I thought I was going to have more than this, but I didn’t go in today because I’m sick and I almost collapsed in Penn Station. But, still…
Things were going on outside the office just as much as inside this past week.
Jann Wenner + Wenner Media were all over Gawker in relation to firings [...]

SXSW

South By Southwest. Large indie music festival blah blah blah. Wish I was going blah blah blah. Bitter that I’m not so I’m not going to say much more than this blah blah blah. Go download TONS OF FREE MP3s from the artists that are playing it here, blah blah blah.
[Edit: [...]

Jeez, it’s already been almost a week? Well, this post will make up for it, guaranteed.
One day, during my senior year of high school (almost four years ago now – and when I was still in Seattle), my friend Courtney called me up and invited me over. Her friend, RaeAnne, stumbled across two [...]

[Editor's Note: this was supposed to go up yesterday, but... well, you know. Life happens.]
Since Fridays are always a bit frivolous, fun and flirty (and other fabulous words beginning with f), I figured it would be a good day for some spare parts, so to speak.

This week was ridiculously slow, but here a few interesting tidbits:
1) just like everyone else, RS be lovin’ the Arctic Monkeys. Am I the only one who is not jumping on that bandwagon? I haven’t heard the album in its entirety, but what I have heard has utterly failed to blow me away.
2) [...]

Ghost Wars

Those of you from Seattle (and possibly from elsewhere) may remember a band named Juno. Juno was filled with talent (Death Cab fans may remember that Nick Harmer and Jason McGerr lent their talents to Juno, and I believe Nate Mendel did, as well?) – but frontman former pro-snowboarder Arlie Carstens was often [...]

Not music related, but I just can’t help myself -
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m pretty much obsessed with Project Runway. None of the designers from this season have me as excited as I was about Jay McCarroll last year (who I liked since day one, thank you!), but it’s [...]

Again, not ignoring you – just distracted/busy!
The internship has been going pretty well – like most internships, there’s lots of busy work to be done, and most of it isn’t remotely glamorous. I’ve spent most of my time putting together packets of some sort – gossip packets (all the major gossip columns in newspapers) [...]

Break-up songs are never hard to find. As anyone who creates art or enjoys a lot of it will tell you, pain has a tendency to result in a better product than happiness does. It just translates better (probably because, in my opinion, happiness tends to be much more subjective and individualized).
In my [...]

It’s A Beautiful Day

When I listen to the radio, I tend to listen to “classic rock” stations, because there’s a better shot that they’ll play things I both recognize and enjoy (of course, when I’m in Seattle, KEXP takes over a sizable portion of the air time in my car). Recently, I was listening [...]
