Fallout New Vegas Helped Me to Listen
I have a habit of talking a lot. When my excitement and passion get the best of me, I talk over people, even when I try not to.
I was either overly interrupting or getting caught up in all the other details and not the actual words. But despite the reminders, warnings, and at times scoldings, from teachers and friends, nothing exposed my listening skills more than the hellish wasteland of the Mojave in Fallout: New Vegas.

“life so funny, it gotta be a joke” – Edward King Bass IV on ‘Life’s So Funny’
Tame Impala Concert Reivew
Why yes! Knowledge is absolutely power! But “The Less I Know the Better” will always hit!
Going to a Tame Impala concert feels exactly like one of his songs. Colorful, groovy, slightly chaotic, and just disorienting enough that you’re like, “Wait…where am I?” Giving you that instant floating feeling or feeling like you’re going to be just fine.

In a Time of Cuts and Silence, Sacramento Actor Brian Rivera Says This ‘Macbeth’ Is a Fight to Be Seen
SAN FRANCISCO – Brian Rivera doesn’t romanticize what it means to be an actor right now.
“It’s heartbreaking,” he said plainly.
The Sacramento native is currently performing in the world premiere of Macbeth at San Francisco’s Magic Theatre – a stripped-down, 95-minute adaptation set in 1970s New York City. But behind the production’s grit and urgency is something heavier: a theater industry shrinking in real time, and artists struggling to stay afloat.
Lancey Foux & the Habitable Rap Underground
The UK rap scene itself has always been a tight knit music movement. Not only because of geography but also because they never subscribed to a genre; new styles have merged from the UK scene instead of latching onto western created lanes.

Djo Concert Review
Knock, knock. Who’s there? Djo. Djo-who? Djo-mama!
Okay – had to get that out of my system.
Mo Salah. A Forever Red
All the way from Nagrig, Egypt to Liverpool, the Egyptian King has chosen to close his 9 year reign over Anfield’s soldiers in the summer of 2026.
The first time I ever saw Mo Salah or heard his name was in 2018 on a random UK sports channel broadcasting street interviews from fans speaking adoringly about Mo Salah’s play. And once I saw him play, my eyes haven’t moved away; I wish they never could.
Dreamy Frequencies Only
You’ve heard the phrase “you are what you eat” at least once in your lifetime, if not many. How often are we reminded that we are, too, the music we consume? The lyrics we register in our head, recite back aloud, repeat like a mantra when they get stuck in our head?
The Beauty of Breakup Songs
Breakups are the worst. They really are. But there is a necessary balance in the universe that helps to even out the bad with something good. And I would argue that certain breakup songs are even better than good. They are cathartic, angsty, and work in mysterious ways to put together the broken pieces of our aching hearts.
