As I prepared to write this article on the first International Women's Day of this new decade, I mulled over how much has changed in the past few years, and how far we've yet to go—both in my personal life and in society as a whole. I must admit that in my present physical state, … Continue reading A Few Recommendations in Honor of International Women’s Day

2018 Vulture Festival Los Angeles: Sunday
For pop culture junkies, it's easy to go way too hard at the Vulture Festival knowing that you could be getting the inside scoop on Syfy's Deadly Class one moment and touring Grand Central Market with Phil Rosenthal and Nancy Silverton the next. We learned our lesson from last year and paced ourselves accordingly on Sunday, focusing … Continue reading 2018 Vulture Festival Los Angeles: Sunday
Millennial Hustle: Akpanoluo Etteh
When I sat down to write this introduction, it took me an embarrassingly long time to remember the when, where, and how I met my friend Akpanoluo U Etteh II, or Ak for short. I’ve spent time with the 31-year-old data engineer and music salon founder in a myriad of different situations: a fashion week soirée … Continue reading Millennial Hustle: Akpanoluo Etteh
Florence + The Machine Reigns in the Hurricane in Latest Album
Florence + The Machine released High As Hope, the band’s fourth full-length album, a little over a month ago, but I’ve already listened to it at least one hundred times. (This may be an exaggeration, but only slightly.) It is incredibly difficult, in the year 2018, to create a body of work by this title without begging the question, … Continue reading Florence + The Machine Reigns in the Hurricane in Latest Album
Two Brothers’ Epic Journey Through Their Dad’s 1,000+ CDs
I don’t know about you, but I can’t remember the last time I listened to a CD. And I don’t mean pressing play on Drake’s latest release on Spotify—I’m talking about sliding in a scratch-free holographic disc into your mid-2000s MacBook, or perhaps popping one into your Sony boombox’s top-loading tray, if you’re feeling fancy. … Continue reading Two Brothers’ Epic Journey Through Their Dad’s 1,000+ CDs

Ladies We Love: Catching Up with Emily Lee
Representation matters. We’ve certainly discussed it before on the site, and I’m not planning on stopping anytime soon. And if you don’t believe me, or even the experts, take it from Dinner Party’s Ladies We Love alumna Emily Lee. Even after touring the world as a musician, as well as working on the music for an … Continue reading Ladies We Love: Catching Up with Emily Lee
Think Piece Roundup: This Is America
CW: Video contains graphic violence. ICYMI—Childish Gambino (a.k.a. Donald Glover) dropped a new track last week, and its accompanying music video has driven the internet’s think piece generator into overdrive. With the video’s overt political themes, surrealist—if extremely violent—imagery, and over 107 million YouTube views and counting, it comes as no surprise that a lot … Continue reading Think Piece Roundup: This Is America
Ladies We Love: Bea Troxel
Full disclosure: I’ve known folk songstress Bea Troxel since she was a high school junior, when we met at a Laura Marling show in Nashville under awkward and somewhat uncomfortable circumstances. As these things tend to go, we became friends shortly after, which likely makes my assessment of her music somewhat biased. However, as a … Continue reading Ladies We Love: Bea Troxel
