LMFAO, Literally

A commercial recently alerted me to a shocking, and quite frankly, unbelievable reality. Not only had the terrible tunes of LMFAO been nominated for a Grammy, but they had been nominated in the electronic/dance category. I by no means consider the Grammys tuned into the pulse of artists who exist outside the mainstream and they’ve [...]

We Love Indiepop & Giraffe

If you read yesterday’s Dead and Gone post and thought it a bit out of leftfield, then this post should tie up all the loose ends.
A few weeks back I was sent an email introducing a fantastic small press print publication meets music project titled Merci Magazine from Japanese indiepop label, abcdefg*. Limited to 500 [...]

Dead and Gone

I strongly believe that your insights and opinions are the collective result of your life experiences. The things that we are interested in, and seek out, in turn form our unique viewpoints on related topics. You might say that everything that CreamTeam is, came from a short-lived (but still archived) little blog about my other [...]

MJ—Thoughts & Reflections, Part 2

I have a lot of strong opinions on how the public has chosen to process the death of a previously persecuted man. Pop culture is a fickle beast, embracing innocence, mocking misery and championing legend. As I follow the news coverage, the phrase “If only Michael had been around to see this” is reiterated ad [...]

MJ—Thoughts & Reflections, Part 1

I am struck by the immediacy in which it happened. One day he is rehearsing for one of the biggest challenges in his professional career—a series of big budget concerts in England that would eventually, if deemed successful, parlay into a global tour. A man who would soon turn 51 years old, but whom we [...]

All That You Say / All That You Do…

I ended a very emotional relationship earlier this year and have just recently started dating a new guy. He’s wonderful—handsome, sweet and kind, with a quiet bashfulness to him that I can’t help but find adorable. New love always has a tendency to remind me of what is really important in any relationship, and what [...]

help a brother out

I know everyone has very busy lives to lead, but long story short – a great publication and advocate of indie dance and rock music is in dire need of donations. And while the “economic recession” has hit every industry pretty hard, it has been disastrous for the world of print journalism. If you haven’t [...]

Kiss My Swag

Well I thought that picture would get your attention. While this post is technically about Ciara, and a track off her soon to be released album Fantasy Ride, my interest in Pucker Up is less about the sexy and talented personality in front of the mic and the man behind the boards, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins.
I’m [...]
