Study Finds Musical Taste Linked To Teen Angst
The Age is reporting that a teen’s musical taste is a good place to for parents to start when trying to figure out which type of fucked up your teen thinks they are. The study the report is based on was recently published in the Australasian Psychiatry journal and it links different musical genres to […]

Kaskade Sounds Like Paste Tastes
Kaskade sounds like paste tastes.
I’ve made a flow chart to demonstrate the thought process that must have gone into making Strobelite Seduction.
Air Traffic with Douglas Fir @ TT the Bear’s, 5.22
Music is often generational. For example, if you’re not a 7 to 14 year old girl you probably think Hannah Montana is worthless, but they all love it and no matter how old they get will have a certain affinity or nostalgia for her music. I’m nostalgic to that weird period post […]
Teenage Girls Like the Teenagers, @ the Paradise 5.08
I have reservations about absolutely ripping the Teenagers because my roommate digs them. His opinion is no less valid than mine and he’s just starting to get into mid-stream “independent” music so to jade him at this early stage of development seems wrong. But, he’s a big boy and he can handle it…
…I’ll begin with […]

…the problem with Babies Dream Big is the same problem that this here site suffers from - the inability to establish exactly what it […]

If you’re not familiar, here’s the premise: […]
Listen To: Soltero’s You’re No Dream LP
If you’re going to front or be the sole member of an acoustic folk outfit then you need to either be absolutely prodigious (see: Dylan) or you need to have readily noticeable faults such as an oddly tuned voice (see: John Darnielle). Of course, you need other attributes like a sharp tongue, quick wits, and […]
Windy Smiles, Soltero, and Strand of Oaks @ PA’s, 4/23
Windy Smiles, Soltero, and Strand of Oaks played at PA’s Lounge last night. In the interest of trying to make more people aware of the bands, but while keeping brevity in mind I’ll give a abbreviated rundown of the show. Which means, I’ll skip over the part of the show where everyone had to […]
