The first time I ever heard Coldplay was a couple weeks before high school started. I had snuck in through the basement of the house where my then-girlfriend was babysitting. We were watching MTV2 in the master bedroom. Awkwardly snuggled up on a mountain of duvet covers we [...]

Staff Writer: Brita Thompson
If you’ve seen the previews to this film, wherein thousands upon thousands of dancing and singing CGI Chihuahuas swarm over an Aztec pyramid, you’re probably looking forward to this film being an immensely expensive mess.

The past two days have been an insane musical overload, I’m more tired than I’ve ever been and I’m pretty sure I’ll be partially def for the rest of my life but it was all well worth it. I came back from the Treasure Island Music Festival with a long list of new [...]
