CL on the Road Concert Review: Orlando Calling, Day 1 at the Citrus Bowl, Orlando

Any number of great support acts like The Roots, Pixies, or The Raconteurs would've made stronger headliners than The Killers, but Orlando Calling did a lot of other things right.

CD review: Kid Cudi, Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager

• by Amber Mcdonald
While Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager is not the creative stage-dive into commercial success of its predecessor, I don’t think it was intended to be. Instead, it is a subtle, drifting decent down the rabbit hole of Kid Cudi’s creative consciousness. In a time where blending musical genres is the essence of new music, Kid Cudi does so impeccably on MOTMII and proves Scott Mescudi is onto some generation next sonics within the hip-hop genre.
