Review: JamBando!
I gotta make sure to include the fact that neither Sunny or I had ever been to The Plaza Theatre before, but what a cool friggin venue! It reminds me of the old Wills Pub, how theres a completely separate area to listen to music and you could check out all of the arts and crafts booths in the lobby without even checking out the ...

Chapter 3 – Stockholm

Question:
Would you want to smack ME or your co-worker for saying "Top o' the mornin to ya" more?
Go with the co-worker, since i'm sure they've already gotten to you, followed up with a pukey, cheesy laugh.
Xander here. Dude, i've been a little on the busy side trying to throw about 900 hooks in the water, trying to catch ...
Album Review: Angels and Airwaves
First off, let me take the criticism that i'm absolutely certain to get for saying this: I am a HUGE Blink 182 and AvA fan. Yeah, yeah... I know... "You hate auto-tune, but you love the undisputed king of it?"
