The Swedish artist Tim Bergling more commonly known as Avicii, just became hugely popular in the U.S. The hit song Levels is played on almost every radio station, and for many was the hit dance song of the summer. Although there is much more to Avicii than simply a one- hit wonder, he has produced many other tracks and remixes that are just as good.
Check out “Penguin”, it’s even better if you think about penguins while listening.
OR “Fade into the Darkness”

YAWN, no they are not boring at all, they are the exact opposite. YAWN is a wonderful combination of both rock and electronic music genres. Yawn is touring with the kooks right now, and was most recently at First Avenue. They are hard to find on youtube, but they are available on iTunes.

Welcome back to YouTube Rebecca Black. Nice try, but “Person of Interest” isn’t any better than “Friday”. I understand that Rebecca met a boy, but I really don’t think getting the authorities involved was necessary. Black just needs to give it a rest, and comprehend the fact that the only reason “Friday” was actually popular was because people made fun of it.

Worst song of the week goes to “Swagger Jagger”. According to X- Factor winner Cher Lloyd from London, we all need to get our own swagger jagger. Whatever that means. I really do not think I have heard a worse song in my life, well it might be tied with some of Justin Bieber’s hits. Check out “Swagger Jagger” which, reminds me slightly of “Friday”, but this time a real artist, record producing artist.
