The 44th American Music Awards was held on November 20, 2016 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Ariana Grande performs with Nicki Minaj at the 2016 American Music Awards. The two vocalists tore up the stage with their steamy track 'Side to Side' live from the AMAs. Watch the performance of The Chainsmokers featuring Halsey below. During my first viewing of the song I got board with the voice over work in comparison to their live vocals from the VMAs. Even though the VMA performance with live vocals was received with mixed reactions, it was still more engaging to

An Introspective Glance at Startup Culture on Small Business Saturday

By |November 26th, 2016|Categories: Economy, Featured, National News, Politics, United States, YouTube|Tags: , , , , , |

Small Business Saturday follows the madness from Black Friday each year by inviting consumers away from the big box stores, and down to Main Street to help spur and drive the local economy. Yesterday was also Record Store Day Black Friday, which is an annual event that provides local, independent record stores with limited released vinyl to bring in shoppers. This initiative creates a large buzz for indie record stores. What Small Business Saturday is missing from their annual event is driving force that will draw in crowds. The element that Record Store Day has benefited from is the communication

The Standing Rock Native American Reservation has Become the Epicenter of the Environment

The Army Corps of Engineers sent a letter on Friday to the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe explaining that the violent confrontations have taken place, and they are shutting down the campgrounds, (area north of the Cannonball River, including the Oceti Sakowin camp). After December 5, protestors will be cited and charged with trespassing if still on the land. The trespassing citation is just a way for government to try and clear some of the land for the oil companies to dig under the Missouri River. According to standingrock.org, the website notes that: 'The tribe maintains jurisdiction on all reservation

Record Store Day Black Friday provides new music on vinyl records to independent record stores around the United States. Each April Record Store Day works with musicians and indie record stores to connect fans with limited released material. This has grown in such popularity that they have added a second day on Black Friday to give the opportunity of releasing limited music a second day in the year. In my area within Southern Illinois, we are kind of spoiled with indie record stores in comparison to large cities that may have fewer, and larger populations. The ability to be
