The first time I heard “It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” was admittedly a bit unorthodox for a Dylan epic — it played during the final episode of the Sopranos. Adolescent Anthony was coming of age and finally beginning to mature, and the track played as he and his love interest were in his car.
According to Naledge, Land of Make Believe has two sides to it. The first is an exploration of the illusions that come with the music industry; the second is celebration.

Not to sound like your mom or anything, but summer is fast approaching. And, if you’re anything like us, you’ve decided to forgo the OCR path in hopes of something better.
When I was in ninth grade, one of my friends told me that she heard Billy Corgan was an asshole.
I responded angrily and cued up “Rocket” on my clunky iPod.
It’s about time we all started believing in ghosts. In the posthumous release of Valleys of Neptune, the phantom of Jimi Hendrix has entered the airwaves to show that forty years on, he still deserves one of the highest thrones in the pantheon of rock deities.

K-Os has always been one of those artists on the brink of success. Maybe it’s his Canadian heritage that’s holding him back; his smooth hip-hop has swiftly flown under the musical radar for nearly all of his 17-year career.
