Anne T Donahue
An escapee of a small suburban hockey town, Anne has gone on to write for AUX, CHARTattack, NME and BITE, and can also be seen writing the occasional fashion piece. (She's still unsure how the last one happened.) Thanks to her family, she became a music snob quite young, and continues to blame her uncle's jukebox for a lifetime spent over-romanticizing past decades.

Mad Men Facebook
After what feels like an eternity, Mad Men is finally coming back to cable. To celebrate, we used Sunday's season six premiere as an excuse to re-watch last season, over-analyze it for potential upcoming spoilers and listen to the soundtrack several times. Clearly, due to awesomeness, this led to us losing our minds.

These days it's not enough for musicians to simply make music.
If you're Jay-Z you buy an ownership stake in a basketball team, if you're Sleater-Kinney's Carrie Brownstein you make a television show like Portlandia, but if you're a rocker just looking to be shown the money there's one way to go -- advertising.

There are more than a few musicians who had a plan B. Or more specifically, there are more than a few musicians who abandoned bona fide careers for a chance in the limelight. (And vice versa.)
That's why we went on a research binge. We wanted to know if Rick Ross wasn't the only person who's lived a double life, or ...

It's been a great year for music.
But what's been even greater is how musicians have been paying tribute to each other's work, as well as creating their own.
Yes, we listeners scored some great original music, but there's something to be said for artists like Feist, Destroyer, and Bruce Springsteen interpreting someone ...
