The band didn’t feel comfortable with the decisions the record labels were making for them so they set out to produce their own album and on June sixth, their dream became a reality as their latest album was released.
It’s no secret that Internet culture has produced an obsession with fame, but how far would you go to get your 15 minutes?
We all have been on a trip once in a our lives and have forgotten something that you thought was so important there is no way you could forget it. It is a total bummer to arrive at your destination and be missing a necessary part of your daily life because you absentmindedly left it in the kitchen, or you were in a rush and weren’t going to pack it until the last minute because you knew you’d use it before leaving. It’s funny how these things work out in life.
Maybe you’ve seen it all over the Internet over the past two months. Phrases like ‘Eat the rude,’ and ‘Fannibals’ have proliferated throughout the Web as the T.V. show “Hannibal” gained a loyal fan base and was renewed for a second season. Perhaps you’ve heard of the infamous Dr. Hannibal Lecter from the T.V. show or the movies “Red Dragon,” “Silence of the Lambs," “Hannibal” or “Hannibal Rising.” If you’re considering taking on the series, I recommend starting with the very first book, “Red Dragon.”
Last month, Microsoft revealed the Xbox One, its newest iteration into the Xbox home console series. Its reception?

Cody Wilson is a 25-year-old University of Texas law student, self-proclaimed market anarchist and co-founder of the arms manufacturing company Defense Distributed.

When Claire Boucher (aka electronic pop artist Grimes) announced on her Tumblr that her world tour and album cycle were over, it wasn’t a friendly goodbye. The post, brimming with repetition of a world she did not wish to be a part of, surprised me because as the poster child for not giving a damn, Boucher wasn’t supposed to let an industry (whether music or fashion) and its preconceptions get to her.
