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…

Tuning In: September 2024
Tonight my roommate and I cooked up some Trader Joe’s pumpkin gnocchi topped with Trader Joe’s pumpkin pasta sauce and roasted Trader Joe’s squash. I fear it does not get more college than that. Add on top of that our constant Gilmore Girls binging and pumpkin spice Starbucks drinks this morning. What a time we…

In Dire Need of Dire Straits
A trickle over the strings. A tickle in my ears. Rock and roll has entered the daily rotation and Dire Straits stands at the forefront of the obsession. In this little rock era I’ve been in for the past month or so, bands like Pink Floyd, Styx, Foreigner, and Led Zeppelin have taken over my…

An Uncontroversial Wall
What the hell. That was my initial reaction to the musical journey that I just experienced. During a three-hour solo drive home, I was brainstorming ways to pass the time. Music wasn’t really hitting like I wanted it to, thoughts weren’t really processing productively, and I was just stuck in silence… until I realized… it…

Tuning In: July 2024
Spotify probably thinks I died because of how little I have listened to music this month. I must get overwhelmed in new environments, and music can become quite overstimulating. I have actually found peace in the quiet. Or not necessarily the quiet, but the natural sounds of life. The roads and the people are so…

A Mystical Evening with Fleetwood Mac
I credit my little blog-writing hiatus to the changes going on in my life right now. I finished my sophomore year of college, moved out of the house I’ve been living in for the past five months, and am now back in my hometown for the next month. Lots of emotions means that my music…

Living My Harlequin Dream
Flashback to the summer after high school graduation. As I was shopping for my college dorm at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, I heard the most magnificent guitar riff trailing through the aisles. That song was no other than “Southern Sun.” And that fateful moment was the introduction to one of my current favorite bands, Boy…

The Fire Inside Floyd
Oh boy. Here we go. As a 19-year-old college student who had decided that I was well-versed enough in the music industry to offer my own judgements on artists and albums, I still never had thought that I reached the point where I could criticize Pink Floyd. They are one of those bands that American…
