The best concerts, bands, singers, celebrities, and more.
River Studio's acoustic night, Friday 8th July
I want to start this article off by thanking all the performers who played at this event. I hadn't actually met them before the event, as in some cases I actually found their music online. I have to say though, that everyone lived up to any expectation I had and the performances while all very different, were of high quality. Apart from me of course, but in all fairness, I barely got any sleep the night before and I hadn't eaten any dinner. Plus I had to worry about timing and making sure everyone turned up and if you don't know me I am a worrier especially when it comes to these sorts of things.

The Top 10 Stray Kids Songs Based On Written Quality
Two of my lifelong loves include words and music. At one point in my life, I wanted to combine these loves by becoming a singer-songwriter myself. However, after deciding that trying to teach myself guitar, that I ultimately didn't have the patience, and my social anxiety made me unfit for too much public attention, I am now here doing a literary analysis of some singer-songwriter's songs.

Essentials by the Dozen - The Beach Boys in 12 Tracks
With respect to The Beach Boys, if you’ve ever made statements worthy of a solid facepalm, such as “They basically made sappy surf songs for teenagers”, or found yourself listening in on some conversation that had you asking “Why are The Beach Boys critically acclaimed if they never made anything complex?”, then this next list should serve as a good starting point if you wish to expand your knowledge on one of music’s most famous groups.

Brittanee Drexel’s white killer went free for 13 years while the police pursued black suspects
I remember when Brittanee Drexel went missing from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, during spring break in 2009. I wasn’t much older than her — she was a senior in high school and I was a senior in college. As someone who never had warm feelings about the week-long college bacchanals in Panama City and Myrtle Beach, the details of the case told me I was right to follow my instincts. They also chilled me to the bone: how could this pretty 17-year-old disappear from a fully booked hotel on the main drag in Myrtle Beach without anyone trying to intervene? Police traced Brittanee’s cell phone along a 50-mile trail, all the way to a boat ramp in a remote area of neighboring Georgetown County. That was where the phone pinged a cell tower for the last time, about a day after she was last seen at her hotel. Despite having this trail of electronic evidence — as well as security footage and some witnesses who recalled seeing Brittanee get into a white car — no one was ever arrested. But the police did publicly identify “persons of interest” — a group of black men living in small-town South Carolina. At one point, one of these men, Timothy Deshaun Taylor, apparently confessed to the crime, saying he had witnessed Drexel getting shot twice at a “stash house” owned by local drug dealers, who dumped her body into an alligator pit. But then something funny happened: despite his confession, Taylor was never charged with anything.

Who decided we all hate Nickelback?
Few names inspire canned sneers and derisive laughter more than “Nickelback.” Nobody knows exactly why, but we all know one thing for certain: we all hate Nickelback. Admitting to liking even one song is a hallmark of horrible taste. There’s no reasoning behind it; everyone just knows they’re supposed to respond to any mention of the long-running band by typing “lol Nickelback sux.” We might as well require a George Orwell-style “Two Minutes Hate” ritual. But me, I’m not playing along.

Top Five Reasons Kendrick Lamar’s New Album is Monumental
Kendrick has the skills. He has the credentials, the awards, and the respect of both critics and audiences. With his new release Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers, he draws on a larger canvas. The double-disc is a testament to the pandemic weary folks looking for glimmers of rational hope in an insane culture.

The Top 5 Reasons Why Gunna Ought to Snitch
With Young Thug grabbing most of the headlines, and being featured across the media platforms, few reports discuss rapper Gunna. The relatively quiet response to Gunna’s alleged wrongdoings appear to be the result of him being affiliated, rather than an active participant in the stunning indictment.
