Another month in quarantine, another concert from my living room. That’s right, a whole year has passed and there is still no sign of live music on the horizon. So in the meantime, I am trying my best to support artists I like and get some version of “live” music via livestream concerts. I will say, I was very excited when after several months, Bad Suns announced they would be playing their sophomore effort, Disappear Here in its entirety!
Read more9-1-1 Lone Star: Winter Finale
I realize it is technically still winter, but we’re already a couple of weeks into March! Blame COVID, I suppose. Anyways, I know I missed out on the last several 9-1-1 Lone Star reviews, so I figured I should get you up to speed!
Read moreWandaVision Series Review
Well, well, well. After a whole year absent of anything Marvel, the fourth phase officially kicked off with their first ever television series, WandaVision! And the stars of this series? Wanda and the very much dead Vision…or so we think? I would suspect that it comes as no surprise to audiences that Vision is in fact still dead, and that this is just Wanda’s way of coping with her grief. But she does so in a very interesting…and morally questionable way.
Read moreBook Review: Girl A by Abigail Dean
For a debut novel, Abigail Dean sure packs an impressive punch with Girl A! This book is equal parts devastating and thrilling, and she alludes to just enough that at least my morbid curiosity was sated. This story is something that could have very easily been ripped from the headlines and might scarily be someone’s future, but for now it is just fiction (and good fiction at that!).
Read moreFan Art Friday: AFI
If you’ve been paying attention, I’ve practically been begging you to listen to the four new singles AFI have released in the past couple months. This is the first new music from the band in about four years so it’s freaking exciting! Even more exciting? They’re also putting out an album on June 11th entitled Bodies, and I for one cannot wait. In the meantime, check out this extremely throwback drawing of the band from their Decemberunderground days!
Read moreAlbum Review: girlfriends
It seems I had missed the boat on the 2020 release, but I’m all caught up now, and fellow emos and punks of the early 2000s listen up because girlfriends is a band you need to listen to! In fact, it should be mandatory listening! If this is the start of the new wave of emo and punk bands then I’m all for it.
Read moreSingles! New Music this Week
New music has felt like it’s coming at me in an onslaught, but I am certainly not complaining! Especially coming off the slow year that was 2020. What makes me even more happy is that it’s rock! I love rock, I miss rock, I need rock. And truth be told, these singles all rocked!
Read moreMega Movie Weekend
I let you all down last week! Although, I promise you, I did in fact watch movies. Just not as many as I have been cranking out recently. With that in mind, I’ve got last week’s films below, as well as the ones that made the cut this week. Because voting for the Independent Spirit Awards will start in just a couple weeks, I’ve been sent screeners for a lot of the nominees, and while I’ve seen most of them, there are still a small handful I’ve been wanting to watch. Now’s my chance!
Read moreWinners & Losers: Critics’ Choice Awards 2021
Ah yes, the awards ceremonies roll on. But boy did I forget how long this one was! And what’s even crazier is that they don’t really mess around with filler segments, plus they even just skip the song and dance for some categories, like foreign film and soundtrack. Anyways, I’m going to summarize as best I can!
Read moreEnlisted Reunion & Table Read
Ahhh! How freaking fun was this?! I know you all probably saw my recent review of the show Enlisted, and that was in fact in preparation for this very reunion. It’s been about seven years since the show went off the air, but in an effort to raise money for Harvest for Hunger, the entire cast for the episode “Prank War” reunited to do a table read.
