Harry Styles – Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally

I always self describes as “excitable.” I love a movement, or a moment, or a collective sense of enthusiasm. It has been harder and harder to find things that we can all celebrate and enjoy instead of debating, fighting or hating each other over. Harry Styles brings that sense of levity. We belong together. HisContinue reading “Harry Styles – Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally”

It’s Rameses

“I like your friends, Aaron, but I don’t know what Rameses thinks about me. I’m kind of scared of him.” Said the boy I was dating years ago. “You’re right to be.” I said in response. I was introduced to Rameses through our mutual friend Steve, who has somewhere between 75 and 124 close friends.Continue reading “It’s Rameses”

Sing it Saturday: SZA – Supermodel

SZA isn’t a Party gyal, as she Tweeted the night after the SOS album release event. As much as we’ve learned about her since the release of her 2017 opus Ctrl, so much still hangs in ambiguity.

Kanye and Drake take the Coliseum

In a massive double-bill that nobody expected, the two titans put aside their confusing public feud in effort to free long-jailed Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Announced just a few weeks before happening, my immediate reaction was “That’s never going to happen.” Kanye (Now known legally as “Ye”) has aContinue reading “Kanye and Drake take the Coliseum”

2021 – A Year in Songs

We didn’t shake off the societal injuries sustained in 2020 as we had hoped, but many aspects of life returned this year, some bigger and better than ever. Live music exploded (with proof of vax, of course) and many of us flocked to shows, gigs and even festivals at a rapid pace. I was outContinue reading “2021 – A Year in Songs”
