I can’t speak for all women in the world, but I personally grow weak at the sound of a man with a raspy singing voice. I’m not sure what it is, but there’s something so sexy about raspy, gravelly singing; something entirely primitive calls me…
I don’t know why, but I’m really fond of Irish music and musicians. It could be me subconsciously trying to get in touch with my 1/8th Irish side, or perhaps its due to the fact that two of my best friends and their family (whom have…
I’ve gushed about Declan O’Rourke before, but now I have a whole ‘nother album review to do so. O’Rourke is a singer-songwriting from Dublin, Ireland, and I fell in love with his music a few years ago, after one of my best friends studied abroad…

It was about a year ago that I first starting listening to MGMT (pronounced as it’s written, though the band was once named The Management). A friend of mine recommended them to me, and I bought their second studio album, Oracular Spectacular.
