AUTHOR: Carrie Tucker (New York, NY) has been a staff writer for SonicNet. com and MTV.com, as well as a current contributing writer to Anthem and Filter magazines. Exploring the shadowy depths of cultural uprisings like the Web show Pancake Mountain, and new designers and bands that are so underground they can't ever reveal their real names for fear of death, Tucker (a selfproclaimed nerd) has stared right into the eyes of COOl and refuses to blink. Possessing more than a decade of experience in marketing and PR-writing for the music industry and lifestyle brands like Paul Frank and etnies, youth culture is intrinsic of Tucker's very being. Tucker currently lives in New York with a boyfriend (a fellow nerd) who works at Rockstar Video Games.
