Have you heard this new B-52’s single? It’s really good! They’ve been playing it on Indie 103 a lot lately and I am not complaining. But I do have a sweet spot for this band. When I was maybe 7 or 8, my dance recital performance was to “Roam”. Now without fail, every time […]

Who has missed them some Gnarls? I know I sure have. The boys that brought us the 2006 summer anthem are at it again. Of course they have an insurmountable task ahead. Topping that first album is going to be near impossible. This new track doesn’t completely let down, but it doesn’t shatter records either. […]

Yes, that’s right. Miss Konichiwa Bitches Robyn. I don’t think I even need to tell you how awesome this is. But I’ll try. First off, the remix of the song is amazing. Perfect for your club or bedroom dance party. Then the hook is even better with Robyn (sorry, Snoop). Finally, throw in all the […]

It’s getting rarer these days that a concert moves me more than it entertains. On Thursday, I saw Ingrid Michaelson at the Troubadour. She was incredibly charming and had an amazing voice. It reminded me why I got into the music industry in the first place. She was pure talent, untarnished by label intentions or […]

In the poignant words of Ms. Nelly Furtado, “Someone needs to rap off the top”.
Better yet, the whole thing. This song is just begging for someone to add some rhymes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s lovely on its own. Very swirly and light. The video fits perfectly with aDRIanne singing and dancing the night away. […]

I recently discovered this band who makes perfectly pleasant pop music Nothing that’s going to rock the boat too hard, but definitely worthy of being a soundtrack to your Sunday house cleaning routine! If cleaning’s not your thing, you might want to see them in the flesh - they’re playing a whole lot […]

Now we have something new and shiny to look at other than the rarely seen and never annoying “1, 2, 3, 4″ video. Yay! It looks to me like the idea for this video came straight from Leslie Feist’s brain… when she was 7. “One day I’m going to be a rock star! And I’m […]

This song has taken a while to grow on me. People heralded it as one of the greatest new songs in a while and I just didn’t see that. It’s a good song, but something to swoon over? I’m still not 100% sold, but I am really liking it so I thought I’d share…

One thing’s […]

… Music Ramen is having some technical issues. It should be back to it’s ramen-y self very soon now Thanks for your patience!

Going to Berklee School of Music means you have friends in high places. Damn I should have gone there. Well, luckily Chris did. And luckily he was friends with this group. And luckily he sent it to me. Because now I am in love with their smooth sounds. They’re gentle yet they’re not musical Ambien. […]
