8 of Louis Armstrong's Greatest Musical Team-Ups
Louis Armstrong (1901-1971) is widely considered one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. His trumpet playing and distinctive vocals set him apart from his peers. Armstrong began playing music professionally as a teenager, and his musical career lasted over 50 years. He gained renown as a soloist and band leader, but he wasn't above the occasional duet, often with some of the best in the business. Here are eight of his greats.

An Exploration of Teenage Love: The Playlist
As a teenager, it's hard navigating the difficulties of relationships. Often, young men and women idealize the idea of being with someone, never fully comprehending the concept of spending every waking moment with someone who should be your best friend. Even now, it's hard for me to comprehend that concept. I often still want to jump into things without thinking, but I like to think I'm getting better at recognizing when certain connections are working and when others are not. Many songs have stuck with me over the years that have influenced my experiences with love in one way or another, and these are those songs.

10 Songs of Teen Angst
blink-182's fourth full-length studio album, Take off Your Pants and Jacket, contains all the juvenile dick jokes you expect coming from an album with such a title. Love or hate blink-182 (I love them), it cannot be denied that their catalogue has some serious hits (one of these tunes will make an appearance on this list today).

A Day To Remember part 2
A mixture of my first ADTR article doing so well, and me feeling like I still left a plethora of songs on the table. I decided to write another article, I'm simultaneously surprised because I didn't think there were still so many fans. But I'm also not surprised since their music is incredible. There are moments of pure sulking and a little bit of self pity in post-hardcore, don't get me wrong. But again that is why I find "A Day to Remember" and even bands like "We Came As Romans" so refreshing. They even just get better with time. Why don't we take a look at a few more song together, shall we?

Opening Acts
I had a desire to be "Comfortably Numb" like the Pink Floyd song and become an advocate to myself for inner peace. Instead, my teenage angst was propelled by a Superbowl performance of an unknown rock band I would later come to be a devout fan of, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Ignorant to their name, I moved onto the punk scene with "Don't Stop" by 5 Seconds of Summer and numerous Nirvana songs such as, "Come as You Are" "Dumb" and of course, "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

THE PLAYLISTS OF MY LIFE – TEEN EDITION
Music has always been a huge part of my life. I get it from my dad. He loved music; had a pretty great vinyl collection at one point too. He was always singing, and so passionately; he made you just feel the music. My love and appreciation only grew during my teen angst years. I had an anthem for every infatuation and heartbreak, as well as for every perceived parental infraction.

Astrology & Angst. Top Story - May 2021.
This year, my friend introduced me to the elusive world of Astrology. Since the pandemic began, I really tried to learned new and interesting things with all of my spare time. At first, I tried crocheting. Then, I began a book club. While I was quarantining, I began writing music and picking up new instruments. But while I could've been reading up on other topics this year, Zodiac signs deeply intrigued me. Or rather, the people who vehemently embraced the idea of Astrology. I had always believed it was a farce. I mean, it's difficult to surrender the basis for everything we believe that makes-up individual personalities, i.e., psychology and genetics. But I couldn't help but suspend worldly expectations and trade-in my negative thoughts about Astrology for an interest in it. People who love and embrace their Zodiac signs are intriguing. If it isn't about pure belief, I think they just want to be understood and understand the world in their own way. But everyone is like that in their own way. We search for reason and meaning with art, work, family, or religion. Astrology is some people's avenue to understanding the world around them. For me, I indulged in music.

My Play-Sing-Scream-list!
Welcome to my world of music! I have a huge audio library. I am the kind of person that listens to almost anything. That girl lives in a movie and the music plays in the background inside her mind. I love to sing and music is a vehicle for my feelings. I use it when I need to get deep into some story. It runs through my veins!
