Happy New Year! Or, more realistically, Happy First Day of the Pressure to Completely Change Your Life This Year. There are a million articles out there on the resolutions you should be trying to make—but here at idobi, we think you should abandon them altogether this year. Here’s why.
2014 was a wonderful year for music, but it was also a wonderful year for forgetting that it was 2014. With so many of this year’s releases wearing their nostalgia for musical eras past on their sleeves, it seemed easier than ever to pick up a record that immediately whisked you back to the decade of your choosing despite being less than twelve months old.

Whatever you do, wherever you do it, everything is better when you do it indie style. Join the idobi Anthm rebellion and break your New Year’s resolutions like a plaid wearing, beer swilling champ.
Always a pleasure speaking with my long time friend SOUPY from The Wonder Years. He discusses this Sunday’s Glamour Kills Holiday show at Webster Hall, how this is a celebration of the “scene,” and how lots of bands have made strides to make music that much better for all those involved, as well as discusses details (full band perhaps?) on the upcoming Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties shows he has planned in the next few weeks. And of course, new The Wonder Years talk as well. And the Eagles. Not the band. – Gunz
When you’re trapped in the hellish nightmare of a busy mall in December, it’s not unusual for the tinny sound of Christmas music to make you wish you would get trampled to death by a thousand frantic shoppers just to put an end to your suffering.
