User:17Drew
Previously ShadowHalo. For off-wiki reasons, I recently decided to change my username. The 17 is simply a metasyntactic variable of sorts. I picked it because it's the most random (and as such the least random) number; I realized several hours later that it could be misinterpreted as my age. And Drew's my name.

I spend most of my time on Wikipedia editing music or pop culture articles, checking copyright status information (replaceability, resolution, etc.), and finding free images/getting people to release images freely. I should clarify that the articles I edit aren't at all representative of what I like to listen to. My music touches a little bit of a lot of popular music, from soca and zydeco to rhumba and geek rock. The biggest themes in my collection are pop, ska (generally third or second wave), Latin (pop, rock, and ska), late 70s punk rock/New Wave, hip pop, electronica (big beat, trip hop, and lounge), dancehall/reggae, and swing. My favorite band is No Doubt, so I've done some work with those articles but mostly with Gwen Stefani's since there isn't nearly as much information readily available from 2000 and before. Other artists I listen to would be Alanis Morissette, The Atomic Fireballs, Beyoncé's B'Day, Björk, the Black Eyed Peas, Blondie, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, The Donnas, Elvis Costello, Fatboy Slim, Gotan Project, Juanes, King Changó, Lily Allen, Los Abandoned, Oingo Boingo, Reel Big Fish, Róisín Murphy, Save Ferris, Sean Paul, Shakira, early Smash Mouth, Starpool, Suburban Legends, They Might Be Giants, and Toots and The Maytals.
I'm a rising sophomore at MIT, and I work at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center doing research on how electromagnetic waves interact with ionospheric plasma. Then I come here during some of my free time and write about (mostly frivolous) pop. At this point, I've gotten a bunch of the Gwen Stefani articles to a decent state, so I'm starting to expand out.
My mother's Puerto Rican, and my dad's a non-Hispanic white. Though others disagree. [1][2][3]
