For anyone who knew me in the early 90’s, you knew I planned to marry Gavin Rossdale. This wasn’t completely unreasonable, I believed. I, too, was a musician, and smarter than my peers, and who cares if I was only 12 years old and one of millions of girls with the same dream? I was [...]
I’ve been a pretty poor excuse for a music snob lately. I haven’t searched for new artists in ages. I don’t even think I’ve done it this year. I’m just tired of sifting through junk, which is basically how the system works. I used to have much more patience for this.
I just cleaned my iPod [...]
One must have the full spectrum of nerditude to fully appreciate an essential aspect of the culture—video game music.
A game can be decent. But once you add the music, it can become awesome. And if both the game and the music are awesome, well… you now understand how Radiant Dawn is currently my second favorite [...]
For the seventh year running, I have completed another installment in my “soundtrack” series. Basically, it’s a jumble of songs from a particular year that I couldn’t stop listening to. They don’t have to be released that year, I just have to find them.
I slacked off a little this year. And judging by my track [...]
My addiction was inevitable. A show about a bunch of high school outcasts that randomly break into song & dance? I admit, I jumped the Glee bandwagon.
I kind of both love and hate everyone on that show, which is kind of how I went through high school anyway. Well, except for Mr. Schuster; there’s a [...]
I was ridiculously obsessed with Guitar Hero 3 when first received. I must have played three hours daily. Until, of course, I couldn’t beat Slash on hard, and I got frustrated. He still waits for me to this day. My Wii Guitar skills are probably a little rusty, as I haven’t played in a good [...]
When I stepped off the train tonight, the evening was beautiful. It was hazy, yet warm, and I hadn’t felt direct warmth from the sun in some time due to constant rain. I half-listened to the radio in my car, but there was one phrase I picked up on as I waited to depart [...]
There’s a difference between my “favorite” album and those that have “changed my life.” Life-changing albums bring about major transitions, make things a little clearer, completely blow you away. This list was originally going to be a top 10, but I couldn’t think of that many albums that have had such an impact. So I [...]
I like things. But I'm weird about it. I ramble about my addictions. I go on for a week about new RAM, listen to the same album over & over for a solid month, or buy a stack of new books when I have two shelves of literature I haven't yet read.
I have also edited that previous paragraph thrice. And I just used the word "thrice" in standard conversation. Yeah.
