David Bowie – Heroes

We really thought we had it, didn’t we? There were palpable collective cultural triumphs in 2024, but it seems like a lot of us fell face first into an unimaginable sense of loss in the last few months of the year. I’ve been ruminating on this song for most of 2024, but it recently slidContinue reading “David Bowie – Heroes”

So Clear – Miya Folick

I feel really lucky to have stumbled across this track. It will be a staple as I move through difficult times, having trouble trusting myself to pull through and not sink into an unrecognizable version of myself who’s incapable of feeling any normalcy. I see messed up things happening to everyone close to me nowContinue reading “So Clear – Miya Folick”

Gwen Stefani – What You Waiting For?

I am so fucking proud of my friend. I’ve known her forever, but it seems like the new chapter that she is about to embark on will make her a new person, so I’m choosing to dedicate this song, and this written piece, to her. In all honesty, this song evokes weirdly mixed feelings forContinue reading “Gwen Stefani – What You Waiting For?”

Tears – Charli XCX feat. Caroline Polachek

Everyone knows I’m the crying man. After a good solid personal breakdown, I shed my armor of toughness and became everyone’s most touchy friend. I’m often disarmed by a heartfelt moment, a triumph of someone I love, or the observation of pain. I don’t often cry because of anguish, though. This 2017 song from CharliContinue reading “Tears – Charli XCX feat. Caroline Polachek”

Shania Twain – Forever And For Always

Forever doesn’t exist. It never has. Artists of every kind throw the term around with little care for the severity of the idea. Forever. For ever. With no end and in perpetuity. Nothing that has ever existed lives up to that. Shania Twain has a charmed and beloved place in music that gives her theContinue reading “Shania Twain – Forever And For Always”

Sing it Saturday: The Verve- Bitter Sweet Symphony

I find a deep satisfaction in bringing awareness to songs that I know will make other people happy if given a chance. It is always a differently rewarding experience, however, to talk about one that I know everyone already loves. Bitter Sweet Symphony was a perfect contribution of 90s music. It feels like a loveContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: The Verve- Bitter Sweet Symphony”

Sing it Saturday: Daft Punk – Get Lucky

Say what you will. Actually, don’t. Daft Punk is rad and nobody will ever do it like they did. I realized their polarizing appeal the weekend that I moved to LA back in 2017. Elite streetwear megastore Maxfield hosted a pop-up shop dedicated to our favorite space robots to commemorate their Grammy’s performance with theContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Daft Punk – Get Lucky”

Sing it Satuday: LEN – Steal My Sunshine

1999 was a blast in the face from pop culture. Film, TV and music were at their peak, and we saw content that is still referenced today, even by young creators who weren’t born yet. Steal My Sunshine is a creation of that time. Everyone remembers this song, but probably wouldn’t be able to tellContinue reading “Sing it Satuday: LEN – Steal My Sunshine”

Sing it Saturday: Cher – Believe

No matter how hard I try, I can’t get past this late 90’s banger. It reshaped the landscape of pop music and showed that electronic elements in music were the way of the future. Sonically, it slaps. Lyrically, it’s devastating. I’m so sad you’re leaving. It takes time to believe it. As much as theContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Cher – Believe”

Sing it Saturday: Allie X – Sanctuary

I remember being told by a friend “It’s literally my idea of a perfect pop song.” about Sanctuary. I’d listened to a good handful of Allie X songs, and understood that she purveyed an odd girl image against pop bangers and earworms. I always love when an artist creates challenging imagery to surround feather-light materialContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Allie X – Sanctuary”
