When was the last time you felt out of control? And I don’t mean “out of control” like “wild and crazy and unhinged.” But when was the last time you came to the realization that a lot of things in your life are outside of your agency? It’s a terrifying feeling that can leave you … Continue reading Day 7: Hopeless Opus – Imagine Dragons
Someday, I want to start a Civil Wars cover band. Their sound made me fall in love with folk and bluegrass. I particularly love their hit “Barton Hollow,” from their album of the same name – if you love a good stomp and holler, that’s the ticket. Their star did start to wane, however, with … Continue reading Day 6: The Martyr – John Paul White
Ah, breakup songs. They’re an integral part of our societal fabric. It’s cathartic to hear a heartbreaking song when we’re going through heartbreak. Just picture it. Picture your high school boyfriend just dumped you. What do you do? Crank up the tunes, that’s what. I remember the first time my heart was broken. I was … Continue reading Day 3: Art of War – Anberlin
There are times when life feels heavy, whether we can help it or not. It could be because all of the news headlines seem dour and we seem to be going straight to hell in a handbasket. Or it could be because of our own circumstances – lost job, lack of money, high stress, all … Continue reading Day 2: King of the Clouds – Panic! At the Disco
Do you remember that time? You know, that one time. It was like, less than a year ago. Some yahoo on the Internet decided to post every dang day about 30 songs. For a month. That was one crazy yahoo? Wasn’t it? Wasn’t it? Well it’s summer again (almost,) and I find myself with some time on my … Continue reading 30 Days, 30 Songs. (It’s Back.)
Ah, February. The month of love, where meet-cutes galore happen in coffee shops across the country, romantic proposals sweep the nation from shore to shore, and the perfect kiss happens almost every day of the month – Wait, does that actually happen in real life? In case you’ve been living under a rock, no. It doesn’t, not … Continue reading Media Minute – February 13, 2019
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” No, it’s not Christmastime, and that’s not Andy Williams singing – but it is someone with the same initials! Me. It’s me. Right now. Because it’s Oscar season (pew pew-pew pew!) My favorite thing to do during Oscar season is pretend I know more about movies … Continue reading Oscar Predictions 2019
January is not a great time for new media content. It’s the doldrums of Hollywood – a bit too late to get your Oscar bid in, and way to early to release an indie hit or Blockbuster summer flick. Everyone’s depressed with the malaise of the post-Christmas blues, so they go see the holiday hitmakers … Continue reading Media Minute – January 14, 2019
New year, new media. There’s a lot to be excited about in 2019. So many memes not yet created by bored 10th graders taking a break from Fortnite. So many Indie films that your parents will never watch because they look “too weird.” And probably a lot of hit singles that may or may not … Continue reading Media Minute: What I’ve Enjoyed This Week
Does Audrey like metal? The answer is, sort of. But usually, not really. If you really dug into my heavier taste, you’d probably define it as the gentler side of post-hardcore. I like it when former headbanger bands mellow out, grow into their thirties, and have kids – and so does their music. (Because if … Continue reading Day 27: Anthology – Thrice
