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
Featured Artist: California Wives
Forming a band from a group of individuals that have been trained in genres ranging from classical music to rock music to electronic is a difficult feat. Each style has its own strengths and complications, and attempting to fuse them together could easily turn out to be a jumbled mess. California Wives, a four piece … Continue reading
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

New Release: Neal E. Boyd’s “My American Dream”
Thoughts Out Loud/HauteThought has a new genre for all of you! Musicians I truly admire are few and far between. Technological advancements such as Auto Tune, Pro Tools and the distortion effect that took the hip hop scene by storm last year have made it possible for people like Britney Spears and Lil’ Wayne to … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
Featured Artist: Pat McGee “Come Back Home”
Come Back Home was written in the wake of me losing my longtime drummer and former Army soldier John C. Williams. But the song started off as a reflection of how a military couple deals with separation. After the release of Come Back Home, John’s little brother was killed by an IED in Iraq. His name was Blake … Continue reading
