• What we learned from Lorde's Reddit AMA

    Lorde took part in her first-ever Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session yesterday. The hour-long back and forth between Lorde and her fans covered topics including what type of shampoo she uses, her plans for future music videos and her unique dancing style. After combing through endless comments and questions, we came up with a list of the most interesting things we learned from Lorde's AMA.

  • Chvrches covered British boy band East 17 on BBC's Radio 1 Live Lounge

    Scottish electro-pop band Chvches made a stop at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge yesterday in support of its debut album The Bones of What You Believe, and they decided to mix things up a bit. Instead of just playing a few of their recent hits like "The Mother We Share," The trio made an unexpected choice to cover British boy band East 17's 1994 single "Stay Another Day."

  • 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

  • Wale threatens Complex editor over failure to include 'The Gifted' in Best of 2013 List

    A few rappers have seen their works popping up on an awful lot of best-of year-end lists this month. Among them: Kanye West, Chance The Rapper, Eminem, Run The Jewels, Pusha T. Not included in that list is Wale, whose The Gifted got a range of both good and bad reviews, but certainly didn't merit universal acclaim. Still, the emcee was less than pleased to learn that his LP couldn't even make Complex magazine's 50 Best Albums of 2013 list.
