My favorite thing to do at work, is surprisingly not to work but instead to go on Spotify and play a random playlist with hopes of finding my next favorite artist. Such was the case when I stumbled upon Billy Raffoul’s music yesterday morning. In addition to the fact that I am extremely jealous of…
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…
This post was meant to go up on Monday morning; I had already written down “Jeff Carl – Cages” on my planner under March 12 but sometimes music affects you in such a way that you feel the need to tell everyone about it immediately. Music has a way of arriving into your life at…
17-year-old Julie was very proud of the fact that she didn’t have many girlfriends. She walked around angry at the world while sharing with anyone who would listen, that she preferred being friends with guys because girls were just so much drama.

I constantly over-share. I mean, seeing as I run a blog that statement should go without saying and yet … I over-share. It’s not that I want to tell you that I’m on Day 2 of my period but sometimes I just can’t help it. You see, 9 to 23-year-old Julie had a heart made…

It’s different. I have been waiting for new music from James Bay for a while now, just scroll through my Twitter and you can see how many times I’ve mentioned it in the past year. Well the wait is over and his new single “Wild Love” is here. It’s here and it’s different….
It started with a Jake Gyllenhaal interview; there I was at 2 am in the morning watching a random interview while Jake described his love of music. This interview then made me to remember that Jake (we’re on a first name basis by now) is a fan of Iron & Wine, which in turn made…
2:00 AM is the latest album from Latin artist, Raquel Sofia and in my humble opinion; it is her best work yet. The album kicks off with “La Persona Que No Eres” which is the very first song of Raquel’s that I heard and no matter how many times I hear it, it continues to…
