Traveling Barista Picks: Coffee Shop Playlist
Let’s face it, being a barista is sometimes a gruesome job. We romanticize it, and how it allows us to pursue our dreams and connect with people. While that is all true, there is also the downside. We’re often underpaid, overworked, and take crap from everyone.

10 Essential 2000s Indie Rock Hits
In my younger years, I spent a lot of time listening to indie and alternative rock stations on Sirius XM. This was during the 2000s indie rock boom, when soft vocals and quirky production ruled the airwaves. Most of these tracks never cracked the top 40, but they were huge in their respective genres--and now, in 2025, these songs have an added layer of nostalgia that makes them ripe for revisiting.

5 Songs I Despise
Well, I spent a long time thinking about this as I've known about this challenge for a while now. I won't spend too long on the introduction but I understand that the songs I dislike perhaps won't be everyone's choices and that's alright with me.

This Week's Hot 10 From Billboard Hot 100. AI-Generated.
On the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the week ending September 20, 2025, the impact of a Netflix hit has become impossible to ignore.

Five Songs that Irritate My Ears
The Five Songs That Really Irritate My Ears Some of my essay here is going to focus on the technical parts of singing and recording a song. I’ll also take a look at how these songs were received by the public and how they performed on the charts. I’m not necessarily going to say I hate or dislike any of them, but I’ll explain why they made my list of five songs that irritate my ears. For context, I was a teenager in the 1970s, I was 15 for the entire year of 1975, so most of my picks come from the late 1960s through the early 1980s.

When Talent is Non-Existent
When I saw Sam Spinelli's challenge, asking us to name and shame our five least favourite songs, I got very excited. I can be a grumpy, judgemental, opinionated ass at the best of times (ask Ruth, the good lady wife!), but when it comes to music, I've learned to try and keep schtum when I think something is terrible. All because I'm just trying to be a better person (My Name is Earl opening ref, anyone?).
