22 songs about being 22

Evan McKenna | Monday, April 25, 2022

Somewhere down the line, we decided that certain ages are inherently more important than others. You always hear about 16. Legal systems around the world love 18 for some reason.

Kanye West, Ranked: Part 1

Christopher Parker | Thursday, April 16, 2020

I was born in May of 2000 with two older siblings: an 11-year-old brother and a seven-year-old sister. By age five or six, my earliest memories of music involved crouching next to my brother as he used LimeWire to burn a blank CD full of blink-182, Usher and plenty of Kanye West. I got in

To ‘All My Friends’

Mike Donovan | Friday, March 20, 2020

“It comes apart / the way it does in bad films.” Three years on and more — the hang of things still elusive — approaching a sequence “when the moral kicks in,” bringing four years of triumphs and foibles into fresh perspective.

A shallow dive into songs about Marias

Maria Leontaras | Wednesday, April 10, 2019

Since you’re here, I think you know this about me. If not, here’s the obvious: my name is Maria. There are many good things that accompany the name. It’s relatively short. It’s easy to pronounce. It has treated me well. But there are a few downsides, including but not limited to being in a room

Top-four ‘Hallelujah’ TV uses

Colleen Fischer | Tuesday, November 13, 2018

I often turn to TV to get my drama fix, in a feeble attempt to avoid it in my actual life. TV shows use many features to hype up emotional responses.
