Rainy Saturdays

New favorite site: Deli Magazine

I've been a pop princess since '96. I bought my first TLC CD (crazysexycool), played it in my bright yellow Walkman and walked around the city like the biggest b.a.m.f. in the 5th grade (bad ass mother-f***). Then boy-bands (BSBluv4lyfe! + Lance Bass crush = middle school in a nutshell) came onto the scene & Britney too. It was NOT cool to like pop in my high school, at least with my friends, so I tried to stifle my love for all things MTV & top-40 radio and adopt cooler obsessions: Old school pop. Marvin, The Beatles, Al Green... (This ties in to The Deli NYC, trust!)

Okay so 1/2 the reason I loved pop is because it was so accessible, its on EVERYWHERE. Thanks to You Tube & MySpace indie music is accessible, but with all the options out there how's a pop-princess supposed to know what she likes? In comes the Deli, with lists of small-venue local concert dates, links to band websites, links to venue websites, band interviews & party info it has everything you need for your hipster/indie conversion. Dark skinnies, buffalo plaid jackets, & peroxide blond dye not included.
