Fear not, T-Sides it not dead! Some friends from Seattle are staying with me, so I’ve been busy. But I have plans for future entries, so take my word that they are on the way. In the meantime, here are a few things you should check out:
1. If you haven’t already, get caught up with [...]

I got so caught up in my excitement for St. Patrick’s Day that I completely forgot to link out to last week’s Week in Rock Roundtable. Last week, John from Lost in the ’80s joined, along with Gary from Media Hound and Will from Bullz-Eye. Don’t ask me what the current participant count is, because [...]

I love James Bond movies. And when I say “James Bond movies,” I mean the ones starring Sean Connery. Maybe I’m just an old fashioned kind of girl, but in my eyes, no man has been able to so much as hold a candle to Sean Connery’s Bond.
Bond debate aside, one thing most Bond fans [...]

As someone with red hair, people are often surprised that I’m Irish (actually, I’m not entirely kidding when I say that). What generally does surprise people, though, is that I’m not big on music in the style of the mother country. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve never been a fan of that [...]

There are times when I am behind on things. There are times when I am very, very behind on things, and I am not afraid to admit when those times are. This is one of those times.
I’ve heard the Buena Vista Social Club before this weekend. I’ve heard them on mix CDs from friends, in [...]

There’s been so much Week in Rock Roundtable goodness going on! Firstly, the second installment from last week’s discussion can be read here. On the chopping block: Journey, The Firm, Robert Plant, Aerosmith.
Secondly, two more people came on board for this week’s bantering: Dave M. from Bullz-Eye, and Michael from Down with Snark!
This week’s two [...]

It’s highly likely that most of you have seen these by now, but the Smoking Gun has a plethora of letters from viewers concerned about the subject matter that Prince’s performance supposedly represented (a cigar is never just a cigar, right?). Here are a few highlights:
“CBS Sports producers knew, that when the former penist named [...]

When it comes to the battle of great rappers of the ’90s, I don’t like to take sides in the Biggie vs. Tupac argument. As a West Coaster, I grew up being much more familiar with Tupac’s music, but can certainly appreciate Notorious B.I.G.
A couple weeks ago, I saw an amazing documentary called Bastards of [...]

This is the best news I’ve heard in a long, long time. Courtesy of Pitchfork:
Someone please pinch me. Three and a half years after their voluntary break-up, the mighty Dismemberment Plan will reunite for a show at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C.
On April 28, the [...]
