  • Back of The Billboards: 'The Best of Joe Cocker: 20th Century Masters The Millennium Collection'

We hope to give a fighting chance to the bands you haven't heard of.

  • Armin van Buuren Leaves Pier 94 In A Trance [Review]

    The week between Christmas and New Years Day is one of the biggest party weeks of the year. Most people are off of work, or those who do have to work, things are pretty relaxed and expectations aren't as high for productivity. In that type of environment, Pacha and RPM Presents have been throwing parties all week at the club and on Pier 94 and Pier 36 in New York City with the likes of Armin van Buuren, Kaskade, Disclosure and Martin Garrix all coming to town. Last night saw trance titan, Armin van Buuren, known to fans as the god of trance, in part because of his stature within the genre and because his birthday is on Dec. 25, take the stage at Pier 94 with A State Of Trance regulars Andrew Rayel, Mark Sixma and Jochen Miller.
  • Music Times 10 Best Albums of 2014; St. Vincent, The War on Drugs, Jack White & More...Who Takes No. 1?

    Glares were exchanged. Words were said that can't be taken back. Punches weren't quite thrown, although two Music Times editors (that won't be named) did engage in a karate chop battle reminiscent of the Clark Griswold vs. Plastic Lawn Reindeer battle of '91. When all was said and done however, the staff had managed to narrow a list of 943 albums down to a mere 10. Old standards like Jack White and Beck proved that their status within the music community was intact, and newer, much buzzed about acts including Sturgill Simpson proved themselves worthy of consideration during the previous 12 months.

    "So you find it's a chess game, but instead in this chess the board is made of water that's just flowing and all the chess pieces are smoke. You can make all the moves you want, they will not affect the outcome of the game," Jerry Seinfeld says at the top of the short new Wale track "The Chess Match." Yes, you read that right: Jerry Seinfeld. In the first sampling from the upcoming Wale project Festivus, the legendary comedian steps into the studio with the rapper to kick things off.
