Profile: I work at Thomson Reuters in NYC and I'm a 2011 graduate of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. I could live off of Ring Pops and cucumbers and I still pay for music. I think tattoos, Chuck Klosterman, Rolling Stone, red pens, day planners and Shakespeare are rad. You can find me on Twitter (@CTrembz).

If Woodstock had a summer of love one night stand with Lilith Fair, their illegitimate lovechild would sound exactly like Metals, the third LP by Canadian artist Feist.
