I've Got Mad Love for Infinity Song
In February, we honored and centered Black figures who inspired us greatly in celebration of Black History Month. As that month comes to an end, let us continue to uplift the Black artists, creators, activists, innovators, and history makers who have left tremendous marks on the world.

The band that made me fall in love with music again
From a young age, music has always been my drug of choice. Whenever I was having a bad day, there was nothing quite like music to make me feel better. With very different tastes ranging from heavy metal, rap, hip-hop, pop and hell, even a little bit of classical thrown in there, I have always had an album or playlist depending on my mood. And of course, going to concerts is an amazing rush in itself, being close to that artist you love and wishing they could see you in the crowd.

Band Psychology
Who are these guys we hang out with? Are musicians just a bunch of hapless misfits who don’t want a real job? How do we, as songwriters fit into this band world? The best way to understand the people we work with and make music with is to look at each member of the band and develop a model of their behaviour. This may, of course seem stereotypical, but the following commentaries are at best, generalizations and are not meant to be conclusive, only indicative. There are many exceptions to these cases. (Now I’m really started to sound like Sigmund, yah?)

Ace of the Rookies
Being a rookie band doesn’t mean that viewers expect less, it just means that they want more of fresh content from the new comers. At most times the spectator is hard to please. The five boy South Korean Pop group, TXT is no exception.

1 in 3000
Reminiscing on the days when I was young and couldn't even understand the coded mastery presented in the music from such a celestial pair, I welcome nostalgia. Being from the west side I had a specific idea of how music sounded. Accustomed to what I was used to I had to learn the different styles and various forms of creativity expressed in art across the country. Black creativity was not new to me. Coming from the west side the household names were N.W.A., Tupac, Too $hort, Nate Dogg, and im sure you can picture the rest. So, that introduction to the alternative soul represented in the rhymes of Outkast and Andre 3000 himself has changed my life forever.

Lost And Found
Lost and Found Manicured lawns and Trimmed hedges was all Rich could think about. A chance to get out of the neighborhood was a dream everyone on Meadow Street dreamed of. This dream became reality for some, others this dream remained a topic of discussion with no answer to the questions at hand.

Signs A Band Is Over
Everyone has their favourite bands. Some change all the time whilst others become long-term favourites. When I was younger, my favourites flatuated between Spice Girls, Sugababes, Atomic Kitten, Kaiser Chiefs and Busted. As I got older my tastes have changed and I have firm favourites like Depeche Mode and Nightwish. A lot of bands that I have loved have now split up. Sometimes it is hard, but necessary if there is tension between band members or if they want to go their own separate ways and do their own thing.

Heart Memories
If you look, you can find reams of words written about black women musicians, and their contribution to our music today. They did it, we all know it, and we all love our music because of them. I can’t write about a history that is already well recorded, but I can write about my feelings of those contributions.
