Review: LANY at The Anthem on April 12th
It’s been five years since my first LANY show, but five years does nothing to the way a LANY concert feels as the summer air starts to settle in.

“Before the Whole World:” Sahra Mani’s Bread & Roses
Do you remember where you were when you heard that U.S. troops had withdrawn from Afghanistan in 2021? I recall that moment in my high school civics class, arguing against my male peers that we simply could not expect to invade a country, prop up its government for twenty years, and then leave without expecting that system to stand without our aid.

Review: Cornelia Murr at Pearl Street Warehouse on March 13
This story starts with Storey Littleton. She has both hands occupied tuning her guitar to the different keys of each song, and in the midst of her plucking, I am encapsulated by her dress. A dress that mirrors the sun hitting the stained glass of Dahlgren Chapel with each sway to the beat of the melody and a statement piece I would definitely consider an “insane find” at the local thrift.

"A Part of the Furniture": Class & Georgetown Comparisons in Bridgerton’s Fourth Season
In the midst of controlled chaos, cooks peel mountains of vegetables, maids repolish tables and mantels, and the housekeeper, Mrs. Wilson, calls orders and organizes the humongous household, creating a serene environment by the time Lady Bridgerton arrived in her high-waisted silk dress and perfectly coiled curls. No thanks were offered to Mrs. Wilson nor any of the servants.

I Love the Way It Feels to Be a Hater of Music Today
If I see Benson Boone do a backflip one more time, I will lose it. The only mystical and magical thing about new music today is how much I hate it—or at least, how much I hate the Grammys.

The Stillness in the Belly of the Whale: Searows’ Death in the Business of Whaling
This Moby-Dick-inspired, hauntingly beautiful, and more musically expansive look into Duckart’s psyche is a sullen epic that further emphasizes the simple beauty of Searows’ songwriting.
