Creationism
Introduction I have just started reading "Creation Stories: Riots, Raves and Running a Label" by Alan McGee and I have loved a lot of the releases from the label, some of which were big sellers and important releases. Thi sis from a time when music actually mattered to the mainstream rather than be something to fill a Spotify playlist.

An End Of Summer Playlist
Another summer is closing up, I’ve been thinking of the songs that make me think of summer. Personally, I love summer as much I complain about it’s heatwaves. I don’t regret any of the summers I’ve had wether they were bad or good. Every summer I create a playlist, some of these are the songs I’ve listened to all my life and some are new additions I picked up from my other summers.

PJ Harvey and Netflix's Shameless: A lyrical analysis and intertextuality
Around Fall of 2023, I started listening to PJ Harvey for the first time in my life, and at the same time, my mom started watching Shameless on Netflix. It's not the type of show I usually watch, but I couldn't help myself from sticking around the couch and finding out whether Fiona got to keep Liam from Monica in Season 1.

Rage Against The Machines
For this challenge, I am taking a different route and submitting a poem for the rap music genre. In the light of current events, I dug up this oldie, which was written straight off the top of my head, something rappers can relate to. Think: freestyle. My creative input may deviate from the task at hand in some aspects, but as a lover of all kinds of music and as a gal who likes to push boundaries, stepping outside the box is a personal must.

Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To - Album Review. Content Warning.
I love heavy music, and while I know it isn't for everyone, I find it deeply compelling. The naunces, the raw, often unapologetically unfiltered emotions, and the technical prowess that is so often on display thrill me. I know lots of people miss that and that's fine.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails . Content Warning.
Thirty years on, Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral still feels like a fresh breath of thick, toxic-filled, self-hatred-driven, cathartic air. This album is not a pretty journey to take. Anyone who has heard it will attest to that fact. So why have I chosen to write about its importance to me personally?

Preacher’s Daughter by Ethel Cain
2022’s Preacher’s Daughter by artist Ethel Cain has turned out to be one of my favorite albums of the past few years. In the spirit of celebrating great music, I wanted to dedicate some time to summarizing and briefly analyzing the record.
