The Retronaut You Need to Meet
There's a blog I'm readily going to express my love for here. Say hello to The Retronaut! This gem of a website has the most fascinating posts that portray human history in a very intimate, interesting sort of manner. This is NOT your elementary history class, or even your stodgy college one. It's the pop culture we had almost forgot about. One particular "time-capsule" that holds a special place in my heart is Celebrities and Their Vinyl. Being a music nutcase as I am, these photos of influential people having a personal moment with music resounds to be shared. So, fellow TwentySomethings, enjoy the Retronaut, and feel free to share some other sites that strike a chord with you!

Incubus!
For as long as there has been a moon and a sun, or at least as far as my knowledge of those existing has been around, I have housed a very enthusiastic love for the band Incubus. Their music has gotten me through many life moments and the song "Drive" has an inexpressible amount of importance to me. I firmly believe everyone should discover a song that connects with them in an intellectual and deep way. Having a bad day? Song time. Having a great day? Song time. Eating an ice cream cone and it's melting all over your pants? Song time.
Needless to day, "Drive" is my go-to song. When I hosted my campus radio show at WRFW --www.pureradio887.com...check it out, it's the right choice for radio :) -- there was always an Incubus song of the day, usually preceded by my suddenly over the top excitement for the next artist in the line-up.
I'm a music advocate and eager concert-goer, but have yet to attend an Incubus concert. Turns out the band is about to launch on tour again to promote the drop of a new album. This leads to one very excited educated female. The kicker--those tickets to the closest concert (Chicago) are not in the realm of affordable. Since I missed their tour in 2009 I've been awaiting this announcement...and here I am, unable to attend because of the tightness of my recently graduated wallet. The irony, the agony, the angst! Alright, that was a little dramatic, but I have a point to drive home before curfew, here.
I want to see Incubus. The chance is there, the odds are stacked against it happening. What's a girl to do?
