8123 Is Way More Than A Number

Ever since my first concert, I was hooked.

8123 Is Way More Than A Number

“Eighty One Twenty Three’s goal is to develop an artist’s career while working in harmony helping the client see their vision through to the end. This is made possible through hard work on both the business side and fan side. Recognizing that the fans are a driving force in the industry, Eighty One Twenty Three and their clients have developed numerous ways to utilize and connect to the fanbases. At the end of the day, Eighty One Twenty Three, their clients, and fans are one big family.” 8123 was started by The Maine.

Everyone always asks me why I go to so many concerts. Well, music has been a huge part of my life since I was in the seventh grade. It is my happy place. This is when I discovered my favorite band and started going to concerts (thanks to my mom). She would stand in the back while I was in the crowd.

Ever since my first concert, I was hooked. It lets me escape my problems for a few hours and everything is good. I have a group of friends who I primarily go to concert with, two of who are my sisters.

We all have a favorite band called The Maine. The last concert we went to of theirs was in September. We drove all the way to Niagara Falls but it was way worth it. The Maine went on a “Free For All Tour.” They didn’t charge their fans a single dollar to come out and enjoy the night. I can’t think of another band who would do this and that's just another reason why I enjoy them so much.

I can’t explain the feeling I get when I see them live. It is different every time but better each time. I have seen them over 20 times and it will never get old to me.

Last October, I went to Chicago for my birthday and saw them at The Bottom Lounge. This was probably the best concert I had ever been to. The tour was called “Farewell Forever Halloween” promoting their new album "Forever Halloween." My sister painted our faces with skulls just like the cover of their album.

Their music is like nothing else to me. I love all types of music and I go to many concerts but nothing is quite as great as The Maine to me. I hope they continue to make music and tour for as long as they can.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
