Modern Music Tease

Modern Music Tease

One of my managers is as obsessive about music as I am. However, he is also nearing 40 and was a club DJ in the 80s, so he has become…

View From a Hill

View From a Hill

I’ve been to Indigo Girls concerts in four different states, and seen them in all sorts of venues – everything from small clubs to performing arts halls to a college…

Twang

Twang

[Caveat: It is true that Meredith Edwards’ CD, Reach, is the first release from Lance Bass’s management company, Free Lance Entertainment. It is also true that Meredith was one of…

Bombastic Brit

Bombastic Brit

I already hate myself for writing this, so no comments please. Also, I would like to state for the record that it’s all amy’s fault. She got me hooked on…

Summery New Songs, Gurlie Style

Summery New Songs, Gurlie Style

The summer is almost upon us and it’s time to flush out those hibernation tracks on your iPod and fill it with great new music. We’ve reviewed a sampling of…

Down Memory Lane with Toad

Down Memory Lane with Toad

I heart Toad the Wet Sprocket. When you’re young and depressed, and writing the lyrics to The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven” over and over again in your diary, there’s nothing…

Fallback Albums: Jessica

Fallback Albums: Jessica

The thing about a first impression is that you can only make it once. In my opinion this holds true with bands. I usually find myself going back to albums…

Chicks or Peeps?

Chicks or Peeps?

I have a confession to make. I actually got a sneak peak of the Dixie Chicks new album three weeks ago when I was lucky enough to score tickets to…

A Much Needed Trek to Greenland

A Much Needed Trek to Greenland

Anyone who remembers when alternative really meant alternative, they certainly know Camper Van Beethoven. They were a mainstay on MTV’s 120 Minutes with videos for “Pictures of Matchstick Men,” “Eye…

Things I Never Stopped Loving from The 90s – The Jessica Edition

Things I Never Stopped Loving from The 90s – The Jessica Edition

1. Juliana Hatfield My first introduction to Juliana Hatfield came from MTV’s Sunday night alternative video show, 120 Minutes (another favorite below). They would always show her video for “What…

Department Store Girl

Department Store Girl

Having been selected by Amy to review Department Store Girl, the latest album release by The Rosenbergs, I wasn’t certain of a. who they were or b. why she had…

Bubba Delivers

Bubba Delivers

I must admit, I remember hearing the single “Ugly” off Bubba Sparxxx’s 1999 debut album, Dark Days, Bright Nights but only vaguely. It was likeable enough, but had the feel…

The Afterglow Fades

The Afterglow Fades

What I am about to say will hurt me much more than it will hurt Sarah McLachlan, but here goes: Sarah’s new album is full of some of the most…

McLachlan Remixed (Again)

McLachlan Remixed (Again)

I’m not one who typically goes for song remixes. While many of the more hardcore fans are protective of their favorite artists and feel that remixes are bastardizations of their…

Moore, Please

Moore, Please

Mandy Moore, despite her onetime status as a blond, has never marched to the same drummer as her teen pop princess contemporaries. She’s never had a video that required editing…

Ok, Get Set, Go

Ok, Get Set, Go

The first time I’d ever heard of Ok Go, they were on stage with the ‘This American Life’ tour at the Town Hall in New York City. Ira Glass deemed…

Don’t Hate Him Because He’s Fabulous

Don’t Hate Him Because He’s Fabulous

I have something to say today. It may sound blasphemous, but it is something I can no longer keep to myself. The best concerts I have ever had the privilege…

This Is Morrissey

This Is Morrissey

America, your head’s too big, croons Morrissey on the first line of his new album You Are The Quarry, and it’s reassuring to know the guy hasn’t lost his bite…

All For You

All For You

Having a housemate who works for the biggest radio station in the country can be, y’know, a good thing. Like, for instance, when you get a call the last day…

The Pink Pirate, Live

The Pink Pirate, Live

Written by Danielle “An Intimate Evening With Esthero.” “A Very Special Acoustic Benefit With Esthero.” “Drunken Story Telling With the Coolest Pirate Around.” Call it what you will, but it…

Lily Allen Knocks ‘Em Out

Lily Allen Knocks ‘Em Out

Thank goodness for MySpace, without which Lily Allen would probably be an obscure struggling artist. Lucky for her, the constant in-your-face, every-time-you-sign-on promotion technique that Myspace uses has brought her…

Schizophrenic Bares Chasez’s Influences

Schizophrenic Bares Chasez’s Influences

Written by P. E. Nelson Having been largely ambivalent toward *NSYNC during their 90s heyday, JC Chasez’s recent solo release is less to me a continuation of a career closely…

SSPU and Viva Voce Live

SSPU and Viva Voce Live

Written by Danielle I have a soft spot for bands containing a single female member who is not the lead singer (i.e. a female in a band who plays in…

Justify My Love

Justify My Love

Thousands of half-naked teenage girls can’t be wrong. At least, that’s what I told myself as I sat wide-eyed in the sea of girl-flesh attending the Justin Timberlake/Christina Aguilera concert…

Fallback Albums: Alex

Fallback Albums: Alex

Written by Alex This was a hard list for me to make, as I am very much a mixtape kind of girl. I tend to pick and choose, as one…

Hard Candy: New Frontier

Hard Candy: New Frontier

Written by Nicole Even with the sweetener, there’s no mistaking the trademark soulful, deeply personal songs by Adam Duritz on Hard Candy, the fourth studio album from Counting Crows. If…

Instant Take Two

Instant Take Two

The release of Songs from Instant Star Two gave me an opportunity to test out a theory I had when I reviewed the first soundtrack volume – does it make…

Odd Little Gems

Odd Little Gems

Two Saturdays ago, I turned on my computer to hear my external storage drive make a horrific grinding noise, cough politely and die, taking with it nearly 10 GB of…

Just Good Music

Just Good Music

So, in my attempt to prove to myself that there is still life beyond pop, I have gone through all of my old CDs, hoping to find some I may…

PopGurls for Thought

Johnny Depp is the gayest pirate ever to hit the mainstream. There is, perhaps, gay porn where the actors pretend to be pirates, and that possibly might be more gay. - Amanda, "Ahoy Ye Teenies"

The Random

I had to show Lennon my butt rash. I didn’t know what was going on and I needed a second opinion, and I certainly wasn’t going to get my husband involved. So in our little office, I had to show it to her. That’s real. - "Jessica St. Clair"
