This blog is born of a New Year's resolution challenging myself to write every day. My goal is to regularly update this space with short music reviews—mainly songs, as that seems most manageable, but hopefully some albums as well—in order to exercise my skills of artistic critique (and perhaps expand my own sonic horizons in the process).

"Live While We're Young" One Direction
How does one rebel against teen pop stardom without losing an ounce of mom-approved accessibility? Just ask the adorable British moppets of One Direction. "Live While We're Young," the lead single from their second studio album (what, already?!), Take Me Home, is another bouncy guitar ditty...full of barely-veiled references to having a one-night stand with a stranger. Lines like "I know we only met/but let's pretend it's love" are not exactly appropriate for the group's core audience, but they'll pass right over the heads of tween girls too busy rocking out to the rousing "woah oh ohs." The rest of us will just have to look past the inherent skeeviness—or miss out on some awesome cowbell. B
