We like it when The 1975 covers songs for they make them so beautiful (and are probably aware of it).
Here’s to a less irritating 2016—this year, we got together all of our least favorite pop culture icons and begged them to please, please give us a break this year. They dominated in 2015, and we deserve some time off, or at least some serious attitude changes, dammit.
Until a music video is released, a song is open to the theatrics of your mind. If you’re anything like us, all your favorite songs have a storyboard of your own creation to go along with them—that is, until the official video is released. It’ll wipe away your mental picture, and if they’ve done it right, you’ll be happy to let it go. The following nineteen videos accomplished just that, as told by the idobi staff.
In the past few years, there’s been a pleasant influx of YA novels that feature alternative music junkies just like us.
The Alternative Press Music Awards is making its second annual appearance this year in Cleveland on July 22nd. Because I grew up in Cleveland, I had the privilege of watching many of this year’s APMAs nominees perform live early on in their careers. Some of these bands have been a part of my life since I was 13, while others are a bit newer to me. When I think about all of the journeys I’ve taken with them as people, and to see them perform live–just in this city alone–I can’t help but feel a sense of pride about where… Read more »
“Hit Like A Girl” Premiered This Week I’m in love with this idea. The “Hit Like A Girl” contest is meant to inspire female drummers who work their asses off and continue to banish certain ideals about girls in bands, and it’s an all around awesome cause. In our scene, we obviously all know the lovely Jess Bowen as our go-to female drummer. She’s majorly involved with this project, and in the new mini-documentary they released you get to see her involvement with an amazing cause and contest. Oh, and in case you needed another push to watch, Beyonce’s drummer,… Read more »
The Selfie Sticks Have Been Banned From More Music Festivities A couple of months ago I told you about a venue in the U.K. banning selfie sticks. Well, it just got better. Both Coachella and Lollapalooza have now also banned the death sticks that people use to take selfies with (side note: I totally wasn’t using one at the Grand Canyon last weekend or anything…) Anyway, this is a VERY good thing. Music festivals often involve an abundance of of alcohol, crazy people, and unmentionables with medical cards that validate their “back problems”. We don’t need to add metal poles… Read more »
An Attack On Titan Movie Teaser Was Released and I’m Dead If you’re an anime lover like me, this probably has you in a giant tizzy—I am so excited about this movie. (Granted I haven’t finished the series yet because I never have time to breathe anymore, but I’m working on it.) Attack On Titan itself has become a cult-classic turned mainstream anime phenomenon that I’ve been working on for two years. But it’s the most heart-wrenching, tear-inducing, make a grown man cry openly without embarrassment anime you will ever see–it’s so worth taking a peek at the live… Read more »
