I can’t help but think back to an interview I read a few months ago where Joe Keery scoffed at the thought of his debut full-length album, Twenty-Twenty. he evidently thought it was a bit juvenile both in sound and from a lyrical perspective. Really, his new album, Decide, seems like a natural continuation from that first record, but I’ll have to listen to it a few more times to see if it’s evolved that much lyrically.
Read moreWeekend Movie Review
Technically, I am combining last week’s viewings because I didn’t have time to recap them here, but you should definitely still be informed of all the greatness out there.
Read moreConcert Review: AFI
It’s been over four years since I’ve seen AFI in concert, and frankly, that’s just too long! But after seeing this tour rescheduled from last year it finally happened, and it was incredible. Just like they always are.
Read moreFan Art Friday: AFI, Pt 2
You get a part 2 this week because I get to see AFI live and in person TONIGHT! I am so excited. It’s probably been a good four or five years since I saw them last, and you bet I’ll be trying to work my way to the front. Stay tuned, but for now enjoy this other woodblock painting I did many moons ago.
Halloween Weekend Movie Review…Many Days Later
Yes, I know Halloween was already three days ago, but I’ve been busy. That means you get to hear about the spooky movies that made it in for the most recent holiday. Nothing new this week, but you can’t go wrong with these picks.
Read moreBook Review: All the Women in My Brain: And Other Concerns by Betty Gilpin
While I have not seen Betty Gilpin in a lot of things over the years (sorry GLOW, I’m just not there yet), it’s her interviews about the projects that prompted me to seek out her collection of essays. Seriously, if you have not watched a single one of her interviews before, do it. She’s hilarious, and even though the collection of essays goes to some dark places, having heard her speak before really helped me get into her headspace and really hear her telling these stories.
Read moreArctic Monkeys – The Car, Album Review
Well, it’s finally here. New Arctic Monkeys! It’s been about five years since their last full-length album, so now we have The Car. Admittedly, the singles left me feeling a little slighted, but I’ve come around a bit!
Read moreBook Review: Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll
Full disclosure, the only reason I even picked up this novel, Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll, was because I saw the Netflix trailer and was intrigued by its mystery. That’s sad that Netflix movies are what’s driving my reading choices, but when People magazine is the only source for “new hits,” I suppose I shouldn’t be that surprised.
Read moreArmor for Sleep – Rain Museum, Album Review
Even though Ben Jorgensen of Armor for Sleep told me last November during their 15 year anniversary show that new music was on the horizon, I really didn’t believe it would be this soon! But sure enough, a few weeks ago, the band released their fourth album, Rain Museum, out into the world.
