ere’s the deal, I am a big lover of art, street art in particular. I really don’t know what it is that draws me to this rebellious art form. Maybe it’s the secretive nature of the artists. Or maybe it’s the jabs they take at modern society. Or it could be I just like interesting pictures. Whatever it may be, I find myself hooked and looking at every street corner in LA for new, interesting art.

I didn’t get my first CD player until I was in 6th grade but the minute I did I ran to the nearest Sam Goody store to snag my copy of the Clueless soundtrack.

Big Hair, Big Style, Big Talent Amy Winehouse RIP
Paying homage to the hottest of messes. We all know 27 is an ominous year for rock stars. It seems a good number of them have cut their careers and lives short 27 years into the game by way of heroine and booze. It’s always the ones with the most talent, the most to say, that go. There’s no getting around it, it’s a total bummer. When Amy Winehouse added her name to the 27 Club roster, I was sad though not surprised. She traveled a rocky road, which is probably what made her songs cut to the bone. She was a true talent and a tortured soul and I will miss her very much.....
