As the days become shorter I find myself listening to music that can be described as the soundtrack of my childhood. It’s warm and comforting. This week I listened to Carole King’s Tapestry album. I’ve heard many of the songs…
This beat cha-ching like money
It should come as no surprise to ANYBODY who has known me for even the slightest bit that I love me some boy bands. Always have, always will. If you haven’t heard of BTS before, they are a K-Pop band…
My Biggest “Loser” Moment

I love all of your worst bands and I don't care.
An article has been making the rounds on my Facebook friends’ walls -LA Weekly’s Top 20 Worst Bands of All Time. (Google it if you want.) My friends are delightful and smart people so I have no idea why they’re…
Mariah can still sing
Putting aside the butterflies, Glitter and #dembabies weirdness, Mariah Carey still has a good set of pipes on her. She missed a note or two, and the range has changed a bit, but it’s nice to hear her unprocessed. (and…
The Muppets and CeeLo Green: All I Need is Love
