I enjoy music. I am a video producer and writer!
While visiting the Frogtown Flea Market recently, I found myself sitting outside at Zebulon, sipping a delicious Diet Coke and scrolling through Zebulon's upcoming show calendar to see if anything looked groovy. One promo photo stopped me in my tracks: it was of The Side Eyes, a band
Going to the beach is one of the best things in life. My ideal beach strategy in NYC involved packing snacks (some combination of healthy [hummus/vegetables, or simply some fruits] and unhealthy [sea salt kettle chips for a meta flavour experience]) and a flask of vodka, going to Coney
I moved to Los Angeles five weeks ago, and I still kind of can't believe it. I am a New York City garbage weed that has been transplanted into the California chapparal, every day is all smiley-faced sun and taco trucks and cacti on every street corner. I
When I saw Macon, Georgia rapper jak the act sharing his new album in the Alternative's Discord, I was intrigued. I pressed play on the opening track "Have A Seat" and after a twinkling, tour guide intro, he went in: "Named one of my cats

Fall Out Boy released a new rendition of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" today. Is this a tongue-in-cheek joke band ploy a la Weezer's cover of "Africa"? A cheap grab at social media watercooler chatter status that will
I was texting with my friend Matthew recently about Harry Styles. I was saying it was hard to imagine Harry putting out a song as horny in lyrical content and as aggressive in musical composition as "My Sharona" — our friend Sean's tweets about "My Sharona&
Well it wouldn't be a Monday morning if I didn't wake up early to write my stray thoughts on The Idol. The more I think about it, the more I feel like this might be the most perfect television show out there. A mere five episodes,
I've been a big fan of the artist formerly known as Juiceboxxx for years now. He publishes one of the sickest music blogs out there (John's Music Blog, literally located at musicblog.substack.com), and he's been putting out bright, sincere, super-catchy "underdog
Someone went viral yesterday for tweeting a complaint about a "local opener" for a Boygenius show in Toronto, a band "full of the literal men they are parodying." As someone else pointed out, the band in question is Broken Social Scene, a popular band that has
