Bruno Mars - “Grenade” (Live Snippet, Bowery Ballroom, NYC) on wednesday night, Bruno Mars blessed a packed Bowery Ballroom with a sneak preview of some of the goodness that he and atlantic records will be dropping on october 5th, and i was fortunate enough to be there. seeing him live only confirmed his talent and my belief that this guy is about to be a big deal. he produces, he...

Nike + FADER: Pitch Perfect →
football and music: two essential ingredients for life. once upon a time, music without borders was going to put something like this together - a musical guide to the World Cup, if you will. for many reasons that never happened, but fortunately, Nike + FADER were onto something similar. listen, download and read more after the jump.
