As Matt pointed out, when you purchase Sufjan Steven’s box set, Songs for Christmas, you get a few additional goodies. One of the extras is a 23 panel Tom Eaton comic strip titled, It Was the Worst Christmas Ever. Under the title Eaton has drawn a malicious-looking fairy,...

The brilliance of the images that Sam Beam (aka Iron &Wine) creates is found in the subtly. It isn't exactly easy to create images that reflect pure joy or pure tragedy, but it might be even more difficult to create images that reflect the ambiguity that encompasses most...

| Title | Window in the Skies |
| Artist | U2 |
What does love do? Better yet, what does love "do" to us? Recently, the majority of U2's attention does not revolve around their music, but rather as a result of their relentless participation in social causes. Bono's celebrity label has practically shifted from "lead singer" to Africa's biggest fan, advocate,...

There are a select few musicians that possess a undeniably unique sound. Each decade has owned a few as a handful come to mind: Elvis, Aretha Franklin, John Lennon, John Fogerty, Steven Tyler, Steve Perry, Eddie Vedder, Bono, and maybe even Chris Martin these days. Though...

Today is Halloween, which means a few obvious things. What is often overlooked is that Halloween is actually (in most places) an "eve" celebration. In the Catholic tradition, November 1st is known as "All Saints Day" or "All Hallows Day" making October 31st "All Hallows Eve"....

The lyrics of this song are beautiful on their own, but when they are paired with what seem to be people responding to their beauty, they are even more powerful.
It makes me ask, what is behind the tears? Are they moved by the sincerity of...

One of the pioneers of the emo-rock genre, it is probably fair to call Jeremy Engik (melo)dramatic. His 2006 album World Waits is a huge, sweeping sound that can only be described as drama in instrumental form. With rumors of Sunny Day Real Estate once again getting the band back...

If you happened to catch a U2 show during their last tour (Vertigo), you were likely introduced to the experimental sounds of Arcade Fire - perhaps unbeknowngst to you. Prior to their entrance, U2 made a decision to prep their audiences with an amped version of "Mr. Bright Side"...

I'm moving to the suburbs of Chicago in less than a month. If you've never been there, the suburbs are nice. The towns are nice, the restaurants are nice, the people are nice, the cars are nice, the lawns are nice, and if the suburbs were...
