SOTD: ‘The Secret Life of Me’ — Waterparks
I’ve put off writing about this for over a month, though every day I’ve wanted to. I could never find the right words to say. And even now, I’m struggling. But I’m gonna try anyway. Just like any human, I go through phases. I was deep into the Waterparks fandom for a while, but ultimate took a break, ironically, right around the time their third … Continue reading SOTD: ‘The Secret Life of Me’ — Waterparks
The best cover songs of all time (playlist)
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If you do something great, people will start to copy it because they think it’s great, too. Sometimes people will put their own spin on it and it’ll turn out amazingly. Sometimes it’ll turn out horribly. Other times, it’ll turn out so well that everyone thinks that version is better than yours, or worse– they’ll forget … Continue reading The best cover songs of all time (playlist)

SOTD: How Far We’ve Come — Matchbox Twenty
I decided to take my once-daily 5 minute scroll through Twitter today and was bombarded with news of an eye of fire in the ocean. An eye of fire. The ocean is on fire. Okay, it’s a little (a lot) more complicated than that, but it’s still crazy to think about, especially considering how messed up everything else in the world seems to be. It … Continue reading SOTD: How Far We’ve Come — Matchbox Twenty
Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth release ‘Utopian Ashes’ — Album Review
We’re martyrs in a marriage,In a war we’re gonna lose. From “Remember We Were Lovers” Primal Scream lead Bobby Gillespie partners with Jehnny Beth of Savages fame on the release of their collaborative effort, Utopian Ashes. At its core, Utopian Ashes is an album depicting two sides of a conceptualized relationship falling apart. The narrative is entirely imagined. It’s not real. At first blush, that … Continue reading Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth release ‘Utopian Ashes’ — Album Review
July/2021 Playlist
Summer may technically start on the solstice each year, but I think we can all agree that summer really starts at the beginning of June. If you’re like me and absolutely detest all things sweltering, summer can be a bit of a struggle. Frizzy hair, annoyingly loud air conditioners, and worst of all– the relenting reminder that you can’t wear your favorite hoodie for months. … Continue reading July/2021 Playlist
December 2020 (non-Christmas) playlist
Ah, the holiday season is upon us. From the somehow always controversial Starbucks cups, to the obligatory ugly sweater Zoom parties you need alcohol to get through, there’s no escaping the potentially-forced merriment surrounding the month of December. It’s the one time each year dedicated to giving, decorating, and listening to Michael Bublé. But 2020 has been a struggle, and if you’re not feeling the … Continue reading December 2020 (non-Christmas) playlist
What if Fire Emblem characters were playlists?
What if Fire Emblem: Three Houses took place in modern times? What music would the characters listen to? It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me, but over the past year, I have accumulated an obscene amount of hours playing Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Think of a number of hours and double it. It still wouldn’t be high enough. Being the music/gaming … Continue reading What if Fire Emblem characters were playlists?
Album releases you missed this year (plus the ones coming later in 2020)
The world is a complicated mess right now, unloading more stress and anxiety into our lives every day. Much to our (very understanding, yet bummed) dismay, bands are postponing tour dates and album releases, leaving much of the music world in a near standstill. At least, that’s how it seems. With such uncertainty in our lives, it’s very understandable if you’ve kinda tuned out and … Continue reading Album releases you missed this year (plus the ones coming later in 2020)
