Love her or hate her she's my musical guilty pleasure and is taking the world by storm. Ke$ha released her music video for her song Take It Off which you can view above. I persoanlly like the song more than the video, probably because the video isn't nearly as good as the visual roller coaster of "Your Love is My Drug" but I have a feeling it will grow on me. Enjoy.
Starting Thursday August 26th our humble city of Baltimore will be buzzing with the sounds of 140 bands in over 10 venues downtown. The Baltimore independent Music and Arts Festival is a three day event showcasing tons of independent bands and musicians from the Baltimore/DC area. The tickets all range in price but they are all low and manageable for any music lover able to attend. There is also an all access pass option for $49. That's less than what you have to pay to see Paramore on the Honda Civic Tour.

Known for releasing tracks early (sometimes to his labels displeasure) Christofer Drew has uploaded a new song to his official Myspace page that will be on his new album releasing the 24th of this month. The song, "I Love You More Than You Will Ever Know" is a short and sweet song, which keeps the trend of Drew's sweet nature. Keep your eyes on Christofer's Myspace and Twitter page in the next few weeks, I'm almost positive more songs will be released as time goes on.
