The Romantic Era: From Erie, PA

So the Romantic Era, a promising young band from Erie, PA (fun fact: I grew up a block away from 3 of the band members) has just put out their new album on iTunes! They have shared the stage with the likes of Jason DeRulo, Andy Grammer (check him out too btw) and We The Kings. They call themselves "powerpop" or "high-voltage rock," whichever you prefer! I prefer "powerpop" because it has the legacy of stuff like Cheap Trick, The Cars and Weezer.

Their live shows are pretty energetic affairs; the band confesses a "passion" for the original songs they play- "that contain an instant fun feeling." and speaking of the band, here they are:

Connor Kimball - vocals
Alan Dingfelder- guitar
Ben Griffith- drums
Bryant Kimball- bass
Colin Kimball- keyboard

The band also acknowledges that, well being six good-looking bachelors, they've gained a following through that as well. Ain't nothing wrong with that! Laydiez.

They regularly headline local rock venues throughout the greater Erie region- Forward Hall, the Metropolitan, you name it. And locally, they've sold some 2000 demos. But I think, with the advent of their music being on iTunes, I think that's about to change. I think that's about to get a lot bigger. Am I right? Of course I am! LISTEN:

so check these boys out and give their album a download. I think they will find themselves expanding out of the Erie scene and nationally very, very soon.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist. "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members or stress over where to eat Christmas dinner. Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
