“Aw, Fine, Mom! How’s Washington?”

Although I’m sure no one will read this before the New Year, I wanted to share my favorite New Year’s song with you, oh internet.

Big Sigh of Relief.

While I certainly hope that all of you had a wonderful Holiday Season, personally, when I woke up on the 26th, I was so relieved. The holidays are finally over, which means no more stress, no more over the top money spending, and increased amounts of sleep and relaxation. It also means more updates! My [...]

All Night Stay-Up, No Sleep!

I’m pulling an all-nighter tonight in preparation for my trip to Seattle for the holidays. But unlike in college where my all-nighters were usually thanks to ridiculous amounts of fun (I only ever pulled one or two all-nighters because of work that was due), I’m staying up because it just seems easier, as I need [...]

After this Flow, You Might Owe Me a Favor.

I had originally planned a sort of blog update weekend extravaganza. I’ve been crazy mad exhausted lately, so I was looking forward to a weekend of relaxation and mild but enjoyable work, such as finishing the little things left to do in the apartment, watching ROME and updating T-Sides. Then yesterday I realized that this [...]

It’s Only Wednesday.

I had a horrible day today. The kind of horrible day where everything starts going wrong the minute you walk out the door. In truth, my troubles really did start then, because when I closed the door and left this morning is when I locked myself out of my apartment. That was just the beginning, [...]

Racetrack: “Go Ahead and Say It” EP

Before we start, it’s disclosure time. I know Racetrack. I don’t know them in the OMG we’re best friends and we hang out all the time kind of way, but in a we saw each other at a lot of the same shows in Seattle and identified with some similar bands kind of way. And [...]

Project Runway Contest Sighting #2!

I’m sure that only a fraction of you will care about this, but I have to mention it.

Yesterday I was walking to Whole Foods in Union Square to grab some lunch, and as I was crossing the street, I saw Malan Breton, of Project Runway Season 3 fame. You may remember him as making weird [...]

Central Services: “Central Services”

It’s a tough music world for side projects. Endlessly compared to main projects, no matter how different, they bear the brunt of greatness indirectly. (The Postal Service are perhaps the only/biggest exception to this.) Even if your main project isn’t so hugely famous, the side project is almost always subject to wider criticism. Perhaps it’s [...]

T-Sides.com, Version 1.5: Now With More Header!

I know it’s been awfully erratic here on T-Sides since… well, the beginning, pretty much. Thing is, I started this at probably the worst time possible. I was entering my last semester of college, after which I went to Europe, after which I moped around about the job hunt for awhile, after which I found [...]

Just Hold On Now.

Moving is difficult.  When you’re a pack-rat like yours truly, moving is even more difficult.  I moved to Brooklyn in mid-October, but there’s still moving-related tasks to be done.  The past week or two has been filled with my mother’s visit to New York and setting up my apartment.  I also recently came down with [...]
