The Divergence

As I enter the dark-and-slightly-dingy room that is Forbes Blackbox, my mind is suddenly assailed. Suddenly assailed by the age-old tales of up and coming bands that I picked up from Wikipedia in ye olde days of high school (when … Read More

Quack Music

I, like Kanye West, take great pleasure in talking about Kanye West. The brilliantly talented, ubiquitous egomaniac is a dual force of unbelievable music and even less believable controversy. Ye’s lyrics are witty, provocative, and complex, sometimes even bordering on … Read More
