Snoop Dogg Flees to India

This is, without a doubt, one of the more perplexing and hilarious things that Snoop Dogg has ever done. And with Snoop Dogg, that’s saying something. I’ve racked my brain for reasons how and why this could’ve possibly come together, and here are a few explanations I’ve conjured:
Top 5 Reasons Snoop decided to co-star in [...]

Lost MP3 of the Week: DJ Bobo, “Chihuahua”

Nearly two years ago now, I posted a short list of songs that reminded me of my post-college trip to Europe & Asia. One of those songs, DJ Bobo’s “Chihuahua,” has recently reappeared in my life – and will soon make its way into yours, as well, if it hasn’t already.

Band of Horses or Band of Hypocrites?

It’s awfully hypocritical that after Ben Bridwell’s insufferable ranting about being famous for only “the Funeral,” — or, more specifically, people at certain shows only interested in “the Funeral,” same ballpark — Band of Horses allowed it to be used in a 2008 Ford Edge commercial. Remember this? Here’s the key excerpt:
But then you had [...]

Hey! Nielsen and Billboard.com Best Music Blog Contest

I’m proud to announce that T-Sides has been nominated for the Best Music Blog Contest hosted by Nielsen and Billboard. There’s a long list of stellar nominees, but this is the first time T-Sides has been nominated for something, so it’s a note-worthy event.

To cast a vote for T-Sides, register (don’t worry, you can tell [...]

Lost MP3 of the Week: “Rent is too Damn High”

It’s been a long week. One of my two other roommates decided to move out, resulting in a lot of stress over money, landlords, finding new roommates, etc. All the housing stress reminded me of my first apartment hunt, and then reminded me of something my editorial & review class professor told me about in [...]

The Answer Key!

I know, I know. It’s not that I lied to you — it’s that I came down with a nasty cold shortly after writing that entry. I have the worst immune system ever, and I get sick about every other month. I do have plenty in store for you in the next day or so, [...]

Test Yo’self.

Don’t worry, I haven’t slipped into yet another not-posting coma. I’ve simply been waiting to add more mp3s to my hosting because those 50+ songs from my end of the year lists are taking up a lot of disk space and bandwidth, and I don’t want to risk going over my limit. Speaking of which, [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
