An Ode to Obscenities
So as our collective summers escalate and our general resolve weakens, these posts will, likewise, become less frequent.
Eff that, I say.
WHAT? K you can’t swear here. This is the extraordinarily professional world of blogging/college radio. That kind of language will not be tolerated!
Oh, except for today. Today is a day I hereby dedicate to all the songs we cannot—or at least,...
An Ode to Hipsters or Pedophiles →
I’m convinced that while Kendra actually posts musical updates that enhance the FDLFBH radio show, I make this blog extremely irrelevant and cluttered with owl pictures and websites. While this link has nothing to do with my favorite, wide-eyed creature, it does have to do with our other favorite topic (hence the actual name of Fiddle Fib) - hipstas.
Enjoy the creepy Brad Pitt and Drew...
An Ode to New Obsessions
Not one, BUT TWO new musical obsessions. (And tumblr spam of my own)
1. “Song Away” by Hockey - Not only does the video feature the lovable, big-nosed Paul Rust from “I Love You Beth Cooper” dancing in a frat party setting and falling in love with his nerdy Asian counterpart…the song is also pretty freakin’ sweet. Rock out 80’s style.
2. “Tell...
An Ode to Oh My God This is Great
Did you watch the video below?
Well, here’s the track, if you have ears and appreciate them and want to give them the ride of a lifetime. I don’t know if it’s the vaguely riotgrrl mid 90s thing or the fact that she’s Swedish or the dance moves that I so badly want to learn—nay, embody—but this is officially my song of the month.
GO AHEAD BLACK KEYS, PROVE ME...

An Ode to More Fail
I’m blaming such immense fail on summer mush brains. K’s not the only one to put off writing a full-length review on Pollen Pit, I saw Corinne Bailey Rae at Philly’s TLA like two weeks ago and have still not posted a review. So here it is!
An Ode to Corinne Bailey Rae and Devoted Fans
Things have most certainly changed since the last time I saw Corinne Bailey Rae. For starters,...

An Ode to Failed Passion Pit Reviews
I was going to write about Thursday’s Passion Pit show at Wellesley College, but maybe it was the sheer volume of estrogen present, maybe it’s the fact that Wellesley and my hometown have the longest running non-consecutive high school football rivalry in the country, maybe it’s the oak pollen yet to extricate itself from my lungs.
Whatever the reason, I just don’t feel...

An Ode to Hodge Podges
I’ll have a Passion Pit review up shortly. Very shortly, given most things academic have ceased until the fall, and yours truly has precisely zero thinking to do between now and the next interview she may or may not get to do.
Until then, 3 tidbits:
1) Enjoy A’s owl in a box. She loves owls. Owls are great. Dumb as hell but massively fluffy and LOOK AT THOSE EYES.
2) Selleck,...
Owl in a Box
This has nothing to do with music. Maybe you can hum a little diddy while looking at these pictures to make it more relevant. Otherwise, this is “Owl in a Box.” Hoot.

An Ode to Throwing Parties, Knives, and Rockin’...
(Photo stolen from Lauren Young, my friend Anna’s roommate who saw Los Camps the following day in NYC.)
Here is my week-delayed, procrastination-causing Los Camps review!
I will start this review with a confession: I’m okay with guitar-faces. Having an unhealthy obsession with John Mayer, one must be able to separate from those sometimes uncomfortable and just plain weird expressions he makes...
