Well, this was a disappointment. Guess I understand why critics have thrashed The Fray in the past. Next up is St. Vincent, and then ne...

Let me take you back a few years. See, back in the mid-2000s the Billboard Hot 100 charts were in a very weird place. Southern crunk was...

Well, that was a lot better than I expected. That's always pleasant to see. Okay, next up will be The Fray's newest album, beca...

So I'm going to tell you all something I'm not fond of admitting: from about mid-2008 to 2011, I didn't listen to a huge amoun...

Well, this turned out better than expected.  Next up should be Dierks Bentley, so stay tuned!
