I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard Arctic Monkeys. It was 2004 and I was deployed to Kuwait.

I have been a fan of Vampire Weekend from the very beginning. I instantly fell in love with the cheerful melodies, playful keyboards, and Ezra’s perfect falsetto.

When I first saw Christone “Kingfish” Ingram listed as the opener for Vampire Weekend at Merriweather on August 29th, I have to admit that I was unaware of who this musician was. A friend told me that he was a “must see” and “the next big thing”. Therefore, I made […]
