How Music Brings Movies and Video Games to Life
People don’t always notice how much music is doing in movies and video games—but once you start paying attention, it’s kind of impossible to ignore. It’s one of those things that works in the background, but completely changes how we experience what’s on screen.
The Art of Songwriting
Songwriting is something a lot of people pay attention to, but not everyone really thinks about what goes into it. For me, it’s always felt like more than just making music…It’s always to say things that are hard to explain in regular conversation. Sometimes you don’t even fully understand what you’re feeling until you start writing it down, and that’s where songwriting becomes really meaningful.
Things We Miss, And Why They Should Return
We’re basically the last generation that really remembers what life was like before everything lived on a screen. And honestly, that feels like a flex. We got the best of both worlds. We know how convenient things are now with streaming, AI, and countless number of apps. But we also know what it felt like when moments weren’t constantly interrupted, recorded, or rushed. There was a certain vibe to life that is hard to replicate today, a kind of patience and presences that made even the small things feel meaningful.
The Healing Power of Music: Exploring Music as Therapy
Music functions as one of the most accessible and powerful forms of therapy, offering emotional, cognitive, and physical benefits that reach people of all ages and backgrounds.

Pluribus, House, and Loneliness
SPOILERS if you have not watched House or Pluribus!
It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter what you do. As humans, one thing is certain: we need each other.
I saw Pluribus over the winter break. It was great (go figure, Vince Gilligan made it). It centers around Carol Sturka, the most miserable person in the world, and her journey through the “joining” of the human race, of which she was inexplicably immune to, and the process of which resulted in the death of her wife.
Why Are We Only Romantic on February 14th?
Valentine’s Day is coming. You can feel it in the air. Or maybe that’s just the smell of overpriced roses and last-minute panic-buy chocolate.
Every year on February 14th, the world collectively decides, “Yes. Today. Today is the day we prove we are in love.” As if love has a calendar reminder set once a year. Thanks, Valentine’s Day. Very efficient.
Kanye West: The Extreme Human Experience
Effectively immortalized in the world of art and creation, the story of Kanye West is woven into the folklore of my generation. His eras and albums run like an on-demand TV show; but for some, they stopped watching a couple of seasons ago.
Tired of Your Couch? Go See Some Bands This Saturday
Not sure what you’re doing this weekend, but if the plan is “sit around and refresh the same three apps,” we have an alternative. There’s a live show happening in Sacramento that gives you a reason to leave the house, hear some music, and maybe remember that people still do things in real life.
