If there’s one thing I consistently endorse, it’s the power of a music festival. You get the best bang for your buck by having the opportunity to see dozens of artists all for the price of one weekend pass…and you get the chance to find your next favorite artist. At their core, music festivals are

There’s a number of reasons why an artist might choose to work under a pseudonym. For one thing, it’s a relatively simple way to avoid contractual or legal conflicts, as well as drama between competing record labels. Elton John, for example, used the pseudonym Rockaday Johnnie for his contributions to one of Jackson Browne‘s songs,

Throughout many of his rhymes, Eminem has made it abundantly clear that he absolutely adores his daughter, Hailie Jade.
