Go on a Journey with Mark and the Tiger.

 

Emerging rock artist, Mark and the Tiger, is here with his brand new single, ‘The La La Song’. This is the first single in a long line of upcoming releases from Mark and the Tiger. It is the third song off of the upcoming album- a concept piece based on the mono-myth paradigm developed by Joseph Campbell. When you listen to it start to finish, the album takes you on the hero’s journey. This song is the part of the journey where the hero is introduced to the deity or mentor type figure that helps them on their quest. Through his thoughtful and masterfully crafted music, Mark and the Tiger is inspiring audiences around the world.

Originally from Maine, Mark has lived in Los Angeles for the past 10 years and has spent that time discovering who he is as an artist and what that means for his music. His debut EP “Little Adventures” is a showcase of that journey. Each song representing a different piece of the puzzle and another layer to what will ultimately become Mark and the Tiger. His upcoming album, “The Hero’s Journey”, was recorded at Revolver Studio in Los Angeles with the Grammy Award nominated producer, Mikal Blue, and is set to arrive in 2022. It is the amalgamation of all his past work. A musical trip through Mark’s own Hero’s Journey.

With equal parts Folk music, Pop, and Rock & Roll, Mark’s music is a celebration of storytelling. This is a world that encourages its listeners to open up about their experiences: hardships and triumphs. Through his music, Mark opens up about his own experiences as a human being trying to understand themselves and their place in the world.

You can find the brand new song here, and keep up with his new work through his website!

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream

Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.

The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.

The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.

Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.

Ronan Furlong finds renewal in the sea with latest release “Splitting The Ash”

Ronan Furlong

“Splitting The Ash” opens with a distinctly Celtic riff before Ronan Furlong moves into an energetic song influenced by ideas of healing, rebirth, and spiritual renewal. The title and subject of the song are based on an ancient Irish ritual in which an ash tree is split open, giving the song a strong link to tradition, while its message is firmly rooted in the present: finding strength, renewal, and inspiration when life puts barriers in your way.

The sea is central to the track’s feeling, a symbol of challenge and regeneration. Furlong links his power to the resilience that can develop from exceeding physical boundaries. The song’s backstory lends that notion further weight, penned during a swim in the Irish Sea in January. The music’s context of creation gives it a particularly direct relationship with endurance and the willingness to push beyond discomfort.

“Splitting The Ash” ultimately feels life-affirming but never loses sight of struggle. The Celtic opening of the song gives an immediate sense of place, while its focus on renewal keeps the message open and universal. Ronan Furlong uses an old image of healing to remind us that difficult experiences can also be a source of strength, inspiration, and a renewed connection to life.
