PMA’s 2045th Post… or something

INTERESTING READS:
Idolator’s resident Hot 100 chart guru Chris Molanphy goes into incredible detail of why he suspects today’s major record labels are trying to bury the digital single.

Urban Outfitters wants you to DOWNLOAD their AMAZING Mix

So Urban Outfitters is really one of the coolest stores to ever exist, right? Yeah, totally. I was there the other day (@ this one!) and one of the cute sales people there named Sara just handed me a VitaminWater to “cool me down” while I shop. It was like 100+ degrees that day so [...]

Santogold Covers Adele on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge

Jeez Louise, does Miss Santi White (aka Santogold) know how to make the blogs go abuzzin’ or what? As if the hype surrounding her debut wasn’t enough, Santogold’s music has been featured in numerous commercials, including the ambitious Converse song “My Drive Thru.”
And just a few days ago, she dropped a KILLER mixtape with the [...]
