To Indie or not Indie

An in-depth look on what the word “indie” really means.

Album Review

I just wrote a review of XX Teens’ Welcome to Goon Island for my music blog,, and thought I’d share since I liked this review quite a bit.

Hittting the Snooze Button

I’m on vacation.

What’s New

I was at a couple of day long events with Campus Progress this week, including a journalism conference. Today I’m also flying out to Seattle for a couple of weeks. Trust me, I’ll update very soon with new things. I didn’t go listen to John Edwards, and Pulitzer Prize winners Seymour Hersh and Jose Antonio Vargas without a notepad in hand.

Arrested Development…is no longer arrested?

With the success of other small screen to big screen productions a la Sex and the City, it was only a matter of time before other cancelled television shows followed suit. As many of you know, I’m an avid follower of many TV shows.  It’s actually sort of embarassing how many shows I’ve seen at least an entire season of.

Hint: It’s definitely in the double digits.

I’ve written a piece about the pregnancy pacts in Mass. It’s not my best, but the piece I started on cell phones just wasn’t working. Feel free to read if you are interested.

Yes, I understand that a recap of last year is a bit dated, but I just started a new job meaning I have less time to write completely new things. I assure you, fresh material is one the way.

These clips are from a spread printed in December 2007 highlighting the staff’s favorite new music, television, and movies of the past year.

Oberlin Confessional Examined

Here we have another previously published article. Unlike my other pieces of work on this site, this one contains strong language and may not be appropriate for all readers.

Out of Luck

Sorry folks, I just don’t have the energy to churn anything new out for today and I’m running low on older articles that I still find “acceptable”. Perhaps I’ll add two tomorrow or something.

Cheers,
