This year, the Midwest had a doozy of a winter. Throughout October and November, we were lulled to a false sense of security through mild temperatures and a lot of rain, with the occasional quick snow. It seemed to be all over by December, and even into early January. But February began the winter of … Continue reading Day 10: Lake Effect Kid – Fall Out Boy
Ladies, I’m talking to you. Have you ever found yourself being jealous of another woman because she seems to just be so completely herself? Yeah, me too.

I was … Continue reading Day 3: Art of War – Anberlin

If you live in the Midwest, things have been bleak lately. It’s the doldrums of winter, punctuated by violent winter storms that bring states of emergency, weather advisories, and power outages. Kids get cabin fever from too many snow days and parents go crazy as a result. The rest of us wander around in a … Continue reading Media Minute: February 23, 2019
There are some songs you absolutely never get tired of. Not that you don’t occasionally skip them when your playlist is on shuffle, but that they have staying power with you, for one reason or another. Maybe you like the instrumentation. Maybe it’s got a tasty hook. Or maybe it’s just a downright good song. … Continue reading Day Sixteen: Arsonist’s Lullabye – Hozier
Today, we’re finally going to talk about my favorite band. If you know me even a little bit, you’ll know I have more than a slight obsession with The Dear Hunter. I might even be their biggest fan (as far as I know.) The reason they’re my favorite is twofold: the expert way they blend … Continue reading Day Eleven: Whisper – The Dear Hunter
