Really glad I went to college during a pandemic and am job searching during a looming recession. Couldn’t have timed it better. This has all been great for my mental health. Great!

Money can’t buy happiness but it can buy a fancy latte that I will drink while reading & listening to music and that counts
I finally got a job and that means I can buy vinyl again

Holy hell. This is a kamikaze biography. This is one of those musician profiles that’s so thorough that it makes it damn near impossible for any music journalist to profile that artist again. What a read.

For this week's Sounds Great, I talked to Winona Fighter about their killer debut album, My Apologies To The Chef.

Happy Valentine's Day, but this one doesn't have any love songs.

The new Winona Fighter album doesn't have any love songs
Pop-punk songwriter Coco Kinnon talked with Sounds Great about the Nashville punk scene, "I Think You Should Leave" and never writing love songs.

The last few weeks have felt super hollow and aimless but i think the issue is just that I haven’t been listening to enough Girl Talk
