One thing on my list of “things to do in life” is to see all my favorite musicians live. I’ve already crossed Jamie Cullum off the list (though I’m planning to see him again, and as many times as possible, in fact), and I’m looking…
I’ll admit it now…few of the CDs that I purchased when I was 14 or 15 still remain in rotation in my CD player. One of the exceptions is Incubus’ fourth album, Morning View. I purchased the album sometime between those teenage years, and fell…
I’ll admit that the only reason I bought the Elizabethtown DVD was because I wanted another excuse to stare at Orlando Bloom for two hours. The movie itself turned out to be decent…at times moving, funny, and romantic, and at times, slow-paced and annoying (well,…
Jack Johnson’s name has often come up in conversations about music among my friends and me. I had never heard any of his music in the past, and my friends would often tell me, knowing my music taste (namely my love for artists like John…

Every once in a while, someone comes along in music whom you know is going to make a difference. This could easily be said of Jeff Buckley. Buckley appeared in the music scene in ’91 and was quickly hailed by fans and critics alike to…
My manager at work, Kris, and I are obsessed with all things American Idol. Together, we gossip each week about the show and pick our favorites (or our less-than-favorites). We’re even going as far as throwing a joint finale party this year; when I say…
