Not letting go

Everyone should start a band. You get to dedicate all your free time to practicing the same handful of songs that no one but your bandmates want to hear. You'll lose money at worst and break even at best. You get at least two free drink tickets per gig. Sound guys will automatically hate you. You'll get criminally ripped off by streaming services, but at least you'll get good exposure! What's not to love about being in a band ? If you've ever been in a band, even just for a few weeks before rag…

If you know anything about Beyoncé fans, it's that they are fierce tweeters. As Beyoncé's single BREAK MY SOUL was released last night, the Bey Hive was up praising their queen. The response to the song was generally positive, but there was one aspect that stood out to fans in particular, and that was the anti-work themes of the song.

It's time for me to come out as a high school punk. My jeans were artfully ripped, my hair was dyed bright red, and my walkman plastered with band stickers, and I spent my nights listening to the same songs over and over while eating Cherry Garcia ice cream and contemplating sneaking out of my strict home. When I did, it was straight to “The Temple,” a synagogue that was converted into a Korean church, where they somehow allowed mohawked and studded kids throw crazy shows. This was around when…

They've got taste

Every day my boyfriend gets into his car and plugs his old ass iPod into his car. What happens next is up to the tiny, silvery machine - will it be Whitney Houston or harsh noise from Tokyo? You never know. Could be Gloria Estefan. Whatever the tunes, it's nice to be able to use one's phone and listen to music at the same time, a luxury that the iPod permitted. But not anymore. Apple announced yesterday that they're discontinuing their latest iPod Touch model, and retiring the music devices alt…

This song is a joke, right?

They really prepped for this

They are trying
