Song Review: 'Toosie Slide'Why Do People Like Drake?
Drake is truly a phenomenon that remains a mystery to me. I’ve attempted reviews of Drake before and they’ve all degenerated into a confused string of expletives as Drake’s appeal continued to elude me. Now that he has the number one song in America once again I have to try again to crack the code of Drake. Oh, this is a challenge. Toosie Slide is yet another baffling bit of nonsense in which Drake sleepily name drops fashions and Michael Jackson.

'Make This Moment Last' by Jim Gaven
This live version of an original song, 'Make This Moment Last', was captured using an iMac in 2008 while I was living in New Hampshire for a brief period. As you can see from the footage, it is a little grainy. However, this was a brand new mainframe computer which captured the best it could at that time. Written about someone I was dating between 2005 and 2008, I thought this was the person I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with. It is a song about the feelings you might have for that special someone where you never want the time spent with them to come to an end. Have you ever felt like that? It is an amazing feeling. To me, it's nothing short of what eternity might be like--feeling at peace with everything and everyone for years and years to come. It is my belief that there is no concept of time in eternity, so one moment may actually be 1000 years.

Music Review: Kelly Clarkson 'I Dare You'
Sincerity in pop music is tricky. In the wrong hands, sincerity becomes saccharine, cloying or manipulative. It takes a well established and beloved artist to offer something heartfelt and intended for uplift. Kelly Clarkson, in my opinion, is one of the few modern pop stars capable of pulling off sincere. Kelly has cultivated a persona that is genuine, trusted, occasionally divisive but always appearing authentic.

11 Songs To Listen To On A Rainy Day.
Recently, two days ago, it was raining cats and dogs outside, and the weather was being a pain to the muscles in my legs and arms. While I was listening to my professor’s lecture on Zoom yesterday evening, I was starting to feel tired, so I fell asleep. When I woke up, my screen was black, and that’s when I realized that the session was over. I got out of my bed and noticed that it was still raining from that morning.

Song Review: 'Circles' by Post Malone is Pop Perfection
I would not say I qualify as a fan of Post Malone. I haven’t heard much of his music, despite his ubiquity, and I haven’t given much thought to what I have heard. Premise established, I love Circles. I adore this song. Yes, Circles is a very, very simple song. Yes, there isn’t anything groundbreaking in lyric or sound. I cannot stop listening to Circles. The tight bass line, the feathery light guitar and organ. I love it.

Musical Digest: Nothing But Thieves - "Is Everybody Going Crazy?"
Time to digest a recent release from one of my favorite UK bands, Nothing But Thieves. I'd like to point out that this band has not put out a song that I've not liked. At one point, I've had their music videos and lyrical videos on a loop on my TV nonstop.

Song Review: Dua Lipa 'Don't Start Now'
There is no end to the power of a deep bass groove. A great bass groove could make a Donald Trump COVID-19 briefing sound good. Dua Lipa’s new single, Don’t Start Now, has an incredible bass line. It’s derivative, it’s the kind of bass line that defined the best of the disco and funk era of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, but that doesn’t change the fact that the bass line is an absolute killer.

Song Review: The Weeknd 'Blinded by the Light' is an Aural Time Machine. Top Story - April 2020.
I want to live inside the synth track on The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights. Growing up in the 80’s, I feel like I did grow up inside that synth track. The Weeknd has taken us all back in time to 1981, the founding of MTV and the ascension of new wave. It’s beautiful, man. Often I have wondered if it were possible to recreate an aesthetic in art perfectly and The Weeknd has done it.

Musical Digest: Lindsay Lohan "Back To Me"
Life can seem a bit mundane, redundant and dismal as of late. We are cooped up inside of our houses, studio apartments, garages, and attics...like bats waiting for a flicker of hope...
