Because the best poets aren’t too tortured to hit that yoinky sploinky in sepia.
Songs of the Week 04/05/2024
Hope you like 3/4, and 6/8 even more. Yea, that’s right, other time signatures exist, I just can’t tell them apart because I never learned to count.
Songs of the Week 02/02/2024
Another batch of songs from November because I’m so blocked up from that hiatus.
Songs of the WEEK ANNUAL REVIEW 2023
I didn’t see light for days, couldn’t feel the first Christmas snowflakes land on my tongue, but it was all worth it—all worth bringing you this year’s annual review on January 10th, 2024. You’re welcome, Idaho.
All Instrumentals, All the Time (but just this week) | Songs of the Week 06/09/2023
Late to the party, but can we talk about sobbing to the Prehistoric Planet theme? And the Walking with Dinosaurs theme? And the Across the Spider-Verse intro?

Songs of the Week Annual Review 2022 (Because Someone Needs To Keep Spotify Honest)
I figured now was as good an opportunity as any to enter my own dark horse into the streaming music recap race—a real homegrown replay/wrapped situation. So, as 2022 comes to a close (four days into 2023), let's take a look back at the music that defined my year, and that probably didn't define yours, but here you are, reading about it.

Songs of the Week 12/30/2022
Buckle up, kids, I'm airing out all of my flammable takes while we're still in holiday limbo so I can start this new year pure and angelic.

I just shotgun sprayed your childhood, and I'm not even sorry for it. That's right, yea, and this is just the beginning. Ten-thirty, no mercy.
Songs of the Week 10/21/2022
