2009: The Year in Music

nobody@vox.com(.:p o p s c e n e) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:09:33 -0500

Well, here we are...the end of another year, and the end of a decade. I must admit that though I enjoyed some of the music gems that came from the '90s, the '00s have been a much better decade for music in my opinion. The year 2009 by itself wa...

Dissecting Dystopia

nobody@vox.com(.:p o p s c e n e) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 10:29:31 -0400

From a very young age, I’ve had a deep-seated fear of being controlled and having my freedom curtailed. The thought of being held against my will (physically and/or emotionally) brings about such a pervasive feeling of helplessness and hopelessn...

nobody@vox.com(.:p o p s c e n e) — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 18:18:51 -0500

Here we are again...the end of another year, and on the verge of entering the last year of the decade with a hopeful new president. Admittedly, I didn't get a chance to explore music quite as much as I have in previous years due to my retirement...

Berlin und München

nobody@vox.com(.:p o p s c e n e) — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:27:19 -0400

The idea for this trip began last April when my roommate/landlord/good friend Dale Stein (a frequent world traveler) suggested I go visit our mutual friend Dana Brüller in Berlin with him in August. Of course, after the financial centrifuge I'd p...

A Love Letter to New York (Part 1)...

"Ahhh... New York... Aren't ya gonna miss it?" Carrie Bradshaw ushered these very words to the infamous "Mr. Big" in the episode "I Heart NY" from Season 4 of Sex and the City (2001). It couldn't be truer. My love affair with this town spa...

With the F/W 08 shows officially complete (as well as fashion prodigy Christian Siriano crowned as Project Runway’s latest prince), I can now take the opportunity to reflect on the current state of women’s fashion. As I surmised, tops would cont...

First of all, I hope everyone had a great new year. Hopefully, I'll expand the blog in some way during 2008. I'm still in the beta phase, and getting used to having a blog in general. Once I become dedicated, and utilize all the blog's capab...
