Today’s 4:20 Break is courtesy of Mishka, a Hawaiian based reggae pop star who was born Bermuda and raised in the Caribbean.

We’re going a little country on 16 Clefs this week. Today, we’re giving you a review of Austin Webb’s Radio Sampler. I was able to see Austin perform for a radio station a few weeks ago and his personality is definitely the “life of the party.” The 6 song sampler came on a nifty credit card size card that had a USB card that flipped … Continue reading REVIEW: Austin Webb Sampler

Everyone could use an afternoon break from the demands of work and take a moment to chill so we’re happy to introduce to everyone the 4:20 Break. A song/video that sends us to the white sandy beaches of a tropical island or to our favorite bar where the drinks come in coconuts with tiny umbrellas and plastic swords filled with fruit. To kick off our … Continue reading 4:20 BREAK: “Could You Be Love”

One half of the creative duo Saint Hughs posted a visual video for their track “Crazier” over the weekend. “For me, it was an exploration in video art and narrative. My use of the word narrative may sound odd once you have watched it, as there is little narrative to it. However, to sustain interest in the clip, I was able to add a small … Continue reading VIDEO: “Crazier” by Saint Hughs
Editors released their video for their new single “Sugar” this week. It’s an interesting video for the song. Not what I personally imagined it would be, but somehow works with the song. You can purchase the single on March 24th or pre-order it on on iTunes. “Sugar” is from their fourth studio album “The Weight Of Your Love” that is now available on iTunes. The video was directed … Continue reading VIDEO: “Sugar” by Editors
I didn’t know anything about Real Estate when I started listening to their new album Atlas (released March 03, 2014 on Domino Records) but the name of the band and the name of album intrigued me and I hoped that it would at least be a record that was up my alley. And I was relieved that it was. Atlas is light and airy with hints of … Continue reading REVIEW: Atlas by Real Estate
For the first Throw Back Thursday, we didn’t go too far back, but we did go spoof because it’s Thursday and we needed a laugh. Here is the absolutely funny and entertaining Miss Willam Belli with Detox and Vicky Vox doing a spoof of “Blurred Lines” and giving some love to Amanda Bynes.
