App Review | Ohm

The iPhone 4 Music app in my opinion is great, its easy to use, clean, and overall gets the job done. However, like everything else in technology, there is always a way to improve or add new features. In comes the recently released Ohm app, the first project from Ohm Labs. This is a dope app to use in combination with the Music app and is mad useful for on-the-go listening. Ohm uses quick and easy controls including swipe to change songs, double tap screen to start or stop music, and one tap playlist creation. But the best feature is the ability for you to easily create a queue of any songs in any order from your music library. Instead of having to constantly re open your Music app to change the song to a different artist or album you can simply create a queue of songs to fit your mood for that moment. In addition, Ohm allows you to import, adjust, and create playlists very quickly and can be added straight to your streaming queue. If that isnt easy enough, Ohm features a one tap Tweet button that auto generates a custom “now playing” tweet for your quick sharing pleasure. We are looking forward to the Ohm Labs updates for this app which will hopefully feature a portrait function, video queuing, and other sharing abilities.

@Beastie Boys Bid Farewell to MCA

Adam Yauch, who helped make hip-hop a worldwide cultural force as one-third of the influential @Beastie Boys, has died after battling cancer. He was 47. The band’s publicist said in a statement that Yauch died in his native New York on Friday morning. Yauch, also a film director who co-founded the distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories and an organizer of several charitable concerts, including the Tibetan Freedom Concerts, was first diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his left salivary gland in 2009. Rest in peace. CLICK THE PIC for one of my favorite Beastie songs.

John #Coltrane - A Love Supreme

John Coltrane recorded A Love Supreme in December of 1964 and released it the following year. He presented it as a spiritual declaration that his musical devotion was now intertwined with his faith in God. In many ways, the album mirrors Coltrane’s spiritual quest that grew out of his personal troubles, including a long struggle with drug and alcohol addiction.

From the opening gong and tenor saxophone flutter, a four-note bass line builds under the sound. This simple riff becomes the musical framework for the rich improvisations that comprise John Coltrane’s 33-minute musical journey. CLICK THE PIC for the full NPR story.

@50Cent is this weeks most added artist

@50 Cent ‘s banger “I Just Wanna” featuring @TonyYayo is the most added song on radio this week. Not a surprise given the fact that the D.R.U.G.S. produced song is so catchy.  It’s off the Big 10 mixtape.  If you do have it yet, you’re sleepin’!  The total beats out new songs from the likes of Rihanna, B.o.B., Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown and Frank Ocean.
