Shout out to 2011. What a year. Aside from countless amazing nights and days, a summer in Iowa City, another awesome trip to Austin, vacations in Massachusetts and Florida, roadtrips, stronger friendships, lasting post-college friendships, all of the incredible people in my life, and the fact that what I thought could have been horrible/life-ending (moving back in with the rents) actually turned...

To begin this list, let me just say that this year, all of my favorite bands (except for KOL, get better soon Caleb bb) we’re like, hey, we’re going to put out albums and make Rachel very happy. One after another they kept releasing albums and to finish off the year, the Black Keys topped it off with a great album. (As if it could have been bad…HA) I feel very strongly about the...

“Find what you want. Bow down your head. And work for it.”
– I wish I could directly quote what my boss said at tonight’s work xmas (er, holiday) party but that’s the gist of it. And for me, hearing someone who’s been at it for 30+ years tell me to suck it up and push on basically was oddly inspiring. Cheers to patience and working hard to...

I found this to be really really touching. Doing something good for someone else always makes you feel good - but when when you do something good, don’t tell anyone about it, remain anonymous, and make sure the person you did the good deed for didn’t see you, it’s a whole other experience.

I wish I could put into words what a freaking MASTERPIECE I think “Little Black Submarines” off El Camino (the new black keys album duh) is. Off the whole album, that is definitely my favorite. Literally my face melts each time i listen to it.
Stream that song & a few of the others (Gold On The Ceiling is damn good too) prior to the release on 12/6 by signing up for their...
