Two years ago I made a playlist in honor of Valentine's Day when I was writing on my personal blog. I actually enjoy making playlists because it pulls music from different genres and brings them to a totally different level. It's actually a pretty good playlist, which you can check out below: This year for Valentine's Day, I got the sudden urge to make a playlist again. Partly due to finding Jenny Lewis's Valentine's Day playlist, which can be found here. I really had a lot of fun with this one and pulled some older songs as well as some (more)

Here at 40oz, we hear so many things when it comes to upcoming albums that are going to be released. With week 2 under our belt, here is a list of albums I am looking forward to potentially being released this year. Artist: David Bowie Album: The Next Day Release Date: March 2013 This week marked the announcement of Bowie stating he is going to release this first album in a decade. For an artist who has so much talent in just one pinky, this fan gladly welcomes it. Artist: The Knife Album: Shaking the Habitual Release Date: April 9 (more)
So it’s that time of year again where we tell you what we listen to and compile our favorites. I have to say (like I said last year) this list is hard to compile, and I barely just got it in. I was talking about it a little bit with The Doc about it and it is probably due to our standards being so high as we dive more and more into this. A lot of good music has been released this year, and from what I have been reading about in terms of next year, a lot more great (more)
Looks like another decent year on the island in October. Mind you this is one of the few festivals where you have the opportunity to see every single band on the lineup perform. Personally I’m seriously contemplating Sunday.
Each year, this list is getting harder and harder for me to put together. I'm not sure if it's just really good music being put out there, or if it’s me being exposed to more artists, or a combination of the two. Either way this list was carefully selected by a list of so many artists who put out amazing records. The albums below are my favorite so far, and I'm already dreading the list for the end of the year. It's definitely going to be a doozy. 1. Jack White – Blunderbuss For as much as this album (more)

Last Friday sucked. There really is no way around it. As soon as I heard the news, I couldn’t believe it. Adam Yauch, one of the founders of hip hop had passed on. I was in more disbelief because I was still under the impression that his cancer was very treatable. I didn’t think we were going to lose him so quickly. For me, the Beastie Boys were a band I grew up with. I remember hearing songs like “Brass Monkey,” and “No Sleep til Brooklyn,” and completely loving everything about them. I have a strong tie to “Intergalactic,” (more)
