Why Muse's Undisclosed Desires is an Underrated Love Song
Muse has undoubtedly made an impact on the music world in the past two decades. They showed us how far someone can take obsession can go with Hysteria. Time Is Running Out became the anthem of escaping the confinement of any situation or relationship.

This is NOT Bruce Springsteen
Introduction That is of course not true, this is a Bruce Springsteen playlist and we know how many great songs he has written but these are performances of songs that he has NOT written and was prompted by me accidentally coming across his live cover of Frank Wilson’s “Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)” which, in my opinion, outdoes the original, and that is one of my favourite records ever. It appears on his soul covers album “Only The Strong Survive” released this year, and though my playlist opens with that song I thought it would be good to dig up some of his other covers for you to enjoy.

Polymath Actor, Recording Artist, and Filmmaker Amir Royale Releases His ‘Stories of the Lost, Rich & Tormented’ EP
From Amir Royale Sophomore year, NYU Tisch’s Clive Davis Institute, 2017. I created the concept of Stories of the Lost, Rich & Tormented as a "Writing the Hit Song: Deep Cutz" homework assignment. Over the course of 14 weeks, I crafted and reworked about 12 or so ideas. Suddenly, my songwriting professor at the time (Eren Cannata of Cove City Sound Studios, Facethouse Records & Warner Chapel Music), directed us to use all the content we created thus far to formulate an EP. This project would then become one we’d pitch and present to potential A&R scouts. It was our final project. I curated 5 of my best records across the class to showcase a conceptual narrative and description of greed, lust, and youth insecurity within American culture. It is the final entry within my four-EP-long music chronicle (dating back to my 2015 EP, This Is for You.). To let this project go free finally—feels like a blessing. Thank you.

Family - A Strange Band But One Of Leicester’s Finest
Introduction My first exposure to Family was seeing them perform “In My Own Time” on Top of the Pops and was struck by the absolutely manic look and voice of their lead singer Roger Chapman. Their sound isn’t straight rock or progressive though the songs have reasonably standard formats with elements of folk and dissonance in there.

The Five Best Music Podcasts Of 2022
Why are so many terrific music podcasts available to tickle the inner ear of listeners? A major reason is that each music genre is the master of its own domain. Hip-hop, jazz, pop, country, easy listening and more all construct their own universe around the music. Clothes, culture, language, and morality spring forth from the notes on sheet music. Therefore, each genre can offer listeners its curated music and interviews with artists in that genre via a podcast.

Oh No It's Michael Bublé
Introduction and Background You may think this is because I don’t appreciate Michael Bublé but you would be wrong. Last week I was in the Talbot Arms in Settle and they were playing a Michael Bublé Christmas album and every song sounded like it had had all the life sucked out of it by a lounge jazz vampire, and that lounge jazz vampire’s name is Michael Bublé.

Chances Are Your Favorite Christmas Songs Were Written By Jewish People. Top Story - December 2022.
For most Christmas lovers, you'd think that the popular Christmas songs they've come to love were created by others who loved the holiday. Right? Well, it might come as a surprise, but most of the Christmas songs we've come to love and celebrate with every year were not written by Christians... they were written by Jews.
