The 7 People You’ll Meet at Bonnaroo
Bonnaroo, the ultimate music festival, kicks off this Thursday. For those College Candy readers lucky enough to be going, I thought I would take this opportunity to warn you all about the seven people you’ll meet at the festival.
Your Welcome-to-Summer-Break Pre-Party Playlist
As much as I love the last day of classes every school year, I’ll be honest: summer sorta stresses me out. I just never really know what the break will bring. I always worry how painful my summer job or internship might be, if I’ll have to awkwardly hang out with my old high school “friends,” and, of course, there’s always the strong possibility that my parents will drive me absolutely crazy.

When you work out, listening to music is an absolute necessity for keeping your concentration and motivating you. I usually make playlists on my iPod to listen to while I’m running or working out at the gym, but I find myself getting sick of hearing the same songs over and over again, and creating new playlists can get pretty time-consuming.
Guys Who Rock: Steve Ertl
Watch Steve Ertl guy sing. If he doesn’t steal your heart by the pure sound of his voice, then we don’t know what will. Talented, charming… What else can a girl want?
The Guide to Throwing an Awesome House Party
Throwing the perfect house party can be a lot of work and a lot more stress than most people are willing to admit. How much alcohol should you buy? Who should you invite? Is it worth it to make Jello Shots? Or are they a waste of money? While we can’t predict if your invitees will go gaga over a hand-carved ice luge, we can give you the answers to throwing an absolutely awesome house party.
Guys Who Rock: Don Mitchell
Why He Rocks: He’s quirky, funny, and he’s in a band that has a unique sound that you won’t be able to stop listening to.

I love going to concerts, but I always manage to hear about them long after the tickets are sold out. Then I spend weeks hearing about how excited my friends are to see and another few weeks listening to them gush about how amazing was live.

Around the Web

Put This on Your iPod: Cut Copy’s Zonoscope
Rarely do I get albums based off a random review I find on the internet. Ironic? Yes, but I usually wait until one of my friends has the album and I can listen to it or hear good things from them before I buy. Well, last Tuesday that all changed. While I was perusing the interwebs I came across a review for Cut Copy’s Zonoscope that piqued my curiosity.
Guys Who Rock: Ricardo Munoz
Boys, boys, boys. Here at CollegeCandy, we love them. Like, a lot. And being that we have a lot of time on our hands to search for them on the web, we thought we’d use it to our advantage and yours and bring you a little eye candy that not only makes us drool but also tug at our heartstrings. So here’s your chance to meet some of the most talented guys in the world. Seriously, they rock. Like, for real.
Put This on Your iPod: Belle and Sebastian Write About Love
To be honest, I’ve always been a little torn about Valentine’s Day. For me it’s kind of like communism; while great in theory, it almost never works in the execution. Considering last year I got two Snickers bars from my now-ex (gee, I wonder why), I don’t have high hopes for Valentine’s Day, but I’m not a complete Cupid-hater either.
Ricky Martin Releases New Album, We Rediscover His Old One
Livin la Vida Loca? Nobody Wants to Be Lonely? Remember these hits? They just might have been your favorite songs once upon a time. Remember who sang them? Well, you might just be singing his songs again.
Web Spy: We Are Hunted
I think I have some sort of music ADD. When I first discover a new band or singer I like or get a new album, I’ll listen to it nonstop until I eventually get burned out by it. That’s why I’m always looking for new music, either through what I hear on the radio, recommendations from friends, or of course, the internet.

The Biggest Songs of 2010 Playlist
2010 is officially coming to a close and what a year it’s been in music! This year presented us with an awesome array of new artists, re-introduced us to some ones we may have forgotten about, and of course, left some songs in our heads we wish we would never have to hear again. So let’s take a look back and rock out to the 20 biggest songs of 2010. (It’s like my own little Grammy’s!!)
