The Man in the Mirror

Thoughts Out Loud/HauteThought has a new genre for all of you! Musicians I truly admire are few and far between.

Kyle Andrews “Real Blasty”
Shame on the teachers that told you never to judge a book by its cover. In the case of Kyle Andrews’ “Real Blasty,” please do. The colorful cover art as well as the bright greens, pinks and yellows that plaster themselves to the actual disc don’t lie. Andrews’ music is about as far from dull [...]

Finally, another fashion article. Just like the last one, Kate has been generous enough to give us a bit of fashion wisdom. The topic? High-waisted skirts.

Confusion
Hmm..Adam (G)Lambert or Britney Spears? The green snake groping the photo’s subject really throws me off. Adam, we love you, but why is there a snake that close to your zipper? Better question–Why is there a butterfly pin so close to your zipper? Otherwise, awesome color scheme. It’s all tied together with the green of [...]
