Do you remember what it was like the first time you went on Facebook, or checked out Amazon.com (true, it was a LONG time ago!)? I remember feeling like I was looking at the future on the computer screen in front of me –that these sites were awesome and new and could change life as we know it. Bing recently launched a new experience – bing.com/new - that completely changes the way we...

This is going to be an unconventional Stuck in My Head post because it will be one of the last ones of the year. I thus wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for keeping up with my music reccs and music ADD--as I hopped around different genres and styles.
The next song I want to share and talk about is one that will remind you that summer is almost here. I know, Mother Nature...

Katy Perry...what can I even say? She became an overnight sensation with a song about kissing girls and now is one of our generation's most successful musical talents. From her humble beginnings and debatable one-hit-wonderness, Perry has now joined a very exclusive, two member-only club. She and the late Michael Jackson are the only two artists to have charted five number one singles from...

Keane, is back ladies and gents! They will be realeasing their full-length album, "Strangeland" on May 7th since their last one, Perfect Symmetry back in 2008. This is definitely something to look forward to. Who remembers crying to "Somewhere Only We Know?" and then jamming out "Is It Any Wonder." Well, if you are not part of the group shaking your head, I...

We all need a little Indie loving every now and again. It's true--house music can make us feel like we're on top of the world, regardless of whether or not "we've met Molly"--nice joke there Madge!
However, there is nothing like a happy indie song to get our morning started on a cheerful note. Grouplove's "Tongue Tied" is exactly that kind of song....

I think it’s safe to say we are all coming down from a Spring Break high. For those that partied it up in Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Miami, or any of the other hot destinations, the transition back to the books, Butler and the Upper West Side in general may not be such an easy one. Regardless of whether you dipped your feet into those warm waters, the end ofis a hard thing to cope with. So,...

Ben Kweller, child music prodigy and somewhat of a music-cult figure, is back at it again at 30 years old. His fifth album in his own name, Go Fly a Kite was released last month and is already making waves.
While one of the tracks on his new album, "Mean to Me" was a bit too intense and angry, I found one really terrific one,"Full Circle" which I have been playing on...

Sometimes, we let go of good, or really good things. Song after song (think Katie Perry), romantic comedy after romantic comedy, we hear about this very elusive character: "the one that got away."
As Valentine's Day approaches, this truism may especially resonate with you. If your lousy/emotionally-confused guy said arrivederci to you recently, then you are most definitely...
