At this point in time, the only thing on your mind is 5:00. The three day weekend is almost upon us and we can’t wait to fire up the grill and crack open one of those new Bourbon County Coffee Stouts or, well, anything else on this list. The only... continue...

Until now, we’ve based every Mixtape around a specific theme. Those individual moments and events all benefit from having soundtracks, but every so often we just want to hear some quality tunes. Here are our current go-to jams for waking up in the... continue...
When we heard the news that Adam “MCA” Yauch from the Beastie Boys died we couldn’t help but put on some of our favorite tracks in honor of his memory. He will be remembered, not only as an influential hip-hop artist, but as a humanitarian... continue...
Spotify has single-handedly changed the way we digest music. We love Grooveshark because the annoying IT guy won’t let us install anything on our computers, and it’s great for making Mixtapes, but it won’t work on our iDevices. With... continue...
In case you haven’t seen the video of Holographic Tupac yet, Coachella 2012 is kind of a big deal. We can’t all make it out to the middle of nowhere and sleep in a tent three days, but thankfully we have the technology to share some of our... continue...
There’s a reason “April showers bring May flowers.” It’s because the weather sucks in April. A leisurely stroll without an umbrella might be out of the question, but you don’t have to call the day a total waste. You can throw... continue...
The Music portion of SXSW (we’re not even going to pretend like you don’t know what that acronym means) is as close to Mecca as you can get if you’re a lover of all things indie and undiscovered. For 25 years running it’s been the leading festival... continue...

The days of gigantic pieces of audio equipment stacked in your home are long gone. So are the days of tangled cables running throughout your home as well. In fact, the whole idea of your audio delivery system being tied to your home went out the window... continue...
Finally putting that gym membership to good use for the first month of the year isn’t always the easiest thing to do. You have to put in the time doing the actual work at the gym, but you also have to deal with the evil looks and snide comments... continue...
We’re sold on the Amethyst X-1 iPod/iPhone Docking System for looks alone. Just look at it. It looks like the gorgeous love child of a Ferrari and a space plane. But that’s not what makes the Amethyst X-1 really stand out among the sea of iPod docks... continue...
New Year’s Eve has a lot of things going for it. Everyone parties. You’re all but guaranteed to at least hit a single by the end of the evening. People seriously consider using the gym membership they’ve neglected for the past six months.... continue...
We love the holidays. Giving gifts, getting gifts and getting smashed with Gramma so she can tell the same stories over and over always brings a smile to our faces. We’re even ok almost having a heart attack in January when the credit card bills start... continue...
Slow jams are great for golf clap buildups and dances at weddings and proms, but they’re not all that helpful if you’re under the gun for a deadline. Whether it’s getting a final piece into a show, that report into your bosses inbox... continue...
