I just moved into a new apartment last week, and finding cheapish furniture has been a chore. Chairs, tables, beds, lamps: There are a lot of things that need go into a house before it stops looking like a hermitage. Since I’ve got domestic wares on the mind, here is a playlist all about the things I’d like to have. The problem?

But I’d like a nice set of Ikea bar... read more

Maybe that's not all today is about, but... read more

It's been a long, winding road for Jimmy Eat World. The emo dudes have turned into monsters of mainstream rock with an unlikely career that's seen them go from scrappy, upstart high-schoolers to the biggest thing since The Continental Baking Co. started making a pastry called the Twinkie. The band also just finished its co-headlining tour with a little group called Paramore. JEW keeps on truckin' and the band has a number of dates lined up for those hot summer days that are oh-so-close. ... read more
