H. P. Lovecraft has frightened and fascinated audiences for over a century with tales of cosmic horror and terrifying creatures, but until recently, I never sought out his works and didn’t understand why his writing has been so long-lasting and impactful (if complicated).

I’m going to be honest: I’m still wrapping my head around The Tortured Poets Department. Taylor Swift’s 11th studio album packs an emotional punch with its standard 16 tracks and was a lot to take in on a first listen.

Growing up in the 2000s, it felt like something of a requirement to have at least a baseline understanding of 2004’s Mean Girls.

It touches on many ..read more

Now that fall is here and a new Taylor Swift album is on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to put on the “Sad Girl Autumn” version of “All Too Well.” The song first appeared on Swift’s 2012 album, Red, where it had been shortened from its original length of 10 minutes; when she released the rerecorded ..read more

It should be clear by now that I love Vocaloid music, if the success of “10 Happy-Sounding Vocaloid Songs with Extremely Dark Lyrics” is anything to go by. The talented people who put together songs entirely from the ground up using nothing but digital software (known as “Producers ..read more

My scenester/hipster/whatever card was already pretty yellowed and frayed before COVID hit, and without dwelling too much on the ongoing global disaster, I’ll just say I was thinking I was pretty much retired from the “going to shows” thing. Whether for fun or gig or both, I had ..read more

In the space of less than a year, I’ve gone from hearing Grace Petrie’s delightfully queer folk music for the first time on YouTube to making a Bandcamp account specifically to preorder her latest album, Connectivity.
