I blame popular radio for never getting into the Arctic Monkeys back in the day. Given that their first and second records came out in my prime music discovery time (middle school), somehow these guys slipped under the radar and then I only ever heard “Do I Wanna Know?” and “Are You Mine?” on repeat in 2013. That was too much for me. But here I am, many, many years later and I’m finally giving them a fair shake. I’d say it’s largely due to the fact that I’m obsessed with The Last Shadow Puppets. Something else I might be obsessed with? Arctic Monkeys’ first record, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not.

You know what? 2021 has been quite a great year for music! Yes, an extended period of time indoors probably allowed for max creativity for some, but I almost feel spoiled a little bit.

Read moreBook Review: Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum
I told you it wouldn’t be long before I read another one of Julie Buxbaum’s books! When looking at other people talking about What to Say Next, an older book of Buxbaum’s, Tell Me Three Things, was mentioned often and in a glowing light. So I knew I had to check it out!
Read moreBlack Monday Season 1
Finally, I am putting my Showtime subscription to good use! Back when I had the service briefly in 2020, Kidding was totally worth my time, but I ran out of it for this lauded comedy. I know Black Monday recently aired its third season, but I had to start from the top, and it’s been a pretty fun ride so far.
Read moreFan Art Friday: The Last Shadow Puppets
I mean…I think you all should have guessed that this was coming. After being the latest to The Last Shadow Puppets party, I have listened to their two releases on repeat for the past several weeks, and I don’t think it will be stopping any time soon. Nor will the drawings. So be ready for that.

Read moreBook Review: The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
I mean with a title like The Last Thing He Told Me, Laura Dave basically guarantees that I was going to read this book! A mystery and a thriller all wrapped into one, this book focuses on a missing man, and really it has all the perfect points to adapt this to the big or small screen. Good for Dave.
Read moreAlbum Review: Everything You’ve Come to Expect by The Last Shadow Puppets
While I have been busy obsessing over this supergroup’s 2008 release, I’d be a fool to never check out The Last Shadow Puppets 2016 effort, Everything You’ve Come to Expect. And before you question me or yourself, yes, you are reading those album release years correctly. Approximately eight years after the first time they came together, they decided to go and make musical bliss again. And I’m here for it!
