I’ve been wanting to write this blog post for two weeks now, but I felt like I couldn’t properly relay my extremely passionate emotions about the topic. I almost didn’t write this, which is why this post is coming at you later in the evening, but I can’t go on without sharing this wonderful artist…

Music Monday: *NSYNC
Today is the day that *NSYNC get their much-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and I’m feeling emotional. On Sunday I attended the #DirtyPopUp for *NSYNC in Los Angeles and my pre-teen heart could hardly take the excitement. You see, *NSYNC was a major staple of my childhood; I’m sure my parents still…
Music Monday: I Like That
Let’s kick off this week with a dash of confidence and a solo-slow-dance in your car. Janelle Monáe is set to release her third LP, Dirty Computer, on April 27th and if her recent three single releases are any indication of what’s to come; I think it’s safe to say that none of us are ready. While I…
Music Monday: Beychella
As if this Music Monday could be about anything else. Beyoncé headlined Coachella this past weekend and I am still recovering from watching the live-stream of the event. She was the first black woman to headline Coachella and she made her historic performance one to be remembered. I was lucky enough to witness the wonder…
Music Monday: Feelings
My love affair with pop music is a well-documented and complicated one. pre-teen Julie was all about the pop music, *Nsync, Spice Girls, the Queen herself: Britney Spears, they were all constantly playing in my house. My parents hated pre-teen Julie … and also teen Julie, she was a mess. As I grew older and…
Music Monday: I Don’t Think About You
Kelly Clarkson is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists. I raved about her latest album, Meaning of Life, when it came out last year and now here I am ready to rave about her latest single, “I Don’t Think About You”. She just released a music video to accompany the single and it is a…
Music Monday: Found/Tonight
Sometimes inspiration hits you right before you give up and go to bed. My weekend has been full of family chaos and I had completely forgotten that our monthly Hamildrop would be released at midnight. So here I am wasting an hour of my night looking for a song to feature on this week’s Music…
Music Monday: You Don’t Know
I promise to not make the entirety of this website about my depression but now that I’m starting to feel like a normal human being again, I feel the need to analyze what’s been going on with me lately. Climbing out of depression is difficult. You must arm yourself with time and patience in order…
Music Monday: Rush
The last few weeks have been emotional. I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve written anything and it wasn’t for lack of trying. I’ve been in a real funk lately and the funk has been accompanied with crippling writer’s block. The last thing I want to do is bring the party down, but…
Music Monday: Johnnyswim
My love affair with Johnnyswim has been well documented on this website. I’d like to say that there’s a fine line between being a fan of their music and being absolutely obsessed, but at this point that line is blurry and I can no longer tell the difference. I mean, there’s a reason why when…
