After two music-filled days in the sun, Governors Ball Music Festival continued on for Day Three on Sunday (June 8). Temperatures were rising, but so was the enthusiasm from the crowd, who didn't let soaring temperatures and a beating, cruel sun dissuade them from getting down to some of music's biggest festival acts. -
Grammys 2014: Best Alternative Album, Who Will Win Vs. Who Should Win [POLL]
Music Times assesses who should win and will win the Grammy for Best Alternative Album. -
For Better or Worse, Village Voice's Pazz+Jop Rank the Top Albums and Singles of 2013 [POLL]
While many argue the merits of the long-suffering publication as well as the results therein--hey, the lot of us feel the same way about the Grammys--the Voice's P+J issue (conceived of by disgraced music editor, Bob Xgau) is about as consensus as we're likely to get these days. -
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. -
Carolyn Menyes' 2013 Playlist: Bear's Den, Lady Gaga, Janelle Monae and More
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. -
Nicole Oran's 2013 Playlist: Jay Z, Daft Punk and Savages
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 necessarily 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. -
Vampire Weekend and Kanye West Vie for Rolling Stone's Album of The Year Title
It just must be the time of the year for announcing one's albums of the year, as Rolling Stone has also released its list of the best 50 for 2013 (Music Times will publish its list December 21). SPIN also published its own list of best records this week, as we reported yesterday. Considering the number of albums released during the year, there was a decent amount shared, relatively, within the Top 5 of both publications. -
SPIN Releases Annual List of Best Albums...What Rapper Won?
SPIN Magazine, one of our most trusted sources for music across many genres, has released its annual list of the best 50 albums of the year. Yes, it's a bit early (not going to give Britney Spears a fair shot guys?), but we're sure they're just trying to beat the holiday rush (you'll be able to check out Music Times' albums of the year list on December 23, and our staffers' respective playlists of the year on December 16). The top album is something you've definitely heard of, but may still come as a surprise. -
Robin Thicke 'Blurred Lines,' Vampire Weekend Cover [LISTEN]: 'Diane Young' Band Makes Indie Version of 2013 Summer Hit
Robin Thicke's song "Blurred Lines" is easily one of the best hits of this summer and Vampire Weekend's "Diane Young" also falls under that category. So when Vampire Weekend decided to cover "Blurred Lines," it made complete sense!
