(A special thanks for this post idea from our friends over at Foodonia) … Whistling, according to Wikipedia, is “the production of sound by means of carefully controlling a stream of air flowing through a small hole”. “That’s what she said” jokes aside, whistling is not only a form of musical expression, it’s also a mindless [...]

I heard the new Kanye West Album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, at my friend’s house in St. Paul, MN. People around me had praised it and my friend Mindy couldn’t get over how Pitchfork gave it 10 out of 10 stars. I liked it right away. Then I downloaded it. I began to love [...]

This being the case, the last 7 years or so have left us [...]
