The People Responsible For Making Ambient Music Interesting Again
In 2010, I was at the height of my crippling gaming obsession. Every day was spent staring at an oversized TV through a greasy, straightened fringe, keeping myself hopped up on Rockstar Energy and Vitamin D supplements. It was an exciting time; wasting fools on Halo 3 and avoiding any conversation or social outing, thinking I was "alt" by throwing up a peace sign and not showering enough. I figured a personality wasn't necessary as long as you wore as much neon as you could and, instead of smiling, pull that sideways scrunched face people break out when they're insecure about their teeth. I wouldn't have talked to me, you wouldn't have talked to me, let's sit and pity me together.

Why 'Neon Gravestones' Is the Most Important Song on the Trench Album
We are two weeks into the Trench album, and just like every album Tyler, and Josh have given us a true piece of art. There is something refreshing about Twenty One Pilots songs, for each person this can be because of something different, but for me, it is refreshing to hear a band write, sing and perform about something as real as mental health, personal struggle, recovery, and how love will alway win. Every song on this album stood out to me, and made me feel like I wasn’t alone. But one song stuck out to me:

Top 10 Best Taylor Swift Songs
This is it. This is the list you've been waiting for. Let me start by saying one thing: This list was very difficult to form. I have been listening to Taylor for a really, really long time so most of her songs spark certain memories and feelings from my life, as it does for all of her loyal listeners (which is one of the things that makes Taylor so special, right?). But trying to narrow down ALL of her amazing songs into a short list of 10?! It was hard. Maybe I should have done a Top 20. Or 30.

Ben’s 10 - Billy Joel
Billy Joel is my favourite artist and has been since I can remember. I have grown up with his music and seen the Piano man live multiple times, with each one being an unforgettable experience. Whilst most people are familiar with the big hits: "Piano Man," "Uptown Girl," "The Longest Time," etc. I think that many of Joel’s best songs are not necessarily those that you’ll find on his greatest hits album. Below are 10 songs that you may not know, but should definitely listen to if you’re a fan of Billy Joel.

Music Review: 'Time'—Louis Cole
If you've paid any attention to bands like Snarky Puppy, KNOWER, or any type of jazz or nu-jazz artists, then you've probably heard of the name Louis Cole. He's a founding member of KNOWER and has done lots of collaborations with people over the years. If you still don't know him, you probably know him from his song "Bank Account" that became a meme for a brief stint.

My Favorite Summer 2018 Songs
As summer is coming to an end I thought it would be cool to share some of the tracks I have been loving during these hot months. It was definitely hard narrowing tracks down, hopefully, you enjoy the ones I picked and maybe you will take a listen.

Why Female Empowerment Pop Songs by Men Miss the Point. Top Story - August 2018.
I love pop music. But every now and then, I find a song that I can totally bump to… until I stop and listen to the lyrics. That’s when I get irrationally angry. And those are not rap songs. Rap has made its money demeaning women and promoting violence ever since I was born. No. I'm looking at you, Shawn Mendes and James Arthur.
