July 01, 2010

B00003xaus The World Forgot — So it’s a Friday, and the World Cup is in full swing, and if you’re like me that means you really don’t care about much else (let alone writing a new post for your little blog).  And even though I’m more than thrilled to watch the US v Ghana game... read more »

Florence and The Machine cover Beirut

June 14, 2010
Default_artist_40px The World Forgot — Florence and The Machine have always pulled at my ears due to the copious amount of quality remixes their songs produce.  Although, for whatever reason, I haven’t really found myself listening much to their original work.  That might all change i... read more »

B.o.B. and Rivers Cuomo find Magic

June 10, 2010
The World Forgot — In certain situations math can be a tricky subject.  In this case it’s rather straightforward.  B.o.B. + Rivers Cuomo = Outkast.  Ok, that might be an oversimplification.  It might be more B.o.B. + Rivers Cuomo = Andre 3000 + Weezer.  Yeah, that ... read more »

Josh Ritter album So Runs The World Away

Cloud Cult new song Running With The Wolves

May 13, 2010

May 03, 2010
B0000c8aoy The World Forgot — I’ve been listening to an advance copy of The National’s upcoming album High Violet and let me first say, before digressing into a boring diatribe, that it is a masterpiece.  Quite simply it is brilliant and will feature prominently in almost al... read more »
