The Longest Song Ever is Even Longer Than you Think

By

The longest song ever is even longer than you think. In fact, it is still being played today. The song, which is entitled "Organ2/ASLSP,", began playing in 2001 and will finish playing in 2640. The song's length will total 639 years if the instrument survives that long. The song has become somewhat of a tourist attraction where many people show up to the small town every time the chord changes which happens seldom. So seldom, in fact, that the second to last chord change was on October 5, 2013 and the most recent chord change was on September 5, 2020. The next chord change will take place February 5, 2022.


The song is being performed by an organ which can theoretically play a song forever because an organ pushes air out of tubes to play specific notes. Instead of the keys being played by a person they are played by sandbags which weigh them down to be played. The instrument is located in a church in the small German town of Halberstadt. The piece was composed by John Cage, who passed away before the song even started playing.

Is Rock Dead?

By
Image
The line "Is Rock Dead?" is one that has been repeated over and over since early 2010. Dumb articles use it to get outraged rock fans to click and read further. But everyone has noticed hip hop's take over of the charts. The current Hot 100 charts have The Weekend's "Blinding Lights" (R&B) at number 1 then Drake's "Toosie Slide" (Hip-Hop) at number 2 followed by Roddy Rich's "The Box"  (Hip-Hop)  at number 3. While the top 3 is a pretty exclusive club, there isn't a song considered rock by Billboard charting until #23 which is "Level Of Concern" by Twenty One Pilots. While rock no longer dominates the charts, does that mean it's dead? Of course not. A genre doesn't have to be charting and performing at the highest level for it to be alive. Alternative and indie music by definition is not well performing on the charts but it's not a dead genre by any means. There are many new indie and alternati...

The Importance of the Intro Track

By
Image
Previously, albums were purchased and then listened to.  Listeners' first impressions of the album came after they had already dropped their $10 for a brand new record.  The only deciding factors when purchasing were the album cover and whether or not you liked their previous work. Things have, however, rapidly changed in the streaming age of the early 2010s-present. Nowadays, music consumption has changed due to the rapid rise in streaming. Listeners have access to every album new or present. The streaming catalog also includes a wider variety of music due to its ease of access for even independent artists without record label backing. This means that the competition for your ears is greater than ever. While the stakes may be lower due to lower revenue, the artists are as passionate as ever to break out into the mainstream.  This makes the intro track as important as ever. The first impression the listener will get when listening to your new album is that firs...

How DaBaby's Homophobic Comments Will Likely Affect His Career

By
Image
DaBaby was recently criticized after his homophobic rant at Rolling Loud in Miami where he essentially praised those who didn't participate in homosexual acts. As you would expect in today's day and age, people across the internet immediately began to attempt to cancel him. Since the rant, DaBaby has been removed from numerous music festivals that he was slated to perform at including Lollapalooza, Parklife, iHeartRadio Festival, and more. In total, it is estimated that DaBaby has lost well over a million dollars as a direct result from this rant. A week after the rant and after lots of public backlash, DaBaby issued an apology on Instagram. However, this apology was short lived as it was removed just 6 days later. Many people on the internet are now calling his apology bogus and virtue signaling and are accusing DaBaby of genuinely being homophobic. His newest posts on Instagram are all filled with support from fans saying he can't get cancelled and there is plenty of homo...

Donda: Kanye's Forthcoming 10th Studio Album

By
Image
Many people may know Donda as Kanye West's expected forthcoming album for which he has held two listening parties, had two different album covers and given multiple release dates but in typical Kanye fashion hasn't had an actual release. Many people also may know Donda as Kanye's late mother. Some may recognize it as the company Kanye started in 2012 that promised to "pick up where Steve Jobs left off" and made short films and music videos until 2016. The point is Kanye has used his mother's name for various projects and she has clearly inspired much of his work and has affected him greatly evidenced by the creation of 808s and Heartbreak shortly after she died. Donda was officially announced as Kanye's forthcoming album on July 18, 2020 and the public was told it would release July 24. Anyone who has followed Kanye for even a short period of time would not be surprised when the album didn't come out on that date. Many interviews and tweets from source...

Protests Over Police Brutality Have Had a Major Impact on Music Right Now

By

Many anti-establishment and anti-police songs have reemerged into a lot of people's minds and playlists in the past week. "Fuck tha Police" by N.W.A was a major hit in the late 1980s and was the soundtrack to many protests and riots following the excessive force from the police against those of color. The song is still very much relevant today. Following the recent cold-blooded murder of George Floyd, the United States has been lit on fire with protests and riots in every major city in the country. This has led to the song's resurgence in popularity. As evidenced by Last.fm Scrobble Stats, the song began to explode in popularity only one day after George Floyd's death. Other songs such as "Don't Shoot" by The Game, and "This is America" by Childish Gambino have had a similar effect. The latter of the two has even been quoted on many protest signs around the nation. The protests are still ongoing and many people's hope is that change and...

Drake Announces "Scary Hours" out this Friday at Midnight!

By
Image
Drake, who has been inactive in the music game since releasing Dark Lane Demo Tapes in May of 2020, came back to Instagram to announce the release of what is assumed to be an EP. Drake posted the picture on Instagram which was simply captioned, "FRIDAY MIDNIGHT 💀". This is not the first time we have seen cover art rocking "Scary Hours" text from Drake. Many may recall back in 2018 when Drake released Scary Hours which was an EP but with only two songs it can also be considered just two individual singles. Last time, that EP came out after a mixtape, More Life, and was followed by an album, Scorpion. Many fans are speculating that Dark Lane Demo Tapes was the mixtape, now he is releasing the EP meaning the album is on the way soon thereafter. This has many Drake fans who were angry about Drake postponing the album due to a knee injury very excited.

Drake - Scary Hours 2 (EP) As promised, Drake released Scary Hours 2 which was received well by fans. The EP contained 3 songs, one had no features, the other featured Lil Baby, and the final one featured Rick Ross. The first song, "What's Next" has extreme hit potential due to how catchy it is. The second song mentions Kanye West and he alludes to having had sexual relations with Kim Kardashian. This is not the first time he's mentioned it and many fans are claiming Kanye lives rent free in Drake's head. Denzel Curry - Unlocked 1.5 (Remix Album) Denzel Curry is back with a remix album for his collaborative album with Kenny Beats, Unlocked. This album, although it hasn't quite reached the commercial success of TA13OO, has been some of the most creative work he's done yet. Not only does the music push his boundaries but the music videos and all the YouTube content he's been posting as part of the lore of the album has been top tier. Other Notable Releas...

Notable Friday Releases 5/1/20: Drake, Car Seat Headrest, HA:TFELT & More!

Drake - Dark Lane Demo Tapes (Mixtape) Drake, the biggest artist of the last decade, has released his first full-length project in this new decade. Do not be confused, however, this is not an album and is not his followup to Scorpion (2018). This is instead best described by Drake himself, " put together alot of the songs people have been asking for (some leaks and some joints from SoundCloud and some new vibes)". In other words, it's more or less another Care Package  (2019), this time with different leaks and some new songs. This mixtape also features his chart-topping single, "Toosie Slide". He confirmed in an Instagram post that his forthcoming album will indeed be releasing this Summer. Car Seat Headrest - Making a Door Less Open (Album) Car Seat Headrest's new studio album is not a huge departure from their usual sound. The album sounds very similar to one of their older albums,  How to Leave Town (2014). While it does take strides into p...
