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…
Before Jason Mraz saved my life in 2012, musical theatre had already made an attempt once. It was during my 30-minute lunch break that I snuck into a movie theatre that was showing RENT ( I should add that I worked in said movie theatre and watching 30 minutes of a movie during your break was allowed)….
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…

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…
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…
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….
