I have had The Pink Spiders on rotation in my life since Teenage Graffiti came out, but this is the first time I’ve returned to new music from them in earnest. I know there was a bit of a rocky history as far as permanent members went beyond lead singer Matt Friction, so I’d say that’s the reason I never quite stayed current with them.

The theater had nothing new to offer me that I was wanting to see, so I slowly picked away at some of the more recent rentals I had piling up.
Read moreBook Review: Understatement of the Year by Sarina Bowen
I gotta say, I don’t know why it took me this long to seek out more work from Sarina Bowen. She wrote two excellent novels back in the day (Him and Us, if you’re curious), and Understatement of the Year is no exception.
Read moreThe Popular MonsTOUR – Concert Review
I am really slipping here. Just a day after the 4th celebrations were over, my sister and I headed up a VERY big hill to catch the Popular MonsTOUR at Pittsburgh University. That means we got a lot of action thanks to the headliner that was Falling in Reverse.
Read moreThe Bear Season 2 Review
I know the second season of this hit critically acclaimed show just dropped a few of weeks ago, so I promise I’ll keep this review of The Bear as spoiler free as possible.
Read moreFan Art Friday – Don Broco
I’m sad that I didn’t get this drawing done by the time I got to see Don Broco again live, but better late than never I suppose. And if I have any say in the matter (I do), this won’t be the last time I see these guys this year. I know I technically already drew this image of the guys, but I brought the contrast level way down so there were more details this time around. I love how it turned out!
Read moreBeef Season 1 Review
I felt like it took me way too long to check out Beef, Netflix’s newest critically acclaimed darling that actually earned all the “most streamed” buzz that other awful shows get on that platform. Then I was a tool and watched half of it like a month ago before finally committing myself to finishing it. I have no clue why I skirted it for so long. I had liked what I’d seen so far! TV is confusing sometimes, and so are my preferences at any given time.
Read moreWeekend Movie Review
It was a busy weekend, and then I also had some film festival selections to watch, but still. There were some good ones in the mix this weekend!
Read moreConcert Review: Emery – Songs and Stories
Emery is a band that I have been listening to since I was in middle school, and at this point I don’t even think I could begin to tell you how many times I’ve seen them in concert. There have been some memorable times, and the Songs and Stories type tour that they do from time to time is at the top of the list.
Read moreFrameline 47 – Film Festival
The 47th annual Frameline Film Festival was back this year during the midst of pride month, because that only makes sense for a queer-centered film festival. As with most of these film festivals that I’m attending virtually, the selection isn’t quite as robust as attending in person, but there were still some gems to be found.
