Oh no, don’t cry! It’s okay if you missed what happened this week at Knox Road! I promise! I mean, honestly, even Jamie was on vacation! Here, delicately wrapped, is the week in review.

I used to think that all punk rock would sound like NOFX and every band before 1980 was Led… Continue reading The ability to reinvent yourself.
Julian Velard covers Katy Perry’s “Hot N Cold”
YES! New Yorker Julian Velard is finally making a name for himself, and rightfully so. I’ve been following him for several years now, as he is a friend of a friend (thanks Moshe).

Lost Season 5 Music Video: The Fray – “You Found Me”
Not exactly a video I’d expect from Lost considering they’ve used popular music like once on the show (Damien Rice’s Cannonball in the first season), but nevertheless this should get you excited whether you’re watching the premiere RIGHT NOW or are going to watch soon. I don’t feel like providing the mp3 because you can… Continue reading Lost Season 5 Music Video: The Fray – “You Found Me”
