New Music ★ SONG OF THE WEEK ★ Indie Rock ★ THE LUMINEERS
Song of the Week “Stubborn Love” by The Lumineers is Life of a Rock Star's new favorite hit. Sitting at No. 18 on Billboard's Rock Charts this toe-tapping song is headed nowhere but up. The lyrics, “it’s better to feel pain than nothing at all” are an excellent example of the band's ability to use music to draw an audience with truth. The Lumineers successfully walk the line between keeping their folk rock sound edgy and unique with lyrics that appeal to the masses. Read More...

Life of a Rock Star™ presents “Letter to Adam Levine With Love From Your Biggest Fan”
Inspired by @AdamLevine ’s tweet:
Chances are if you begin a sentence with, "I'm not a stalker, but..." you are most likely a stalker.
— Adam Levine (@adamlevine) July 29, 2012
Dear Adam,
Oh Love, my friends tell me that I’m on the obsessed fan stalker side, but I’m not like breaking any guitars and Nobody’s Perfect. Just because I’ve sworn that I will love you Til My Last Day there is no reason for the FBI to be Shinin’ On Me.
My Heart Skips a Beat when It’s Time for you to hit the stage--I never miss a show. I was so happy when I snuck back stage and Finally Found You. (BTW Calling in the 5-1-5-0 SO unnecessary...) I was only naked because I thought we’d find some Swimming Pools (Drank). Read More...
Train "Drive By" Song of the Week

September 6, 2012
Train “Drive By”
It’s so up beat this song tricks you into thinking that all one night stands have a happy ending. (Wait! They don’t?) Very pop punk and comical in its lyrical style, Train released “Drive By” in January of this year. Every time the lyrics, “There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you - And a little time to get my head together too,” are sung out the cleverness of this song strikes. It’s always a welcome play on the radio or iPod playlist and has listeners bopping and singing along, “Oh I swear to you!” Read More...
