Lizzy McAlpine – Redefining The Live Concert Experience
It’s been a while since I’ve shared my thoughts on a concert. I’ve seen a lot in the past few years. Boygenius, Red Hot Chili Peppers, JID, Little Simz, Run The Jewels, Paramore, and Fall Out Boy to name a few. I love all of those artists, their art, and their accolades. But three nights…

A Letter to Julien Baker
It’s rare for me to listen to an artist and know that my life is going to be changed by their art. I know that’s a heavy statement, but in the case of your music it became very, very true. I found out about your music through a reddit post in 2019. I saw someone…

It’s been another crazy year of music, and with that, another year where I try to listen to as much music as possible. There will be another top 10 that comes out with my top 10 albums that I heard this year that didn’t come out this year. I found a lot of music retrospectively…

Memories in Wax #5 – David Lee Roth – Eat ‘Em and Smile
I have a weird relationship with Van Halen and David Lee Roth. Weird in the sense that their music as Van Halen doesn’t move me, but every guitar player I love was heavily influenced by Van Halen and his playing. I share this exact type of relationship with The Beatles. Not much of their music…

Memories in Wax #4 – Freddie Hubbard – Liquid Love
One of my favorite things to do when I was in the dumps was to take myself to Vintage Vinyl in Fords, New Jersey, before they closed down, and flip through bins of vinyl in hopes of finding a gem. I tried supporting local record stores when I could, and I find the jazz genre…

A Letter to André 3000
Thank you André Benjamin for your art and self. Your spirit and essence as a member of Outkast, as a solo artist (congratulations on your debut solo release with “New Blue Sun”), and as André Benjamin the person. I, like thousands of others, saw the GQ interview recently and I was moved.

Memories in Wax #3- Sting – The Dreams of the Blue Turtles
Sting was never an artist that was on my radar when I was record hunting. I was a fan of the Police like anyone else, was, but I never really delved into his discography into much later in my record hunting and music journey. For context, my music journey started in 2008, and I bought…

Concert Review: Fall Out Boy
This year, I wanted to reclaim my life. I felt it had been falling by the wayside due to professional commitments, and while I feel those advancements were necessary, I wanted to also take some time to enjoy youth while it’s still there. As a result, I’ve been going to a variety of concerts. From…

Memories in Wax #2 – Return To Forever – Where Have I Known You Before
All my memories won’t be about jazz records, but this one is one I wanted to jot down before I forget. I took a jazz class my freshmen year fall semester of college. The class was called the History of Jazz and it was ran by Professor PJ. PJ is an incredible professor and is…

An Update
This website was originally supposed to be a lot of things. I wanted it to be a journal of my musical past. I wanted it to highlight artists, and albums, and concerts I went to. I find that in wanting to do so much, I did none of that. I overextended, got overwhelmed, and ended…
