Sun Bleached Flies – Ethel Cain

This will be my most streamed song of the year. There aren’t days that I don’t listen to it, and I rarely do so without repeating it several times. The ethereal composition of this specific storyline makes it feel oddly familiar. Each line has me leaning in closer, looking for the bits that feel trueContinue reading “Sun Bleached Flies – Ethel Cain”

Revisiting Back to Black: Just Friends

This installment is part of a retrospective on “Back to Black,” the most acclaimed album of Amy Winehouse who passed away 10 years ago this July. I’ll revisit one track every month in order of their appearance on the album.

This song came into my consciousness at the end of Robyn’s set at the Hollywood Palladium– her first solo show in LA in about eight years. I couldn’t have been happier to be there, and was singingContinue reading “Feature Friday: Kindness Feat. Robyn – Who Do You Love?”

Year’s Over. Everybody Out.

In the late days of December, people reflect. We leverage the accomplishments we’ve made throughout the year against our guilt for whatever we messed up, or didn’t get around to. I can’t get into all that. My poor memory and lack of concern for goal-setting keeps me outside of that mindset. My end of yearContinue reading “Year’s Over. Everybody Out.”
