Back to Plex Hub Plex is a media platform in and of itself, which means we need to configure a few things first to ensure you only see my, free content. These videos are a ~1 minute apiece. The whole process should only take about 10 minutes to complete, and you won't have to doContinue reading "Set Up Your Account"
More Like a Ghost
It's been a long, long time (I KNOW) since I made a new playlist, which is kind of a tricky thing. Over the course of the last *mumbling* months, I've listened to, loved, hated, and been ambivalent to a lot of new music, to the point that I was at about 100 songs on thisContinue reading "More Like a Ghost"
If Winter Ends
I genuinely don’t want to start this off on a pessimistic note but let’s face the facts: given the law of averages, most creative output is not very good. This goes especially for music, being that it is a medium which doesn’t require a ton of collaboration or even time to simply produce “a song”.Continue reading "If Winter Ends"
Dark Dreams
It’s just a dream The hands — your hands — which tighten around her neck, a futile effort to stifle the screams It’s just a dream The nails digging into your arms, pulling chunks of your flesh with each desperate drag Those scars won’t be there tomorrow Because this is just a dream Of courseContinue reading "Dark Dreams"
His Handsome Hell
Bright Eyes’ elegiac I Will be Grateful For This Day, a deep cut rarity never included on an official album release, is one of the most powerful tracks in their considerable catalogue. Featuring an against-brand electronic dance beat, lead singer/songwriter Conor Oberst waxes nostalgic about people’s he’s left behind in his home town of Omaha,Continue reading "His Handsome Hell"
The End Of The Tour
Well, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? I guess that after single handedly saving the drill genre with my last album note, the gargantuan effort caused my creative brain to go into a brief stasis, from which I’ve just recently awoken. The End of the Touris James Ponsoldt’s second major film, following his The SpectacularContinue reading "The End Of The Tour"
Dry Lightning
Drill music is under attack! That particular flavor of rap, birthed in the underbelly of Chicago’s poorest districts and characterized by its plain spoken and nihilistic lyrics, became a local hit immediately, better reflecting the reality of survival for many living outside the notice of politicians and social safety nets. Its videos tend to beContinue reading "Dry Lightning"
Que Extraño
Que extraño…. how odd, indeed. Here we are barreling toward the spring, on the verge of world war, declaring victory over a pandemic that’s lasted ~3 years in a way that still somehow seems premature. These and other factors have contributed to an incredibly exhausting month and a painful playlist cycle, which is also thanksContinue reading "Que Extraño"
What Cassandra Saw (1/18/2022)
In Ancient Greek myth, Cassandra is one of the more interesting mortal figures. As a Trojan priestess of Apollo she was compelled to chastity (like a nun) — so when Apollo himself made a sexual advance on her, she naturally rejected him. His answer was to curse her with the gift of perfect prophecy —Continue reading "What Cassandra Saw (1/18/2022)"
Not Fade Away
Apple MusicSpotify Not Fade Away I believe that one of the quickest ways to take a culture’s temperature, to really get a sense of the national mood, is to look at to what extent it is indulging in nostalgia. Glorification of the past tends to indicate hopelessness for the future, a sentiment that seems toContinue reading "Not Fade Away"
