Winter 2014 Editorial Intern As a kid, I liked pretty terrible music. I was quiet, mousy, and weird–that is, until my dad introduced me to the Beatles, the Allman Brothers, and all that classic Rock and Roll. I remain weird, but am now weirdly in love with bands like Sleeping In The Aviary, the Shouting Matches and Man Man (seriously, what are you doing reading this…go check those bands out!). If, for some reason, you decide I am interesting enough to contact, shoot me an email at mamiesilver@gmail.com.
