The past month and a half have felt like a lifetime here in the US of A. It's honestly exhausting being here in this country right now with what feels like an infinite amount of news headlines about how our president is fucking our shit up here. I've honestly never felt this ashamed to be a citizen of this country and also never felt this hopeless about how far things can fall. Being tired of...

Looking Back at My First Music Review
(Wrote this months ago and never posted it)About 8 years ago I started "reviewing" popular music on here. It was a way to express my love for music and also my frustration with the direction pop music was going in at the time. My opinions on music have changed a lot in the last 8 years and I think a part of that is because of this blog. Listening to more pop music because I wanted to review it actually...

Best and Worst Hit Songs of 2024
The shortest year of our lives, 2024. Ignoring the last few disastrous months of the year, it actually wasn't a terrible year this time around. When it came to music, it was actually pretty great I think, especially in the pop music charts. I mean there wasn't a lot I hated this time around and there were some pretty great hit songs I listened to a lot. Lots of returning artists on the charts like...

I will talk about the new Beetlejuice movie and how I felt about it too, but also about the state of Hollywood and how it has been bringing back a lot of dead franchises to try to bring audiences back to the theatres. In the...

Worst Songs of the 90s
THE 90s! Tamagotchi, Nickelodeon, Power Rangers, Palm Pilots, FRIENDS, and lots of novelty songs that stayed stuck in your head for the rest of your life. Still, to this day I can't count to 5 without it turning into the opening lines of "Mambo No. 5". As iconic and memorable as a lot of the music of the 90s was, there are plenty of songs I only remember for being terrible and trying to erase...

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary Rewatch/Review
It's not really shocking anymore to see something I loved as a kid turning 25 years old in just a few months. My relationship with Star Wars has changed a lot in the last 10 years. It was a franchise I loved growing up and I even loved the prequel movies as a kid because, of course, I didn't...

Here's to me being out of touch with modern music: Episode 540142
It's been a few months since I checked in on what's going on in the mainstream music charts. Usually, for the first month or so of the year, it's a lot of carryover from the last year as the new big singles start to drop from big artists throughout the early months. I also just happened to check the list out when the Grammy-boosted songs came back to the top 10 (Flowers and Fast Car shooting...
