Say Hello to America’s Fashion Police
Date: September 17, 2007
Starting fifteen or so years ago, baggy pants really came into style in the United States. And, as one might expect from baggy pants, they’re also saggy pants. This used to prove to be a source of great amusement for my mother and myself, as we watched dozens of “gantsta cool” young men hobble around, with their pants sagging past the edge of their boxers, sometimes even to the middle of their backside or beyond. Believe me, it’s very comical to watch an already awkward teenager try to smoothly yank up his breeches to avoid total embarrassment. Sadly, this bad taste is beginning to be outlawed. Yes, outlawed. Take a look.

MP3 Thursday: Universal Hall Pass
Date: September 13, 2007
Been a while since I’ve written one of these, as I’ve had difficulty finding good, unknown music; I’ve also been busy. But here’s a real gem, Universal Hall Pass. Hailing from Atwater Village, California, Universal Hall Pass is refreshingly original sounding. The band features the vocals of Melissa R. Kaplan, formerly of Boston’s popular electronic pop group Splashdown. I really like Kaplan’s voice. It is the right balance of crystal clear pop and ethereal electronica. You’ll find the tunes sink in, inspire and become a part of you.
