Smiling and Profiling with The Cars
Happy last SDOC (second day of classes). It is 60ºF in North Carolina, and my 25ºF Pennsylvania self has not adjusted one bit. While I have basically been working or celebrating the holidays with my family all of winter break, I was able to squeeze in some good music time, thus here I am, ready…

Brown Leaves, Bronze Sun, Bluegrass
Not even sure how to cold open this one. Basically, every November I stumble into my bluegrass and folk playlist. It’s like clockwork. Never intentional, just some higher power that wants me to blast Tyler Childers in my ears for the preceding 4-6 weeks. Where has that gotten me this year? Well, one of the…

Mellow Mornings Involving Rainbows
You guessed it. I have a midterm tomorrow and some class content to catch up on, but I’ve also been antsy to get writing, making it the opportunity to push studying off and write this. Honestly, this morning I didn’t even have any ideas for what I could write about today. I’ve been dabbling here…

Tuning In: September 2025
Good morning, or afternoon, however you celebrate 12pm on a Friday. It is not yet Rocktober, or Fleetwood Mactober as I prefer, but it is officially Fall. Inevitably, this time of year sinks me deep into 1970s rock and beyond. Historically, that has led me into Dire Straits, Atlanta Rhythm Section and Pink Floyd territory.…

America? America.
An email hit my inbox earlier this week saying my annual website subscription is getting renewed next month, and you know what that means? Iz FM is coming up on two years old. What started as a weird obsession with Tory Lanez’s Alone at Prom has led me down one odd road. We’ve jumped from…

Much More than a Little River Band
Happy first true Sunday scaries of senior year! What better way to celebrate this moment and procrastinate my three 20-minute assignments than to hop on here and write away. It all started two weeks ago when I set my eyes on the piles of CDs in my parents’ basement. What a spectacular way to appreciate…

Definitely Something I Needed
Well, my towel has been thrown in. My white flag is waving. I’m done for. flipturn you’ve done it. I’d say I’m headed on week 4 of listening to pretty much only flipturn. Maybe I’ve added in the occasional Leon Bridges or George Harrison, but please just take one look at my current playlist and…

a summer of flipping n turning
Ask and you shall receive. With an inbox full of pleads for the next post, I’ve finally decided to give in. I mocked up a post for last month, but unfortunately it sucked, and I really couldn’t have any press like that associated with my image. So instead… happy mid-July! Turns out moving to another…

Until Next Time, Benito
All good things must come to an end, or something like that. Currently posted up, criss-cross-apple-sauce, in the Madrid terminal getting ready for my flight back to the States. The best way I could think of paying homage to the past five months is through song. Not my song, of course, but Bad Bunny’s. After…

Gunna and his Dollas and Quartas
It’s as easy as remembering how to ride a bike. It’s as carefree as falling back into old friendships when you’re home for Thanksgiving. It’s as spectacular of an experience as eating a Five Guys’ cheeseburger. It is Gunna WUNNA. No matter how much time passes, I will always hear a fleeting “It’s easy to…
