Review of Neon Trees’ ‘Picture Show’
I don’t like backtracking as much as the next reviewer, but in the case of Neon Trees, I kind of have to. I stated in the music section of our Looking Forward To section earlier this month that their music would fill in the electric-alternative hole that The Killers left for us a couple of […]

If you are anything like me, you appreciate music that sounds different from what is being played by everyone. This can bring you into some fun and memorable territory, like the alternative trio Battles or the soulful throwback sound of Mayer Hawthorne. But other times, it takes you to a place that almost makes you […]

Before I get into Lee Hirsch’s documentary Bully, I would like to state my own stance on the topic of “bullying.” When I was younger, I was the one being picked on because I was different, whether it was because of what I looked like or how I spoke. I’ve gone to the brink and […]

This week’s Game of Thrones continued to remain dark, and I mean really dark. This season has so far featured baby killing in every episode. Well, alright that might be taking it a bit to far. We don’t really know for sure if there was baby killing going on in this episode but it sure seemed […]

I admit that I might be somewhat to blame for my personal dislike for Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City. After all, I began reading it under the pretense that the book was a work of fiction loosely based on the story of a serial killer who used Chicago’s World Fair to lure unsuspecting […]

Before I even knew the word “dubstep,” I knew Bassnectar. One of my friends in college just so happened to be blasting “Cozza Frenzy” through the halls, which immediately sparked my interest. Ever since then, I’ve been digging through his back catalogs, downloading most of his free library on his website, and blaring it wherever […]

If you don’t know what Warped Tour is, let me explain. The summer-long tour is a showcase of the alternative music scene, including acts that make you mosh, and others that can mellow you out. That’s why I love it so much. In the day when the 200 band tour come to my hometown, I […]
