I like to think that it's because in the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~489398111876 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:28:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_489398111876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_487742738052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - In all honesty, I didn't know if I'd ever hear a new Brandy song again. After the late 2007 car crash that saw one person pass away, I figured she would hang things up and either focus on acting or taking care of her young daughter. While the case was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~487742738052 Fri, 9 Oct 2009 17:18:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_487742738052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_487676284548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - Difference is usually something that I celebrate, especially when it comes to music. As someone who doesn't generally indulge in radio anymore (I cherry pick the songs in the top 40 that I like and ignore the others), any time someone strikes out on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~487676284548 Fri, 9 Oct 2009 03:45:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_487676284548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_486631247492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - I don't drink. I never have, nor do I ever really see myself going down that route. It's not that I have anything morally against it or judge anyone who drinks; on the contrary, after taking into account my family history and other personal factors, the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~486631247492 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:41:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_486631247492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_484830252676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - Hype is a funny thing. On one hand, you want to keep your perspective and become realistic about whatever it is that you're excited about; however, on the other hand, sometimes it's just too hard to contain and you simply have to let it out. While there... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~484830252676 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 12:26:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_484830252676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_484830121604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - As a proud owner of an unusual name, I can relate to the plight of those who have been afflicted with the curse of "how did you get that?" ringing in their ears. There have been times where I wish my mother had named me Joshua or Nathan or something that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~484830121604 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 12:22:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_484830121604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_484829859460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - You know who you are Your love is as sweet as candy I'll be forever yours Love always...Mandy And with that, a guilty pleasure was born.

Seeing that urban culture today is not about leading and more about following whoever's hot at the moment, it's always nice to find someone who just "does them", so to speak. Much more respect goes... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~480614780548 Sun, 9 Aug 2009 16:53:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_480614780548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_480121949828?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - Being a music fan is sometimes a really hard position to hold. You're often expected to fulfill certain stereotypes about the genres you listen to or the artists you support. As a white male in the south, it's automatically assumed that I'll be a fan of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~480121949828 Wed, 5 Aug 2009 08:55:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_480121949828?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_480113757828?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - I really hate group work. When I'm sitting in a class and the phrase group project is uttered, it feels like I just got kicked in the stomach; not only am I terrible at delegating responsibilities but I always end up doing most of the work. Being anal... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~480113757828 Wed, 5 Aug 2009 07:04:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_480113757828?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_479279877764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - What's your favorite album?How could four words, 22 letters, and seven syllables create such a collective headache in music fans?

I know, I write a lot about pop music and admittedly I watch my fair share of reality/celeb-centric shows but underneath it all, I have a disdain for pop stars. I don't have any issue with "artistic credibility" or the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~479230660228 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:38:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_479230660228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_478691888772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - Eight years ago, I was a completely different person than I am now. I was in my early teens and was in the middle of a mini-makeover, both physically and emotionally; I had lost some weight, received a dramatic (in a good way) haircut, and finally got... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~478691888772 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 05:16:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_478691888772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_478105669252?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - In a day and age where image outweighs the quality in terms of actual radio play/promotion, it's always quite refreshing when you see someone who breaks the mold of what a star is "supposed" to look like and showcases a talent that the industry was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~478105669252 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:37:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_478105669252?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470630502020?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - I've always been the type of person that gets a bit skittish about change, especially when it pertains to my appearance. I don't know, I think I'd rather handle the level of criticism about my appearance than do something drastic to change it and have... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~470630502020 Sat, 16 May 2009 18:06:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_470630502020?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470171094660?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - The dust has finally settled from the latest season of MTV's Making the Band, capping off a six month period of time that saw the demise of Danity Kane.

What’s wrong with a handy dandy, all encompassing guide to an act’s career? What’s wrong with a Cliff’s Notes version of an act’s most prominent... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412529102468 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 21:31:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412529102468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_411977748100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - Christmas is and will always be my favorite holiday, no question. I don&#146t know what it is, but there&#146s just something about this season that I always enjoy.

Those three words not only are the first you hear on Kentwood, Louisiana’s own Britney Spears’ first studio album since 2003, but they seem to capture the attitude of the material present as well as the way in which the 26... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~411656556164 Sat, 22 Dec 2007 07:49:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_411656556164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_411528957572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - Now a mere blip on the pop culture radar, the once gargantuan genre of teen pop came about around the time that I first got into music, which has made some of my early music buying choices a tad questionable, let’s say.

Isn&#146t it just perfection when you hear a pretty okay single, talk yourself into buying a record to support a new artist, and it turns out that the CD just, well, sucks? Or, even better, when the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~411179126404 Tue, 18 Dec 2007 05:23:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_411179126404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_400799665796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author insomniac1587 - If you know me well (either on or off the site), you know that I have only one true love.

How you choose to present yourself and (more importantly) how you’re perceived can help determine your stay on the scene, as well as who exactly buys your records.

Yeah, I said it and no, I don&#146t want to take it back.
