Ann Druyan and Carl Sagan confessed their (interstellar) love for one another during a phone message in June of 1977, just months before the most cosmically ambitious mission of humankind would commence on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts. The pair were paramount in the mission’s purpose, abstract, and legacy. Visionaries of what Earth could […]
It’s here now. The intentional building of a seamless bridge into Western pop has completed construction. From being “in your area”, to the billions of youtube views, to Coachella, to world topping singles. These were feats unheard of before Blackpink, and now as the vaunted members begin their solo endeavors. Pre-planned and choreographed careers are […]
As a freshman entry into the soquitcherbitchen kpop catalog, I’m more worried this song will be passed up as a senseless pop trend and not as the artistic accomplishment it deserves. The song–a combination of classical orchestral staccato beats with playful traveling electronic undertones, crunchy fast moving baselines, and dramatic swelling choruses paired with the […]
This isn’t political. (lol). Of course it is. What isn’t in today’s news cycle and current events. But isn’t that the dangerous point being made here? What is the saturation point that regular voters who might perk their ears up every so often when the polls come close to opening? A serious question: if you […]

Oooof. Buckle in for a tearjerker: Family. Nostalgia. Memories. Your first bedroom you remember growing up in. The bedroom you left when you went to college. The unmowed part of lawn on the side of the driveway where you parked your first car. The chair on that one specific side of the table you always […]
While not seeing Logan yet in theaters, what Fox is doing now with their stand-alone films is surpassing anything that Warner-DC and Disney-Marvel have done in recent years. Suicide Squad wanted so desperately to be this.. but it ended up just a mess surrounded by unmasked Will Smith and Margot Robbie. Maybe it’s just the way that the […]
So. Just saw Andrew Bird [for the first time] last night at a most epic setting (Fourth Presbyterian Church) here in Chicago, with a snowy blizzard quietly wreaking havoc on the communities outside. We sat in our pews like obedient romantic children of yore while listening to a man create looping melodies and harmonies with […]
An ever epic return. The rumors and myths have existed for years. And recent precursors regarding tour dates and collaborations ignited the interwebs with the real possibility that a new Avalanches album might be juuust over the horizon. But now that hype has /finally/ manifested into something tangible. Not just in an official announcement of a […]
Sometimes life doesn’t always mean to take the same recommended route that Google would have you travel. Side roads, dirty alleys, *lots* of easy freeway driving, and avoiding as many stop lights and accidents as one can. Metaphors abound, occasionally (read: once in a while) things turn up in a way that inspires. Quit being […]
