It seems like Amy Winehouse, no matter what you think of her, created the trend of British female soul singers on the US charts. Winehouse broke through first, and then tons of copy-cat singers emerged- Duffy, Kate Nash, and Adele, to name a few. When…
Saturday Night Live has been really iffy in the past few years. I’ve grown up watching the show, and have loved it since I was old enough to really have a sense of humor. I always preferred it over shows such as Mad TV, because…
I am pretty envious of my friend, Missy. During our sophomore year of college, she got to spend half of the year studying abroad in Ireland. While she was there, she had the time of her life- met tons of lifelong friends (two of them…
I’m not really a Modest Mouse fan. My ex-boyfriend was probably the biggest fan of them I have ever met; he owns all of their CDs, every live release and bootleg thing he can get his hands on, quotes them on his Twitter like it’s…
In the past year or so, I’ve become somewhat of a Radiohead fanatic. I blame it all on the band’s latest effort, In Rainbows, but I digress. Anyway, I’ve become one of those people who will argue that Radiohead is indeed the best band ever…

I try not to hold grudges. The past is the past, forgive and forget, all that jazz. Though I must say I’m still a teeny bit mad- okay, absolutely livid- about the fact that Kings of Leon cancelled their show that I was going to…
Call me biased, but I’m seriously starting to fall under the opinion that Radiohead‘s frontman, Thom Yorke, is a genius. Of course, there’s all the stellar Radiohead albums that he’s contributed to (including, of course, my favourite album, In Rainbows), but one can never be…
Okay, I am painfully aware of the fact that I’m a twenty-two year old woman (and now I feel even older upon realizing that I first started writing for Epinions when I was thirteen. Where does the time go?!). I am painfully aware of the…
When I think of my favorite groups, Incubus is usually quite high up on the list. I fell in love with the five-part, Calabasas-based rock band when I was in middle school, but their music has guided me past those angst-ridden years (oh, and were…
