Three Musicians Who Changed The Face of Jazz
You know, it’s a funny thing to be dedicated to a particular genre of music and listen to all the misconceptions that someone on the outside of that genre firmly believes in.

This Sounds Like: Adele?
I’m one of those lucky people who gets to walk to work. In fact, I walk a lot of places nowadays (walking is the new fixie bike — I’m starting the trend right now!).

How. can. I. manage. all.. this… CLUTTER?!? If you live in a capitalist society, the gradual accumulation of minimally useful crap might be driving you crazy.
