Hip Hop Hooray (Leah)

Happy first weekend of ACL Fest everyone! Hope you’re enjoying the place you’re staying while your AirBnB guests enjoy your house! Here’s some tunes to listen to in your car or with headphones so you...

Pretenders

The Pretenders have had a busy week.  They not only did they announce a stop in Austin, but they let slip a new video.  Personally, I think the latter is kind of useless, as it’s...

Show Of The Week
