• Grammys 2016 Best Country Song Nominees, Who Should/Will Win: 'Girl Crush' vs. 'Traveller'

    In a year that was once again ruled by bro country ("Kick the Dust Up," anyone?), the five nominees at the 2016 Grammys for Best Country Song take back the genre and return it to its earnest roots. From the heartbreaking vulnerability of Brandy Clark's "Hold My Hand" and Little Big Town's "Girl Crush" to the personal journey of Chris Stapleton's "Traveller" and the loving desire in "Diamond Rings and Old Barstools" and "Chances Are," there's really no way to go wrong.

  • Music Times' Top 10 Albums of 2013

    As with any other group conversation between the writers of Music Times, the debate between what albums to include on the site's Top 10 of the year was less than professional. There was crying (Ryan Book), yelling (Nicole Oran), and even threats of violence (Caitlin Carter). Ultimately, after countless votes and demands for recounts, ten finalists were chosen. Check out the albums that we kept in the stereo throughout 2013, along with defenses from the staff writers that loved the most.

  • Ryan Book's Playlist of 2013: Lorde, Kanye, and Kvelertak

    Music Times, like so many other music publications, was looking to publish a "Best of 2013" playlist. We met to discuss what such a playlist should include, and that's where we ran into trouble. We couldn't agree. Sometimes two of us just couldn't agree on whether the performer was amazing or terrible, and even when we agreed they were amazing, we couldn't agree on what track was most representative of their work. Hence it was decided that rather than try to agree (a seemingly impossible endeavor), everyone would get their own "favorites of 2013" playlist. We won't argue that these are neccesarily the best tracks of the last year, but they're definitely songs that caught our respective attention and caused us to hit 'repeat" over and over and over again
