Need to Breathe: “The Outsiders” Album Review
Apparently getting settled back into school took me a bit longer than I thought. That’s not to say that I wasn’t focusing on the pile of CDs I have to review. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Now that my graphics and design class has ended (and my life has come back), I can once … Continue reading
Love and Theft’s “World Wide Open” had me singing along before I knew the words

MTV Video Music Awards and Why Kanye West is a TOOL
So I’m sitting here working on my homework and watching the VMAs. I generally don’t watch these unless I’m doing something mindless, but this year, 2 crazy things happened within the first 10 minutes and I haaad to keep it on after that. The Michael Jackson tribute was amazing. Having it end with Janet dancing … Continue reading
A New Kind of Featured Artist: Leah Roszkowski
I really need to start surrounding myself with less talented people. Some sing, some dance, some are great writers and some, like Leah, are amazing artists. Despite how great my stick figures may appear, they are nothing compared to the intricate details Leah Roszkowski includes in her art…and she’s extremely modest about it. Regardless of … Continue reading

Andrew Hoover’s fusion of acoustic soul, R&B, Latino flair and blues creates a musical taste-treat that is sure to entertain all ears for hours on end. … Continue reading

Interesting…rumor has it that Simon “No Shame” Cowell got a raise for the upcoming season. This is not a happy day! First, Britney Spears is … Continue reading
Oh, the humanity!
Yes, it has finally happened. Britney Spears is being commended for all of her recent…accomplishments. “Musically,” that is. This morning, E! Online reported that the one and only B-Spears has been nominated for 7, yes-count them, 7, MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). *Madness ensues. What does this mean?
