Not remotely guilty pleasures.
I don’t particularly believe in “guilty pleasures” when it comes to music. If you like something, you like it. Sure, maybe it’s a little embarassing that you listened to that T.A.T.U., Kelly Clarkson, Lovage, Head Automatica record as much as you did, but should you feel guilt? Not at all. You like what you like,...
Internship: Days Thirteen + Fourteen
Fridays are usually my day off from RS. This week was a closing week (for those of you not in the biz, this means the magazine was getting ready to go to print / all the pages & articles were on deadline / that kind of thing), it was Spring Break for one of the...
Internship: Days Nine – Twelve

On Myspace: Cara Beth Cara Beth has a...
New music from other music.
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...
The “Girl With No Eyes” will “Never Be Alone.”
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...
