Songs the Meet the Moment: "u and me at home" - Wet Leg The news cycle under Trump makes me motion-sick. This song from Wet Leg is an anchor—a reflection on choosing connection as a sanctuary where we can be wide-eyed and level-headed for the fights ahead.

"I'm picking a spot on the horizon that I know will straighten the ever-blurring distance between my eyes and brain as I try to ride out these dizzying times, and "u and me at home" by Wet Leg is playing in the background."

Few songs make me stop and just feel the moment like Alphaville's "Forever Young." There's something about that blend of hope and melancholy that hits differently with every listen.

I do enjoy Steven Hyden's writing. I saved this a long time ago and finally got to listening to it. Now I need to listen to all the other articles in the series. So very good. #MusicWriting

Taking You With Me (WIP) Listen to Taking You With Me (WIP) by Tenshio #np on #SoundCloud

New music made on stream last night. The square lead is a placeholder for lyrics.

"If I'm going to Hell, I'm taking you with me"

Sex in pop lyrics isn’t the problem. Bad metaphors, broken grammar, and zero restraint are. If you have to explain the joke, it’s not funny.

Spent the last few days emailing, DMing across socials, and calling around trying to secure a press pass for an upcoming gig - no luck so far.

I've spent a large portion of the Holiday break writing music articles on thedeletebin.com and I have scheduled them FAR in advance—like, into 2027. That means that NO ONE CAN DIE if I've written about them and they aren't already dead. If they do, I will be VERY PUT OUT. #musicSky #musicWriting

Crowded mosh pit at a small punk show inside Unisound in Reading, Pennsylvania, with fans packed shoulder to shoulder, arms raised and bodies colliding in front of the band on a cramped stage.

Yesterday’s post, Aggressive Kindness, keeps ringing in my ears.

The older I get, the more it feels like the real legacy of those records isn’t the riffs, it’s the way they trained us to treat people.
