Loved and Loathed in 2009
I come to you on the eve of a new decade, the Year 2010 with our Second Annual Loved and Loathed list! Much has changed here at Tastes Like Caramel since writing the 2008 list. We’ve completely moved the site to a new server, redesigned entirely and found our writing style/voice. Looking back at 2009, [...]

Last night, after being in the states for less than 24 hours, Friendly Fires played a random private party for Fred Perry at SPIN New York…and you can trust Tastes Like Caramel was there for all of the fun! It was our first time at the venue which played host to a ping pong event [...]
The MTV Video Music Awards are on Tonight
I’ll be tuning in right after the True Blood Finale but just a reminder that tonight is the annual MTV Video Music Awards circus. Apparently the set list and list of winners has leaked but I won’t be posting it here. Not sure why it was necessary to try and spoil surprises but at the [...]
Lollapalooza Day 3: Friendly Fires, Bat For Lashes, Passion Pit, Cold War Kids, Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, Band of Horses, Jane's Addiction, The Killers
By day 3 of Lollapalooza we’d already experienced mud, cold winds, rain, major sunlight, hours of dancing, and multiple hangovers. However, none of that prepared us for the Sunday, the final day of the festival. After breakfast we headed straight over to Grant Park to secure a barricade spot for Friendly Fires’ 12:30PM set, which [...]

Lollapalooza Day 2: Ida Maria, Chairlift, Arctic Monkeys, Santigold, Glasvegas, Lykke Li & Miike Snow, Diplo, Yeah Yeah Yeahs!
After day 1 of Lollapalooza and day 2 of Chicago nightlife, we did a few touristy things before heading to Grant Park for Ida Maria (we unfortunately missed Miike Snow but heard it was incredible from Digidreams and Cream Team.) Day 2 of Lollapalooza was all about the ladies for me but luckily Jess made [...]
Lollapalooza Day 1: Hey Champ, White Lies, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Depeche Mode!
We arrived in Chicago a day early to hit the town and get read for Grant Park bright and early for Friday’s opening day. We were warned about the entry line for opening day, but surprisingly the side entrance moved along pretty quickly. Unfortunately we didn’t make it in time for Hockey’s set at 11:30, [...]
