Art by Molly Go to the comment section of any video from your favorite YouTube musician.

I woke up totally terrified that I didn’t get the job because they thought I was some oversize kindergartner who … Continue reading »
Really, what I mean is nobody should think they couldn’t learn an instrument. The world has never been smaller than it is today because of that endless resource of information and cavernous well of procrastination known as the Internet. It can be used as a powerful tool to get you over the hump of learning … Continue reading »
Yeah, I saw Les Mis. And yeah, I’m one of those life long fans who saw it on stage at an impressionable age and sided heavily with Eponine and her beautiful pangs of unrequited love. So of course I loved the film. Samantha Barks killed it with that rain-soaked rendition of “On My Own.” Hell, she … Continue reading »
