Lately, I have been heavily under the spell of folk, indie rock. This is a big step for me in my musical maturity because I am very narrow-minded in my taste of music. With this being said, I am in love with Wild Sweet Orange and they have easily become one of my favorite bands. There is something... Read more »

I usually try to follow the latest fads and hysteria; however, I have not been impressed by several of the latest pop culture crazes, particularly the Owl City, Jersey Shore and Kid Cudi movements.
