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…

Making and Breaking Promises with Naked Eyes
One fateful day (about a month ago), Spotify recommended “When the Lights Go out” by Naked Eyes. Recognizing the album cover as the house of one of my favorite songs, aka “Promises, Promises,” I let the song play. Thank god for this act of mercy. Pete Byrne, on the vocals, and Rob Fisher, on the…

$ome Mid $ongs 4 U
So Drake dropped on Valentine’s Day and titled the album “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U.” Literally haven’t heard anything more Drake than that in a while. After a year of pointless drama with Kendrick that earned both of them too much money and Kendrick an unnecessary few Grammy’s, I’m glad Drake decided to turn the…

The Hills that Filled My Heart
A few too many hours until my flight home. A few too many euros spent on cappuccinos and croissants. A few too many miles walked in the cold to pass the time. So naturally, I have landed here in this coffee shop, warming up and writing about an amazing soundtrack. I could’ve written about Lorde,…

No Drama with Melodrama
Lorde has been a name ingrained in my brain since fourth grade soccer carpools. Then, classics like “Royals,” “Team,” and other hits from Pure Heroine saturated radio stations like Kiss FM and Hits 1. God what a time. It was much easier to listen to music then because I couldn’t afford to be so picky.…

My Last Pie in America
I am just about a week out from leaving the States for 5 months. I’ve been wanting to write about this album for quite some time, so it only feels fitting to touch on it now, in remembrance of my days in the US. Without further ado, let’s dive into American Pie by Don McLean.…

My 2024 Breakout Artists
Though my spotify wrapped definitely put a damper on my parade (with outrageous claims about my #1 song of the year), I have decided to write a post commemorating who I believe were the 3 artists that made my 2024. By the numbers, my top 5 artists were Fleetwood Mac, Taylor Swift, 21 Savage, Clairo,…

Tuning In: Fleetwood Mactober 2024
So I fear I just wrote a whole lot. Highlights below include the lovely women of Fleetwood Mac, Charlie Brown, and Kid Cudi. If you’re intrigued, read on. Fantastic Fleetwood Mac Read the word “mirage.” I hope I am not alone in thinking it was pronounced “My-rahj.” The only reason this mispronunciation was corrected and…
