My Morning Jacket

My Morning Jacket is a band I heard about through one of my favorite TV shows, American Dad. This band was featured on one episode and I liked the music so much I had to look them up to see if they were in fact a real band. They came out doing country music in the late 90's, and has since then expanded their horizons. Possibly ahead of their time with some of their tracks, in my opinion, there is no way you can not be at peace listening to some of their songs.  Here's one that I can never listen to just once, it's called "Wordless Chorus", enjoy.

If you've liked what you heard, check out more of their music and possibly even a show of theirs.  And if you're in good ol' Michigan, they actually have a show coming up August 14, at Meadow Brook in Rochester Hills.

Calvin Harris

For all my true music lovers out there, the ones that don't listen to just one genre of music, the ones that will give an open ear to new releases even if you don't think you will like it, I bring to you the awesomeness that is Calvin Harris. My good friend introduced Calvin Harris to me about a month back through his Pandora station....and I've been hooked since. If you have a Pandora account, I strongly suggest you add his station. He is a Scottish artist and producer who has the ability to make magic...the type of magic that makes you want to blast it, dance to it, tap your fingers, and nod your head to his amazing electronic music.  As you may know, Pandora doesn't just play songs by him, but he also does remixes and if you like what you hear from him, I guarantee you'll like just about all of the other music that is played on the station. With two albums under his belt and two hits on the radio, this guy is making moves and deserves the recognition.


...And for my fellow Jets out there, thank me later.

Laugh on The Regular

As many people get older, they stop watching cartoons...something that once had the ability to make just about every single person in this world laugh. But just because you're older doesn't mean you have to stop enjoying cartoons. And if you put a little effort into it, you don't even have to watch cartoons that are sort of-kind of funny but obviously for a 10 year old (99% of cartoons on TV nowadays). And since you already put some type of effort into getting the 25 Below website up on your screen...and reading this...I'm going to show you an episode of Regular Show. This is one cartoon I make sure I watch just about every time it's on. Regular Show focuses on the lives of Mordecai and Rigby as they try to get through their work day at the park and avoid any troubles with their coworkers and boss. It's hilarious, interesting, and most of all makes absolutely no sense (in the best way possible). The jokes are always there, and although my 4 year old nephew has his laughs, there is plenty of adult humor wrapped into them. New episodes appear on Mondays at 8, only on Cartoon Network.

Back last year I made the post about my homie TreVar Javrael. Now he is performing here in our own back yard. This man has been on a mission since day 1, and continues to get recognition for his work. Putting out a countless number or tracks & projects (I don't know how he does it) he is only growing as an artist. So check out the performance at The Rittz in Warren Michigan.

The Epidemic

Pill has recently left MMG after getting 0 recognition from the group. This may have been a smart move. Pill released his new anticipated mixtape entitled "The Epidemic". After a listen through, this is a very solid mixtape, the only thing missing was his phenomenal wordplay. Maybe next time. Anyways check out the new tape right here at 25below.
