It’s dark, rainy and windy outside. I’ve come back from my chiropractor where my right shoulder has been through the usual therapy for a pinched nerve. Read the rest of this entry »

(3 votes, average: 3.33 out of 5) Loading ...
Death Cab for Cutie is a band that evokes emotions some didn’t even know they had. They were my favorite band a few years ago due to the release of ‘Transatlantcism,’ which I listened to on repeat for weeks. Death cab has a song that can relate to pretty much every relationship I have ever been in. From the hard break ups to the times I was truly in love. While they are no longer my favorite band, they have always been there for when I want to get lost in memories of the past.
Concert Review: The Morning Of

Newcomer to Bamboozle Rocked it
May 20, 2008—The Morning Of—Newburgh, NY—played at Bamboozle 2008 for the first time on May 3rd, 2008. This is a happy, energetic band that is also very talented. Their new Indie pop-punk album is “The World As We know it” (Tragic Hero Records). For a newcomer to Bamboozle, their confidence and stage presence looked as though they were returning artists. In between songs, the guitarist said, “Two years ago I stood in the stands and thought, ‘wow, wouldn’t it be cool to play at Bamboozle,’” which made me wonder, where will they be two years from now?

No Age - Nouns
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...
Nouns is the best album of 2008 so far by any standards. The duo No Age bring their sound with refreshing consideration to punk-attuned audiences with no qualms. Hailing from Los Angeles, their guitar and drums combination with insightful lyrics layered on top provides the recipe for a great half hour of listening. In particular, Nouns emphasizes No Age’s lo-fi melodies that provide a for cushion for lyrics that hold meaning and mentality. Read the rest of this entry »
Well, anyone remember what they did on September 17, 1991? I sure as hell don’t, but you know who does? Axl Rose. Probably because that was the last time his band Guns and Roses put out a full length album of original material. Since that time he has been busy kicking people out of the band, and replacing them with other people who play exactly like the people he had just kicked out of the band, all the while signing them to contracts to guarantee them a royalty free future from the forth coming album.

Going to NYC for a show always seems like such a wonderful idea at first…but then in retrospect [after riding the 1:41am NE corrider branch NJT back to Princeton Junction only to find yourself standing in the rain trying to hassle with cab drivers to drive you back to the campus] one has to reaaally think about whether or not that money and time was worth it. In most cases, the response is pretty quick to come: “Yeah, that was an amazing show…[insert band name] were so great. Totally worth it. I’m going to go blog about how wonderful they were.” But, every so often, you have to brace yourself for the ugly truth (i.e.-you got suckered); unfortunately, that seemed to be the case last night.

So when people ask me what kind of music I listen to…they are usually very surprised as to my answer. Other than listening to mainstream bands, and songs and artists on the radio, I’m very much into the “Screamo” scene (as much as I hate to label music, which is in its own a separate topic). I mean, obviously, I’m a girl…and I guess there’s this underlying thought that girls don’t listen to that type of music. Well then, I guess I’m not your average girl. Read the rest of this entry »
Exit 7A on the New Jersey turnpike, and Judas Priest

At this moment, I still can’t bear to listen to ‘Hell Bent for Leather’ without a tear coming to my eye. I was at the gym yesterday and ‘Breaking the Law’ came on my iPod and I couldn’t bear to listen… well okay, I’m being melodramatic. But that’s more fun than saying “I’m mildly disappointed”, right? Here we are, five days later and I’m still pissed, I still blame the New Jersey Turnpike, and my copy of ‘Screaming for Vengeance’ sits in my living room unsigned. How did I get here?
