Fall Out Boy’s Diverse Line-up?
Over the past 10 to 15 years, there are very few bands that have grown and matured the way Fall Out Boy has. From being “Kings of Pop Punk” to “Gods of Arena Rock”, Fall Out Boy has climbed the mountain of success. I had the privilege to see them at the start of the fall semester, and the angsty teenager in me was not disappointed.

Father John Misty’s “God’s Favorite Customer” Review
Egotistical. Self-absorbed. Pretentious. These are all words commonly used to describe Joshua Tillman, or as he’s more commonly known, Father John Misty. However, these seemingly negative qualities account for why his music works. God’s Favorite Customer, released back in June, is a much more personal album than 2017’s grand and nihilistic social satire, Pure Comedy.

Rubblebucket’s “Sun Machine” is a Strange and Beautiful Paradox
The conventional idea of a soulmate is eternally endearing but instinctively impractical, and it really ought to be left in Disney movies. The idea that you could love one person and have that be enough for your entire life isn’t impossible, but at the same time it doesn’t seem incredibly likely. Marriage in America is a crumbling institution (anything with a near 50% failure rate is not working) and monogamy is being questioned more than ever.
Mac Demarco Live in Central Park Review
It is a known fact to every indie fan that Mac Demarco and live performances go together like cuffed pants and Vans. Demarco has been enriching, if not bewildering, the rock music world with his wacky yet wholesome performing style.

Gorillaz’s “The Now Now” is a Fever Dream in the Best Possible Way
Call me a fake Gorillaz fan, but there was about a five year gap between the last time I listened to a full Gorillaz album and their 2018 album, The Now Now. Somehow, I completely missed Humanz. Maybe I was trying to suppress the memory of a younger, angstier version of myself listening to them on my way to high school. For whatever reason, they were still in their Plastic Beach phase for me until a couple of months ago.
