Back From South By Southwest (SXSW)
So I went for SXSW mainly for the interactive and film portions, but I stuck around for music. When the festival and conference switched from interactive to music (film spans the entire time), the city exploded. All the bands showed up with their entourages and fans and it was ridiculous. Even without a badge, there [...]

So which music festivals am I going to this year?
I’m addicted to live music…it’s incredible being in the crowd while someone is displaying their talents. Something that can’t be replicated, duplicated, or pirated. To me, it’s really what the music is about – the feel of the energy of the performer, the experience.
A couple summers ago I hit a bunch of European festivals…those guys [...]

Hypnotize yourself on the Plastic Beach
This is a track off of the Gorillaz new album “Plastic Beach” called “Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach” featuring Snoop Dogg and the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. Listen closely to the beat…the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is a cool group of guys out of Chicago that I saw in Rotterdam, Netherlands at the largest indoor jazz festival in the world, the North Sea Jazz Festival. Almost all of the members are brothers who were taught how to play their instruments by their father…I’ll include a featurette about them after the track. Funny enough, I also saw Snoop Dogg at the same music festival so when I saw they were together on this track I knew it would be hot and happy the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble got connected…I always thought they’d start popping up on more tracks, we’ll see how they do.

Lazy Sunday with The Roots
Lazy Sunday was viral. I’m a huge Lonely Island fan, they do great stuff. Here is Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell performing Lazy Sunday for the first time live on Jimmy Fallon’s late night show backed by the best band in late night (now that Max Weinberg and Conan are off the air =/) The Roots doing a medley of classic old school hip hop, it’s pretty awesome, check it out

THE KING IS BACK
The highly anticipated first track from T.I. since he got out from prison is finally here. It’s his reaction to whats been happening since he’s been gone and it goes hard. HARD. Atlanta rap has almost fell off the map in the grand scheme of things. People talking about trappin and dealin without knowing what [...]

Bootie’s Top 10 For March
Bootie is arguably the best mashup party in the world. Each month they post their top 10 mashup tracks and never fail to deliver some amazing remixes.
Here are my favorites this month:
DJ BC – Could You Be Love Gamed? (Bob Marley vs. Lady Gaga)
ABX of The Hood Internet – Ignition (Keep It Remixing Louder) (R. [...]

Did you know Travis McCoy was a beast?
The lead singer from Gym Class Heroes is going out on his own. Travis McCoy has teamed up with T-Pain and Nappy Boy. His lyrics are off the charts, you really have to listen to every word. He’s unlike the rest of the bunch by far. Don’t take this as if I’m comparing him to Drake, but he’s like what Drake is to Young Money…the one with ridiculous talent that doesn’t belong with the rest of the group. Check out these 2 tracks from the Nappy Boy Allstars mixtape which you can get from Nappy Boy Online. I’ve embedded the full mixtape at the end too.

Welcome to onLoop
Welcome to onLoop! My name is Matthew Fong and I’m going to be your musical tour guide. I listen to a lot of music from many different genres and am addicted to live music…primarily music festivals. I love discovering new songs, mixes, and talent. And then I love to share it 
People keep asking me what I’m currently listening to and to keep them up to date on music so I decided to make a little music blog so I can just broadcast it to the world.
I’ll mainly be posting the songs that I can’t keep out of my head, the song I keep listening to over and over again, or have onLoop, get it ?
As I develop and flush out features of the site, I’ll be joined by a couple of my friends whose music tastes I trust cause I wanna hear stuff I wouldn’t normally run into too. If you want to contribute or link up blogs, let me know! E-mail me at blog@onLoop.net.
