To say Macklemore is an up and coming artist is almost a discredit to his decade long career, and yet, it’s really the best way to describe him.

In the spirit of Lady Gaga‘s upcoming tour, I was inspired to write a little bit about the superstar and her unique fanbase. The fans of Lady Gaga and other similar artists (Madonna, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, and Rihanna – to name a few) are incredibly diverse, so it’s kind of hard to pinpoint just one … Read more
You thought you got rid of them in the early 00’s, but you can’t escape them. In the past year alone, the Jonas Brothers have announced a reunion, 98 Degrees are working on new material, and supergroup NKOTBSB continue to perform. Not only that, but new boybands like The Wanted and One Direction (speaking of, check … Read more
Shane Doan, Phoenix captain and winger decides to stay with the Coyotes for the 4th straight year, despite considerably better offers from other teams.
