In my opinion, there is no such thing as an old classic. There are simply classics that have faded in time, but if they were re-examined, would be considered as amazing and exotic as they first were. Particularly, this philosophy can be used in regards to party tracks or ‘turn-up’ music. The extent to which […]
Since April begins with the lightheartedness of April Fool’s Day, it seems fitting to write a piece about music’s most famous fool, or in this case clown, Pagliaccio. Operas have phased out of popular culture as of late with the rise of musicals as the popular medium of combining theatre and music. This decline is, […]
For when you want to feel human or when you want to feel understood, Glass Animals How To be a Human Being’s collection of stories turned into sound continues to carry a strong power that can heal even two years after its release. The album is part of a cohesive project greater than itself. How to be […]
Have you ever watched a really dope movie that you think the public has slept on? Ever found a really good book that confused you as to why it wasn’t in everyone’s favorite content? Have you ever found a song that was so amazing that you couldn’t fathom the idea of not letting your friends […]
Recently, I’ve felt nostalgia towards the songs that frequently played when I was a kid; those same songs which connect me, my childhood, and family—more specifically, the songs that remind me of the most festive times growing up.

With the Spice Girls announcing their U.K. reunion tour and their spiritual successors Little Mix dropping a buzz track proclaiming that they’re “on that feminist tip,” I’ve been thinking a lot about the history of feminism in mainstream pop music – like, more than usual, which is really saying something for me. In our current […]
You know those songs that make you cringe so hard you wish you could go back in time and make the wise decision to NOT listen..? That’s how this song made everyone feel when it was uploaded back in 2012. If your face looked like this when you first heard “Hot Problems,” you’re not alone. […]
On this day in 2013, BBC Radio 2 took a poll to find listeners’ favorite albums ever released and Coldplay’s “A Rush of Blood to the Head” shot right to the top. It beat bands like The Beatles and Pink Floyd, an impressive feat for the British band. If you don’t know who Coldplay is…what […]
When you’re 16, you can get your driver’s license. When you’re 18, you can vote. What about 17? What’s good about that awkward middle age, when you’re too young to be thought of as an adult but too old to get the privileges of being a child? Well, I’ll tell you what’s so great: YOU’RE […]
