Bloggers for a Cure.
Quoth Spider-Man: “with great power comes great responsibility.” While claiming a blog as power might seem silly on some levels, when one considers that this blog, a tiny little blip in the world of blogging, recieves between 1,000-2,000 hits a day, one realizes the kind of power that lies in their hands.

No, really.
I know, I know. Things have been really quiet here at T-Sides, and believe me, it’s not for a lack of caring — I still want you to read this, I still want you here! It’s largely that I’m busy, and it’s hard for me to settle down and write things with as long as...
The Week in Rock Roundtable: Week Four
Here are your links for last week’s the Week in Rock Roundtable: Part 1: where we discuss Prism (“the Canadian Toto”) and Tony “Huge in Germany” Carey Part 2: where we discuss Peter “wants to be in the J Geils band” Wolf, even more Robert Plant and Live (“Could Live Get More Punchingly Earnest Than...
Stay Tuned
Fear not, T-Sides it not dead! Some friends from Seattle are staying with me, so I’ve been busy. But I have plans for future entries, so take my word that they are on the way. In the meantime, here are a few things you should check out: 1. If you haven’t already, get caught up...
The Week in Rock Roundtable: Week Three
I got so caught up in my excitement for St. Patrick’s Day that I completely forgot to link out to last week’s Week in Rock Roundtable. Last week, John from Lost in the ’80s joined, along with Gary from Media Hound and Will from Bullz-Eye. Don’t ask me what the current participant count is, because...
Lost MP3(s) of the Week: “You Only Live Twice”
I love James Bond movies. And when I say “James Bond movies,” I mean the ones starring Sean Connery. Maybe I’m just an old fashioned kind of girl, but in my eyes, no man has been able to so much as hold a candle to Sean Connery’s Bond. Bond debate aside, one thing most Bond...
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
As someone with red hair, people are often surprised that I’m Irish (actually, I’m not entirely kidding when I say that). What generally does surprise people, though, is that I’m not big on music in the style of the mother country. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve never been a fan of that...
Amy Winehouse & The Pipettes @ Bowery Ballroom, Tuesday, March 13th
In late November, early December, one of my co-workers started playing a song over and over again that had the catchiest hook of “they tried to make me go to rehab / I said ‘no, no, no.'” It was sung by a woman with a deep, exotic voice that was accompanied by a dance-rhythmed brass...
The Week in Rock Roundtable: Week Two
There’s been so much Week in Rock Roundtable goodness going on! Firstly, the second installment from last week’s discussion can be read here. On the chopping block: Journey, The Firm, Robert Plant, Aerosmith. Secondly, two more people came on board for this week’s bantering: Dave M. from Bullz-Eye, and Michael from Down with Snark! This...
Prince Half-Time Show possibly responsible for turning Audience members Gay
It’s highly likely that most of you have seen these by now, but the Smoking Gun has a plethora of letters from viewers concerned about the subject matter that Prince’s performance supposedly represented (a cigar is never just a cigar, right?). Here are a few highlights: “CBS Sports producers knew, that when the former penist...
Lost MP3 of the Week: Tupac, “So Many Tears”
When it comes to the battle of great rappers of the ’90s, I don’t like to take sides in the Biggie vs. Tupac argument. As a West Coaster, I grew up being much more familiar with Tupac’s music, but can certainly appreciate Notorious B.I.G. A couple weeks ago, I saw an amazing documentary called Bastards...
