Ah, Australia. The Land Down Under. That place you think of when discussing varieties of deadly animals. Not necessarily, however, among the first countries that comes to mind when you think of rock music. But perhaps it should be.

Oh, Spotify. The go-to platform for music streaming that everyone loves to hate, but no one seems to do anything about. “Pay artists more!” we cry. “Improve your audio quality!” we exclaim. The brand remains silent – but what could possibly force the streaming giant to bend? Answer: Joe Rogan. For those blissfully unaware of […]
It seems that everyone has a record player these days. I think I personally know more people with record players than Nintendo Switches at this point, though I’m not sure if that says more about the state of the music industry or the people I choose to spend time with. In any case, records have […]

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 […]
Portland superstar releases his newest work, Limbo. There is something that needs to be said about Aminé: He is as underrated as they come!

For example, rap has artists like Tierra Whack, Ugly God, and Kanye to represent its eccentricity. Rock, Alternative, Pop, and Hip-Hop are all considered genres where being eccentric can be embraced […]
“Theater-in-the-round” (also known as an arena stage) has its roots in Greek rituals, only later transitioning into early theater. The audience was a much of a part of the performance as those in the center, and the priests (and later performers) would feed off the energy of the crowd. So it’s only fitting that Panic! […]
In light of many recent events, Kanye West has gotten a bit of a bad rep. This is not to say that he has not earned the controversy sparked by his statements, but it is not to say that his legacy should be tarnished either. He is a musician -a famous musician- and I understand […]
