Frippology
Introduction My first encounter with the music of Bob Fripp was on the song "21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson on the sampler album "Nice Enough To Eat", but it was from their album "In The Court Of The Crimson King", a blueprint and initiation of Progressive Rock.

Colatura’s EP ‘I Wanna Get Better’: Official Music Video starring Megan Osyen
This catchy and upbeat, yet introspective song evokes deep-rooted feelings of nostalgia, with the rising actress Megan Osyen (an English/Welsh film actress; a graduate of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts; currently based in New York) being the channel through which the tender themes shine through. The song is ethereal, dotted with beautifully textured riffs - a rich composition.

Ethel Cain’s Gorgeous New Single: A Heart-Wrenching Story of Love and Loss
Ethel Cain has dropped. I repeat, Ethel Cain has dropped a new single. Hayden Anhedönia, known professionally as Ethel Cain, has released music for the first time since her EP Perverts back in January, a fantastic, experimental drone music album that saw her exploring new sounds and themes. Her latest single “Nettles” sees her returning to form a bit as she prepares to release her second studio album Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You in August, which serves as both a follow-up and a prequel to her 2022 record Preacher’s Daughter.

Better Than a Freestyle: How Spill It’s Cypher Series Became the Ultimate Theatric Showcase for New Talen
The Hidden Genius of Spill It’s ‘Class Is In Session’ Cypher: Lyricism as Theater The moment the camera pans across a dimly lit classroom setup, chalkboards scrawled with hip-hop messaging, vintage desks arranged like pews in a music room , it’s clear Spill It Entertainment’s Sweet 16: Cypher Sessionz isn’t just another rap showcase. The Class Is In Session episode, one of four in this visually stunning series, reimagines the cypher as performance art, where Spill It turns the cypher into a classroom where bars become the assigment and the mic transforms into a graduation cap. This is hip-hop with honors. Featuring rising indie talents like Nikko Tesla, Kony Brooks, Johnnie Floss and Durgaveli, this isn’t merely about spitting bars; it’s about platform building through rhyme, where the set design, fashion, and cadences collectively resurrect the golden era of hip-hop while utilizing today’s rap landscape on a curve.

Music IS a Drug
Introduction This is a Seven Days In piece that is getting a few reads, and the title intrigued me (even though I actually wrote it). On reading, I thought it was worth sharing on Vocal, now that I can publish on my main account.

Isabel (You Are My Mother)
In 2024 I wrote about 30+ lyrics for songs I would create using AI and digital tools. Somewhere within those 30+ the thought came to me that my mom deserves to be memorialized in song. She is an amazing person. Yes, I am biased but the lady truly is wonderful. She has done a lot of things to help others but first and foremost she has been one great mom. She and I have always had a very close relationship.
