Off Notes: For Lovers and Haters Alike

Happy Friday!

This weekend has something for everyone! For the lovers out there, Happy Valentines Day! To the not-so-in-love, Happy Presidents’ Day! To the bitter and twisted, Happy Friday the 13th! And welcome to another Off Notes weekly round-up of the best the musical internet has to offer. I’ve decided to dedicate this week’s post to the lovers and haters of the weekend’s most divisive holiday, V-Day. So read on for the most beloved and reviled things we’ve found on the internet this week!

 

What we’ve fallen in love and hate with on the Internet this week:

  • Here are five reasons to love music even more. [Lifehack]
  • And to get your weekend started off on the right note—I have no memory of this amazing 2006 Gnarls Barkley x Star Wars mashup at the MTV Music Awards, and yet somehow I’m instantly nostalgic for this simpler, whackier time. [Youtube]

Off Notes: What Happened in Music This Week

Welcome to our weekly recap of the best of the musical internet. Summer is an awesome time for music. While the rest of the entertainment industry takes sun-drenched breaks, the northern hemisphere (sorry, chilly Chile) is abuzz with all kinds of outdoor shows and festivals. This week we saw more of Lenny Kravitz than we expected, a lovely show of […]
