Loading ...Starbucks has a pretty bad rap. Lately, there has been the news that the coffee giant is closing 600 stores. But even before Starbucks had these financial difficulties many people saw the chain as a sort of representation of all that was wrong with capitalism; it was the big, heartless chain store closing down locally-owned […]

College Candy’s Sunday Playlist

TV on the Radio: Wolf Like Me. More than just about any other band, TV on the Radio makes music that makes me want to dance. And not shuffle-from-side-to-side dance, more like jump-in-the-middle-of-the-dance-floor-and-lose-my-sh*t dance.
I wouldn’t even qualify TVotR as a dance band, but the New York-based quintet certainly knows how to produce music that makes […]

Comments (1) Ten Signs I’m Getting Old
June 30, 2008 - 1:30 pm
I told my mother the other day that I felt like I was getting old and she laughed at me. She said she didn’t want to hear sh*t about getting old until I went through menopause. Fair enough.
But that doesn’t detract from the fact that I feel thirty and all of its dastardly implications creeping […]

I write the following with the understanding that no matter how annoying Facebook can be, it will never be more annoying than Myspace. (Editor’s Note: I am not so sure…) And I will not stop using Facebook because of these things.
10. People You May Know. Otherwise known as “People that you don’t know well enough […]

Comments (11) Sunday Classics (For a Monday): Amelie
June 23, 2008 - 9:30 am
I don’t know anyone personally that doesn’t like the movie, Amelie. Saying so, I know, is a big neon invitation for everyone to chime in and say how much they hate its whimsy and sticky-sweetness, but I’m going to say it anyway. Because I think that liking Amelie says a lot about the person who […]

Straight to Hell: The Clash
Does this song sound familiar? If you are a fan of MIA (and who isn’t these days?) then it should–she samples this, my favorite song of all time, on her catchy single Paper Planes. Straight to Hell most deftly and beautifully represents everything that makes the Clash so singular and so […]

Comments (0) The Top Five Defining Albums of my Youth
June 17, 2008 - 5:30 pm
2008 marks the 15 year anniversary of the release of Liz Phair’s middle finger of an album Exile in Guyville. Its re-release has been getting a lot of publicity on blogs and public radio stations because for many, it was a landmark album, a defining album of their teens-to-early twenties. I didn’t get into Liz […]

Comments (1) Sunday Classics-Friday the 13th
June 15, 2008 - 10:00 am
Friday was, of course, the 13th, so in honor of the most dastardly day of the year, this week’s Sunday Classic is, well, you know.
Is Friday the 13th really a classic? You might ask, to which I would respond with a robust f*cking a!. Many people just shrug it off as just another slasher movie, […]
