Welcome to the Kaleidiscope blog, discussing music past and present. The blog is an attempt to promote discourse about music between generations.
In our blogs we will review new music, do deep dives into classic pop songs, among many other things. If you want to stay up-to-date with the best new releases, the latest controversies and occasionally take a trip down memory lane, then this blog is for you!

This blog post shouts out some of the best covers to have graced us over the years, from The Beatles to Elvis Costello.
