The University of Houston held it’s annual Glow Party event in Lynn Eusan park on Thursday, August 26, and it was worth the hype. The student organization leaders started getting to work around 6:45, setting up mountains of glow stick necklaces, glasses, and bunny ears on tables around the park. Pizza, soda, and waters got […]
I’ve always loved the rap and hip-hop style of the 90’s and 2000’s. Sadly, I’m too young to have gotten to party to these classic song , but I have more than a few home videos of me and my sister as kids dancing to some of the songs featured on this list. I decided […]
A few weeks ago, while I was researching for my channel ORANGE article, I started thinking about the song “Forrest Gump.” I knew of at least two other songs which sang about Forrest at some point: “Doves in the Wind” by SZA and “All Day” by Kanye West. This got me thinking–how much crossover is there between […]
Are you ready to relive summer, love, and heartbreak with Frank Ocean’s channel ORANGE? Frank Ocean’s 2012 album, channel ORANGE, captures the sickly sweet, tape-recorder nostalgia of summer so exquisitely that I’ve always wanted to do a track-by-track analysis. This album played a huge part in my summer, too. I had good days–beach days, nights […]

After two canceled tours, an album release, and a year of anticipation, indie band Summer Salt has announced their tour dates for this late summer and fall. This musical duo originates from Austin, TX. Summer Salt’s classic, 60s-inspired instrumentals along with their soothing, lilting vocals result in a new sound, best described as a sort […]
As states begin to reopen, bands have finally begun their tours, some having been postponed multiple times over the last year and a half. One of the first major acts to return to the Houston stage is pop-punk group Green Day, along with Fall Out Boy and Weezer. Formed in the late 80’s in northern […]

Let’s dive into “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper“, MF DOOM‘s album, track by track. Daniel Dumile, aka MF DOOM, remains one of the greatest figures of 90’s-2000’s hip hop. With his creative lyrics, dedication to small labels, and collaborations with producers such as Madlib, it’s no surprise his influence extends even to artists such as […]
Since 1909, U.S. copyright laws have granted musicians the right to record their own version of a previously recorded and released song. I think this is truly innovative for artists to add their own creative and original spins. Here are some of my favorites! This booming genre has been around for over 70 decades! […]
Two soundtracks that make me feel “frozen” in time. I will be showcasing my favorite tunes from both movies in the Frozen franchise. Frozen II was being shown on the TV during a recent visit to my dentist and it definitely made the experience less stressful! Watching a movie that I truly enjoy (the […]
Despite lacking the mainstream fanfare that surrounded more recent releases in the genre, Julien Baker has created the magnum opus of the indie-folk singer-songwriter moment with Little Oblivions. Characterized by her trademark dynamic vocals and incisive lyricism, adding interesting production and larger instrumentation, Little Oblivions tells tales of relapse and self-loathing, and the cycle that […]

For my blog debut, let’s dive into Lil Skies’ second official album, Unbothered. Pennsylvania rapper Lil Skies dropped Unbothered on January 22, 2021 with 14 tracks, including 4 previously released singles. The vibrant album cover is reminiscent of a childhood bedroom from the early 2000’s (old TV & lava lamp) and the album itself […]

Last year, Travis Scott set himself apart from other rappers and sought to venture out during a time that was very difficult for artists in general. I put together a list of some of his biggest achievements outside of the music realm. 2020 has come to a close. The year was stressful, depressing, and […]
Whatever I was expecting when I logged into Lombardi’s World, the game was decidedly not that. One Trait Danger is an experimental pop group helmed by Andrew Katz of Car Seat Headrest featuring other members of CSH. They’ve always held an ironic (at least I’m assuming ironic) disdain for major musical publications and a lot […]
