T-Sides Elsewhere, Oct. 4th Edition

If you want some idea of what I’ve been up to/where I’ve been hiding, you can tune in to East Village Radio tomorrow (Monday, Oct. 5th) morning, to hear me DJ the Domino Records Show from 10am – 12pm (EST).
You can also listen to the last couple shows I DJed by going to the archive [...]

Lost MP3 of the Week: John Coltrane, “Love Supreme: Part 1: Acknowledgement”

The first time I heard A Love Supreme, I was on a train coming back from MacArthur Airport in Islip, Long Island. I was in my senior year of college and had just watched my long-distance boyfriend board a plane back to California.
It had been an interesting and emotional trip, as rushed visits between distant [...]

Lost MP3 of the Week: Des’ree, “Kissing You”

I “fell in love” so many times in high school that it’s hard to know who to classify as the first, but Damon was the first time I fell hard. Really hard.
We met in a summer program through a local occupational school that allowed you to take a culinary arts class in the summer and [...]

Happy Birthday to…Us! T-Sides is Three Years Old!

Here at T-Sides, we’re celebrating the impending arrival of Valentine’s Day by acknowledging a very important relationship. Your relationship with yourself. Not to say that all those others aren’t important, too. But as that wise old sage Charles Bukowski says, “If you have the ability to love / love yourself first.” Ok, so Bukowski wasn’t [...]

T-Sides Elsewhere: T-Sides Interview Featured on PerfSpot.com

When you spend your time interviewing other people, the prospect of being the one answering the questions instead of asking them can be rather exciting. So, it’s with great excitement that I share with you this link to PerfSpot.com, who recently interviewed me for a feature on T-Sides. Unfortunately there’s no direct link to the [...]

Recess

If things seem a little quiet here at T-Sides lately, that’s because we’re moving! Not the website, it’ll still be right here, just our base of operations. We’re cookin’ up some great features for you, though, as always, so please stay tuned. In the meantime, here’s a little something in the spirit of relocating for [...]

On Turning 24

Not to take an overly narcissistic turn here, but today is your blogmaster’s 24th birthday. As it just so happens, one of my favorite bands – I’m sure you can guess who – has a song that mentions being 24, which also happens to be the only song that immediately comes to mind that sings [...]

Death Cab for Cutie at McCarren Park Pool: The Injury-Ridden Aftermath

Now that my review of Death Cab for Cutie’s concert at Brooklyn’s McCarren Park Pool is up on Bullz-Eye, I can give an account of the upsetting events that happened afterward. You’ll want to read the piece on Bullz-Eye first, so pop on over there and read it. Don’t worry, this will [...]

Looking Forward & Looking Back: T-Sides is Two Years Old!

Amazingly enough, we’ve reached the two-year mark here at T-Sides. I say amazingly because as any avid blog reader/writer will tell you, blogs — and music blogs in particular — tend to have a short shelf life.
After many unsuccessful brainstorms and attempts, T-Sides will not, in any foreseeable future, be implementing any sort of regular [...]

Welcome, 2008 & PopDose!

Now that I’m done with 2007, it’s time to turn our attention towards 2008, which I’ve sorely neglected for these past two weeks, though not out of spite.
With the start of 2008 came the start of PopDose, a smart, uninhibited blog about all things pop culture and even a few things not. There’s a vast [...]
