November Favorites
By Megan Bliek November has been a month of discovery. I discovered a lot of new music and expanded my music taste into jazz–something I never thought would happen. I’m hoping my playlist somewhat makes sense, although I make no promises. Honorable mention this month goes to Lexie Liu’s “delulu,” which I wanted to include,…

They’re adventurous, extremely outgoing, and always on the move to find the next best thing to participate in. It seems as if it’s almost like…

separate ways – eyedress ft. the marías
If there’s a particular genre of music I truly devour, it is cosmic-sounding heartbreak songs. I have a deep affection for soulful guitar riffs, twinkling keys and synths, and heart-wrenching lyrics. Finding musical satisfaction in this musical niche has been elusive lately, but Eyedress and The Marías exceeded my expectations with their collaborative single, “Separate…

Symbolized by the mystifying Scorpion, this astrological season encourages us to delve deep into the recesses of our emotions, desires, and psyche. It’s a time of introspection, passion, and unearthing hidden truths.…

September Favorites
September is over? It feels like it just started. Yet here I am, cataloging my most listened-to tracks for the month. Some of these are new, and some are a few years old. Still, they captured my heart and stayed in my brain nearly every day this month. “Dummy” – Zack Fox The comedian (slash…

villain – caity krone
Almost exactly 3 years after releasing her debut EP, Word of Art, Caity Krone has returned with the emotionally driven single, “Villain.” As someone who has followed her photography work over the past few years, I am in awe of how her photos can capture a specific feeling, and this song has the same effect.…

A Deep Dive Into Hozier’s Album, Unreal Unearth
There are two things that I have a profound affection for: music and literature. Hozier skillfully and elegantly blends these two in his latest album, Unreal Unearth. Drawing inspiration from Dante’s Inferno, Hozier melds Dante’s odyssey through the Nine Circles of Hell with motifs of affection, heartbreak, and finding beauty in both darkness and light.…

august faves
August! The month of salty air, rusty doors, too-hot weather, and car rides to the beach. As someone who absolutely despises weather above 75 degrees Fahrenheit, I definitely have a mixed relationship with the month of August. However, the music releases last month have been more than extraordinary, reinvigorating my love of summer pop music.…

july faves
I have a love/hate relationship with the month of July. I like to live in the pleasant realm of 50-70 degrees Fahrenheit, not 105 like it is right now. Luckily, there is a bounce to summer music that ties me over until the cooler months of the year. This month I found myself rediscovering my…

With a natural flair for leadership and a love for the spotlight, Leos often find themselves at the center of attention. They can command the room with their magnetic presence without issue.…

June faves
June is such a lovely month–sweet summer beginnings with the sun setting later and later, the summer solstice, and endless beach days. To me, June always feels like a month to pause after the busyness of school and work, taking time to pursue new hobbies and spending as much time as possible outside. This month’s…

succession
Succession has emerged as a show that mirrors a manner of living most of us will never experience. It portrays the opulent wealth and extravagant lifestyles that only a select few attain. With that life comes decisions that are fraught with tension and potential betrayal. Succession centers around the Roy family, owners of the powerful…
