae brings an even more youthful and jubilant feel to the song, her voice combined with Nate Reuss' is fantastic. This song could absolutely be the song of the year!

Cinema- Benny Benassi & Skrillex ft. Gary Go

Review:  In this song, Skrillex really makes it pop out with the beats, as along with Benny Benassi's wonderful voice. The beats make you want to dance and go crazy. The lyrics to this song were constantly stuck in my head since the first day I heard it. If you are a gamer, when playing MW3 or Black Ops, this is definitely a good song to listen to while playing. It gets your heart pumping and your creative juices flowing!
