Drowning in Hall & Oates’ H2O
I haven’t expressed my love for ‘80s pop on this blog as much as I probably should’ve by this point. While today is rainy and gross and 50º outside, my vibe has been everything ‘eighties with a hint of old-school hip-hop–somehow they mesh well. Maybe it’s because both genres seem to sample from the same…

some intriguing folklore
This is the last one of these while I’m still in college, and I can’t say I expected myself to write about someone so close to home during my last month 6-ish hours away from PA. Every spring, I fall into the Taylor Swift trap. At this point, she’s the only artist (maybe other than…

Strange & Steely Sounds
I’m really cutting it close with this March publication, so I’ll really try to make this worth all your while. I’ve had quite the selection of albums to choose from for this month’s review—as I’ve dived way too deep into various artists like Crosby, Stills & Nash (no Young), Christopher Cross, Ace, and Cat Stevens.…

Winter Months with Casablancas & McCartney
It’s no leap year, so that means tomorrow officially marks the start of month three of 2026. Oh, how time flies. Even though this is my last semester of undergrad, my academic pedal has been pushed to the metal. These have been eight weeks of lock-in time, which means it’s also been accompanied by many…

Never Cutting My Hair Again
I’ve been delaying writing about any combination of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young for quite some time because I don’t even know how to correctly pay homage to these incredible artists and their incredible works of art. It all started what feels like a lifetime ago (last month) when I heard…

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…
