Make Me Young Again
Even with their current single sitting at the number one spot on the charts, Tragic Kingdom’s resident faves Neon Trees are prepping the release of their 2nd single, 1983. The song, from their album Habits – and if you don’t have this album on your iPod yet, consider yourself ejected from the Tragic Kingdom – is going to have an incredible video to accompany it next week. Judging by the teaser trailer posted below, the video will remain true to the Tim Burton-esque feel from the first video and is taking notes from one of my all time favorite movies, the 80’s classic “Big”. If you haven’t seen it, stop…

Glee’s season premiere ended with this: Need I say more? This is going to be an epic television event, one the Tragic Kingdom will certainly be tuning in for… I wonder how long baked goods last.

The True Meaning of Photoshop
In a world of botox, injections, and lifts, it seems photoshop editing is getting quite redundant. Doesn’t it? When I get an artist’s latest album artwork in my inbox, I now must proceed with caution. The artists, who spend thousands on stylists, make up, and hair products, are wasting their money. The product is so touched up, the subjects are hardly recognizable. And the latest victims of this over-treatment is the latest crop of Christmas albums prepping release (yes, I am talking to you Mariah Carey – I couldn’t even bring myself to put that up here, but I am sure with a simple Google search, you’ll find it).
