Mac Miller Releases Mitch Hedberg Tribute Track “MHB”

May 23rd, 2013 James Shotwell

Pennsylvania native Mac Miller has released a new song through his alter ego Larry Fisherman paying homage to beloved stand up comic Mitch Hedberg.

Debuting on SoundCloud shortly after 11AM (EST) today, May 23, “MHB” is another odd offering from Miller’s softer side. Miller plays the piano, backed with nothing else and never uttering a single line, while audio clips from the life of Mitch Hedberg play on top of everything. It’s surreal at first, but as your brain begins to understand what it’s hearing you start to appreciate what is taking place. This is not as much a song …

With his loss still fresh in the mind of the band and music fans around the world, news that Kris Kross member, Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly, passed last night has touched on a wound that had only just begun to heal.

Machine Gun Kelly Honors Eminem In Detroit

April 25th, 2013 James Shotwell

Cleveland bred rapper, Machine Gun Kelly, has a long legacy of incorporating the artists who inspired him into his live set. On Warped Tour 2012 he could be found adding the likes of Blink-182, Limp Bizkit, and more into his routine, and fans ATE IT UP. Seriously, covers have always been cool, but I’m not sure anyone could have guess how successful hip hop covers would be (especially in a live setting).

Recently, Machine Gun Kelly took his current US tour through St. Andrew’s Hall in Detroit, MI. Prior to the show, MGK met with fans on the stoop of …

Last night, Frusciante gave us a new instrumental that was a tribute to his newly passed away friend, Wayne Forman. His post reads

“This song was recorded for my friend Wayne Forman, the coolest, kindest friend anybody could ever …

March 9th, 2012 James Shotwell

The Cure To Growing Older Featured Image

EDITORIAL: The Cure to Growing Older – A Musical Retrospective

February 28th, 2012 Jacob Tender

When I was in the 6th grade, things were far simpler than they are now. These things were undemanding in most respects, but growing more socially complicated by the day. Middle school was that time in my life when girls became attractive, attitudes changed, friends changed, and growing up truly began. I recognize the growth that began in junior high as a part of who I am. In conjunction with my social growth, came my newfound hunger for music.

 

I found the cure to growing older and you’re the only place that feels like home…

 

In my youth, …
