Broken Dreams and Chicken & Waffles

–Advertisement–SXSW 2012 pt. II I’m sorry. I meant to have more of these “articles” written throughout the week regaling all of my loyal readers with fantastical tales of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but I was busy. And I promise I was busy doing band things and not just indulging. To be completely honest… Continue Reading Broken Dreams and Chicken & Waffles

SXSW 2012 Pt. 1: Rocking The Saddest Block Party of All Time

–Advertisement– Editor’s Note: Because we decided to wear our responsible small-business pants to work everyday for an entire year, we are not making the sojourn to SXSW. Perhaps next year when we have more writers, photographers, and multimedia people to cover such a carnival.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. – What’s In A Name Anyway?

There’s a lot of personal bias that could turn someone off listening to any given song, much less keep them sticking around to hear a whole album. I’m not any different. I know what I like and what I don’t like. But there are times I just want to be surprised by something new. Mostly… Continue Reading Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. – What’s In A Name Anyway?

Chrome Pony Has Three Speeds

That said, my omnivorous ears have done a little foraging over the past few days. Which albums and songs did they go all “nom-nom-nom” on through the… Continue Reading Music! Music! Music!

Mariposa=Butterfly=Awesome

It is perhaps too strong to say that I was not stoked to attend the body positive feminist art and poetry show last night. I at least knew that there would be cupcakes, which is an immediate and obvious improvement over the hummus and pita platters that characterized the living room poetry of the mid-1990s.… Continue Reading Mariposa=Butterfly=Awesome
