Kat and I went to see a free Bloc Party concert in the city last night. Mostly it was super cool. There were some really mean people there, which was frankly sort of odd. But she had an absolute blast, I enjoyed myself, and they were way better live than I expected. In fact, very impressive. This...
On Friday Kid Sister and I went to see Bloc Party @ the Royal Oak Music Theater. It was one of the first shows I've willingly attended in a while. I've been avoiding shows for bands I really like...as I HATE scene kids and can't stand to be anywhere near them, let alone in a confined space for hours...
Officially my favourite festival of all time though I didn't get to see as much of it as I hoped. Def heading there next year. amplifico, uploaded by Cabaret Voltaire. I met Ross, the guitarist for Amplifico at Victoria bus station and took the bus up to Edinburgh to crash at his flat that night. He...
'Killing Time' is one of those songs which almost wrote itself during an inspiring rehearsal of the band. The band was jamming along to a bouncy riff and singer Tom came up with the melody and line: 'I trust you on this case, more than I trust myself today I found the real thing" Which set the tone...
I'm working on this PowerPoint presentation, and it really makes me miss my friends....here's why: Last year my spanish class had all of my friends in it, and I seriously mean EVERYBODY. It was so much fun. We did projects together, passed notes in class and every time someone needed help, we could...
I miss you too. So I've been a crazy busy bee, but it's with good merit. I was hired to be the blog editor over at Mezzanine, a cool venue I've always had good and drunken and sometimes good drunken experiences at (everyone remembers this, right?). I've been neglecting my own poor blog, so I am...
One thing I've noticed lately is a trend towards having indie music in TV ads and TV shows. It makes sense to me... From an indie artist's perspective, they have to support their art SOMEHOW, and at least doing ads and TV shows gets their music to a wider audience. From a TV/ad executive's...
I have to say I love this show. I love that they address real issues and put everything in perspective. I mean, pot use is really a fact of life in America, whether it's illegal or not, and I think because Mary-Louise Parker's character defies the stereotype of a pot smoker it just puts a great spin...
Am I the only one whose favorite storyline was in the very beginning, when Lucas was interested in Nathan's girlfriend (Peyton)? I know it didn't last very long and played itself out pretty quickly but for some reason love triangles in general always really interest me. I was also really into the...

"I didn't eat for three days so I could be lovely for you." Cassie Ainsworth, SKINS That's one of my favorite quotes... I think everyone has probably felt like that a time or two, especially while growing up. Between peer pressure and pressure from family pressure it's hard NOT to feel like that,...
I think one of the most emotional times in anyone's life is the last few years of high school... There's so much pressure and so much effort being put into figuring out who you are. It's also when we're all making all of our mistakes, which has a huge emotional impact. I think for me the worst part...
Britain has always had such a great tradition of acting, and I think you'll have to agree that Nicholas Holt is one of Britain's most promising new talents. He was really moving in "About A Boy" with Hugh Grant... His performance was reviewed better than Hugh's in many cases! Honestly I can't wait...
I don't know about you guys, but I've always felt a little disappointed by American TV. Some of it is good but I've just never been too excited about it. I've always much preferred foreign shows, such as the BBC's programming. The characters are just so much more realistic, or maybe it's just that...
I don't know about you guys, but I've always felt a little disappointed by American TV. Some of it is good but I've just never been too excited about it. I've always much preferred foreign shows, such as Degrassi (from Canada). The characters are just so much more realistic, or maybe it's just that...
I don't know about you guys, but since the last season of Degrassi ended I've been missing it like crazy. Especially Marco, he'll always be my favorite! The things I've heard about Season 8 sound promising but it's going to be awhile before we get it here in the US :( I need something to fill the...
It's hard to believe that it's already August, and odd that I'm attending my second Lollapalooza since moving here. Crazy! Yesterday, after an oddly productive morning at work, I left the office to meet Jess for lunch then headed to meet our friend Josie. She's in town to join in with the...
This mix admittedly wasn't conceived with any sort of theme in mind apart from "songs that sound awesome when it's a grey, rainy day"; I focused instead on making a smoothly transitioning, musically coherent album. Everything here is here because it fits the sound. You'll find that most of these...
