Megan Osborne, Life! Editor April 19, 2015

I have a confession to make, and I’m finally ready to admit it. I like Kanye. A lot. And with Kanye appreciation came a general appreciation for hip-hop, a genre I was previously way too good for. Come...

#MeganMusicMonday: Festival lineups get graded

Megan Osborne, Life! Editor April 5, 2015

It’s here, y’all. Festival season is upon us. The lineups have been dropped (though we’re still waiting on some holes to be filled), and anyone who knows me well knows I’ve been contemplating...
