I am all for free speech…but that doesn’t mean respect needs to fly out of the window in order for some artist to practice his first amendment right. In 3Oh!3’s new song, “Don’t Trust Me,” the following lyrics are uttered from their desperate, fame seeking lips: Shush girl, shut your lips. Do the Helen Keller … Continue reading

Ken Block “Drift”
Summer is a time for new music. It fills itself with countless concerts, poolside boom boxes and humming cars impatiently waiting for a green light. One CD that should be present in your car or swim bag is Ken Block’s “Drift.” “Drift” is Ken Block’s first solo album and was released last December. However, as … Continue reading
American Idol Finale
Winner: Kris Allen Group song with top 13: So What? (I’m Still a Rockstar). Ooo yikes. No good. Pink should stick to that song. David Cook: Permanent. How surreal it must be to sing at the finale. A year ago he was probably a nervous wreck. Now, he’s a platinum artist. No big deal. Norman … Continue reading
Final 2 Perform: “Battle of the Acoustic Rocker and the Glam Rocker”

Lady Gaga? Inappropriate? What?!
Let’s have some fun, this beat is sick. I wanna take a ride on your disco stick. Don’t think too much, just bust that stick. I wanna take a ride on your disco stick. Aaaand repeat. Wow, really? Does she want to be taken seriously? I’m all for good fun in songs, but that’s awful … Continue reading
We’ll Miss You, Danny
Aside from learning that I am a total sap (yes, I bawled my eyes out during this elimination; judge me), I realized that American Idol does much, much more than create musical superstars. An idol can be given free cheese dip for life at his favorite restaurant (Kris) or wear snakeskin shoes and not be … Continue reading
Down to 2…
Guesses as to who will be in the final two? Prediction: Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. Also, love Noah, the guy who wants to be a superstar. He learned “The World’s Greatest” in a week…and he’s from Rawanda…and doesn’t speak English. Craziness. Continue reading

Save the Music: Collegiate Style
After the University of Illinois Concert Choir finished the last note of Shenandoah, finding a dry eye in the first row was nearly impossible. No, people were not crying because they were feet away from celebrities. Tears were shed for a very different reason. Titled “Zum Schluss: A Farewell Concert,” the Concert Choir’s spring concert … Continue reading
