The title of this piece would make a great name for a porno. Thankfully, it’s not. Below you’ll find my friend Jaxon’s take on last week’s Vice Presidential debate between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin. Jax isn’t a writer by trade, but he makes several relevant points with his own sense of style. [...]
Last weekend marked the inaugural Tatanka Music and Arts Festival in Boulder, Colorado. Held at the Boulder Reservoir, a public space spanning 700 acres, Tatanka offered two days of jammin’ tunes and funky displays of both fine art and craftwork.
I arrived on Sunday morning to the sounds of the The Unknown Americans, a five-piece rockabilly [...]
10.05The Perfect Album
I have been listening to old WMMR podcasts to counter the homesickness since moving to Boulder. I started thinking about this article while listening to Preston and Steve’s show from April 3, 2006. They discussed the “perfect” album - an album that is the quintissential example of a band’s style and can be listened to [...]
Last week, Mike suggested we write about our experiences with or thoughts on the events that occurred on September 11, 2001. I thought about it… where I was (Russian TA session), how old I was (freshman in college - I had just turned 18), who was affected (my roommate and dorm neighbors were from [...]

08.30I’m Insulted
Alright. I’m not big on writing political commentary, but I’m pretty pissed off. I was all about this election - the excitement of a new world order and the potential for change - but now I’m just insulted.
Dear Obama - You had SO MUCH potential to be truly revolutionary with your VP choice. [...]
I just moved across the country. Here, in no particular order, are the things I have learned and will probably screw up again:
1) Don’t give your mom a set of keys because she will surreptitiously bring boxes down to your apartment and sneak them into the moving truck without you even getting a [...]
It always seems to happen this way: as soon as I am about to embark on a long trip, my big iPod breaks. This occurred two years ago three days before I was to leave for Japan - and let me tell you, a Nano would not do on a 13 hour flight. [...]
In the words of Ellyn Taxin (wise sage and regional manager for City Sports), “the warm weather brings out all the freaks.”
She’s right.
In my near-daily routine of walking the streets of Philly (notice I did not say “street walking in Philly.” That was intentional to deflect all inquiries into my moral stability), I am accosted [...]
Hey guys,
I just started a gig doing concert reviews for Electric Factory Concerts/Live Nation here in Philly. They posted my latest review on their MySpace - please help a sista out, read it, and post a comment if the spirit moves you! I caught the Unity Tour with Snoop Dogg and 311 - [...]
