This past Saturday, I attended the Virgin Mobile Freefest 2010 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD.

Of course, just…

Atari Teenage Riot at Sonar 9.24.10
This past Friday, I saw Atari Teenage Riot at Sonar. I was really excited. I saw them almost 13 years ago at the 930 Club in DC (yes, I have been attending concerts since I was young), and thought they were awesome. But part of me wondered, as an adult, if my perception of their…
Awesome children’s music
I’m a big fan of some children’s music that has emerged over the past few years. You have Yo Gabba Gabba, which was created by the singer of the Aquabats and features some awesome indie artists singing songs to help educate children and stimulate their imagination.

This chick is only 17 and impressive
Gabriella Cilmi is an Australian singer and is only 17 years old. Apparently, she was 16 when her album came out (and was a huge hit) in Australia and Europe. She sounds awesome and she’s gorgeous. I’ll be buying the album when it comes out here in the U.S. Gabriella Cilmi – Sweet about me

Candlebox – Saturday, July 14. Winger fans getting a hard time.
A week ago, I saw Candlebox perform at the Recher Theatre in Towson, MD. To be honest, I wasn't their biggest fan. I didn't hate them, either. I was going because my boyfriend (Joey)'s birthday was that week. He loves them, so I bought us tickets. Well, I'm glad I went! I didn't realize just…

Lullaby versions of rock songs
This may sound weird, but there are these Rockabye Baby! CDs I discovered by accident on iTunes that are really good!

Women in Rock, Groupies in Rock
Wow, I was looking through my computer and going through old files. I came across this long “editorial” or whatever you want to call it. I don’t think I’ve ever posted this, so here it is. Keep in mind that while I still feel the same way, a lot has changed in my life since…
