About Me

Carrie Tucker was a staff writer for Sonicnet.com during the dotcom boom, which she blames for everything wrong in American corporate culture today. (The dotcom boom, not Sonicnet.) She’s currently a contributing writer for Anthem and Filter magazines, as well as the style editor for Alternative Press magazine, exploring the shadowy depths of cultural uprisings like web-show Pancake Mountain, the relevance of neon for summer, and bands that are so underground they can’t even reveal their real names for fear of death. With over a decade of experience in marketing, PR, and writing for the music industry (Giant/Warner Bros.) and lifestyle brands like Paul Frank and etnies, “youth culture” (shudder) is intrinsic in Tucker’s very being – no matter how much she may not want it to be. Tucker currently lives in New York with her video game-addicted boyfriend and their French bulldog Walter Cronkite. Turn-offs include Styrofoam packing materials, the misuse of its vs. it’s and there vs. their, cronyism, and the Internet. Turn-ons are red meat, Victorian nightgowns, haunted houses, and boxing matches.
