For the ninth week of the year, I'll be brief with my ramblings because: 1. All of this is mildly embarrassing 2. This album is not current. In fact, Tigermilk turns 20 this year. On Wednesday night, after watching some reality television that I shall not name (it rhymes with "Burbivor"), my boyfriend and I decided we would have some creative time in...
Thank you, Road-Trip Gods, for blessing us with 60-degree weather this weekend. I have been rejuvenated with some much-needed Vitamin D, and am now lusting after warm weather and cruising the Appalachian back-roads. I even said a couple nice things about the south, which is a rarity. Being in such a good mood about all this, I was serendipitously pointed in the direction of...
Sweet Baby Jesus, I have been waiting for this moment for so long. Ever since I saw Lake Street Dive perform in Columbus in 2013, their album Bad Self Portraits has been a staple in my music library. When I first saw them at Skully's Music Diner, I had never heard of them. My best friend's parents had seen LSD's Colbert performance, and...
When I found out that Lissie was planning on releasing a new album, I have to admit I was cautiously optimistic about the news. I was really impressed with her sound when I first heard her live cover of Kid Cudi's Pursuit of Happiness back in 2010, then I mostly forgot about her. A few years later, a couple of friends on my...

If you're young, broke, and disillusioned, I have the perfect musical remedy for this coming Valentine's Day. Sure, you could put on some Adele and pretend like a Galentine's brunch makes your life less complicated, but Adele isn't even sad anymore, and you can't afford gentri-fried chicken and waffles right now. In 2014, Alvvays (pronounced "Always") released their self-titled first album and I...
This week I'll be listening to Shearwater's new album Jet Plane and Oxbow. I initially started listening to DIIV's new album Is The Is Are but I had to stop because: 1. The album name pissed me off (seriously, why do bands insist on make themselves so hard to Google?) 2. I found out the front man is the same guy from Beach...
After I wrote about the song Passionate Kisses last week, I got on a kick of listening to some of my favorite covers. This kick was simultaneously fueled by Kanye's announcement that he was planning to do a David Bowie cover album, which I'm legitimately interested in listening to. White people: *folk covers of every hip hop song imaginable* Kanye: I'm going to...
