http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimateears/feeds/news.php en-us Sat, 13 Mar 2010 05:08:00 -0800 This month I can’t help thinking about what it means to be a pop star. How does that come about really – and how does one find oneself going from relative obscurity to being an international sensation. Is that the inevitable goal or trajectory of all musicians?http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimateears/buzz/news_detail.php?id=54Ultimate EarsThis month we feature music from the experimental sounds of Jihae along with the beautiful melodies of Blind Pilot.
