  • iPod music can save the world

    ,

    Having been an “Instagram artist” for the past 8 years, it felt hard to delete the app from my phone once I finally felt burnt out. I’ve managed to have a consistent stream of creativity and posts up until a few weeks ago when I finally decided to delete most of the socials off of…

  • Fangs Up, Cobra Style!

    Hello I am here to share my love for Cobra Starship. You probably know a few of their songs already: “You Make Me Feel… (feat. Sabi)”) and the iconic “Good Girls Go Bad (feat. Leighton Meester)” !!! Aside from those, I wanted to talk about my own personal favorite tracks and recommendations. Thanks to my…

  • Maddie and Gracie love Interpol

    I love Interpol. So does Gracie. This is something that has already made itself clear on this blog, as I wrote pretty heavily about my introduction to them here, but I felt it would be unfair to myself not to write a post entirely dedicated to them.

  • Maddie’s favorite music videos

    One of mine and Allison’s favorite leisure activities, especially when we have company over, is to go down a music video rabbit hole. These are usually the same videos again and again, until we find one we maybe haven’t seen before for a song we both love. In seventh grade, I’d come home and watch…

  • I think my heart yearns to be a rock star

    For my birthday, I asked my sister for a copy of the book Meet Me in the Bathroom by Lizzy Goodman. Named after a song by The Strokes, this book covers the 2000s NYC rock revival scene. AKA probably my favorite era in music. Since around June-ish, I’ve become super obsessed with the band Interpol,…

  • The beautiful bittersweetness of Arcade Fire

    You know when you listen to something for the first time and can actively feel yourself becoming obsessed with it? Fall of 2023, I was sitting at my junior studio desk at school and listened through Funeral for the first time. I knew “Crown of Love” because someone had recommended it to me a few…

  • Metric fans, where are you now?

    Happy New Year! While Panic at the Disco managed to be my top artist on Spotify Wrapped in 2024 (click here to read more about that), my top song was actually “Succexy” by Metric. According to Spotify’s stats, I streamed the song 124 times over the year, putting me in the top 0.001% of listeners…

  • A love letter to early 2000s cabaret rock

    For some reason, I skipped over my middle school boyband phase. Besides loving the Jonas Brothers from around ages 5-7, it took me until late high school to discover how much of a fangirl I can really be. First it was Glass Animals (when they were still good; someday I will write about the impact…

What I read this summer

At the beginning of every summer, I feel a moral obligation to open up a book. My guess is that summer free time reignites an instinctual pull to…
