Hey everybody!
It's been a while since we've posted, but we haven't been dormant. In fact, we've been busier than ever in terms of writing articles. We're now both editors at the Daily Free Press, Boston University's independent student newspaper, and we're having the time of our lives covering shows/movies, conduction interviews, and more! Lucien is the music editor and Michela is the film & tv editor. A lot of our writing goes here (http://dailyfreepress.com/category/the-muse/) and we've made portfolios of our writings and more!

And as always, thanks for stopping by!
~ Common Ground ~
Deep in the Internet abyss, past the viral videos and all the insufferable memes lies Common Ground, a haven where one can find solace and camaraderie through a shared passion for music. We are simply two college students fascinated by the complexities of music who have decided to put our love for music in words.
