Movin On’ 2013 was great. Consequentially, your legs are sore. You slept in. Great! However, this morning (or afternoon), the realization inevitably dawned on you: finals are here. Great. Now, you’re off to research. We feel your pain.

The intense studying does not have to be accompanied by silence. Instead, here are 8 great playlists from 8tracks.com to get your mind going!

Good luck and godspeed, from SITR.

Very excited, indeed.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are one week away from Movin’ On. One. Week. Away.

Now, there’s plenty of reasons to be excited for the end-of-year free music festival. But we are especially excited for Brand New. If the concert they will give next has half of the ambiance, half of the crowd excitement, or half of anything in this video–taken from their performance at the Electric Factory two years ago– we’re looking forward to an unforgettable act.

One week, ladies and gentlemen. One week. Stay strong!

Sometimes, “beautiful cinematography” simply doesn’t cut it. Sometimes, a music video transcends being mere visual aid to aural art. Sometimes, a music video can make you simply go “wow.”

Well, wow.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are back with another killer vid, and here it is. It’s for the single “Can’t Hold Us,” off the LP The Heist, which you’re already well familiar with. Nothing more needs to be said. It’s all eye candy from here on out. Check it out below!

UPDATE 8:49: Mack Maine is saying that the story is false, and that Lil Wayne will be releasing a statement soon:

Say what you will about the infamous rapper, but if sources are to be believed, he probably is on his deathbed.

Reports are coming in from Cedars-Sinai Hospital that the hip-hop superstar and self-proclaimed “Best Rapper Alive” has had his stomach pumped not once, not twice, but three times. This to get high amounts of codeine out of his system.

If sources are accurate, he is “unstable,” apparently “shaking uncontrollably” from seizures and breathing through tubes.
