This year marked my fourth year covering GRAMMY week as part of the Recording Academy’s Community Blogger program. With last year’s GRAMMYs being the most social event of the year, the stakes were higher for our team this year. It’s been very cool to be a part of this ongoing effort to make an awards [...]
January 29, 2013 | I spoke with GRAMMY-nominated producer Jay Ruston in his studio about his career, and specifically, about his work on the GRAMMY-nominated album Worship Music by Anthrax.
I recently started watching Girls. Even though I’m almost 10 years older than the characters in the show, I can commiserate in my delayed adulthood. The show makes me sad-laugh. It’s a true statement of the era; I mean, when I was their age, the show about life as a post-college girl was Sex and [...]

Well, we survived Doomsday. I pulled into valet at The Rainbow, taking the last spot available. After dropping by the Key Club to catch Bonded By Blood and Midnight with some friends, I traipsed down the Strip in my goth Barbie attire to an entirely different, yet equally as familiar scene: Camp Freddy‘s annual holiday [...]

I took a wrong turn and am flying around the hills in an unfamiliar part of LA blasting “Over the Mountain”. I’m on my way to the world premier of the documentary about Randy Rhoads’ years in Quiet Riot, dressed in a bright red blazer and shoes with little bows on them in a tribute [...]
I have this thing where I’m really attracted to stuff that both excites me and freaks me out. So when, this summer, my friends and I decided to go on this metal cruise called Barge to Hell….to my friends all dropping out….to months passing with little thought of it or announcements of new bands on [...]
First I had Henry Rollins tickets, and then Dethklok/Machine Head was announced. Got those, and then Soundgarden was announced. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a concert going girl’s good problems. SG tickets were obtained, my Murmaider costume a distant memory. My love for SG runs long and deep; last year I nearly died at their [...]
It is rare that a day passes where I don’t question my entire existence. I had always driven by the Silent Theater and pondered going. Tonight as I walked inside, alone, I felt exactly like I did in elementary school. Where can I find the chair that shrouds me the most from people realizing that [...]
