By Hannah Wisterman Music Journalist Artist: Jaws of Love Album: Tasha Sits Close to the Piano Label: K-Rizzla Records & House Arrest Distribution Release Date: September 22, 2017 It would be inaccurate to say that all acoustic indie pop albums sound the same. It’s more accurate to say that among the leagues of sad singers armed with guitars and pianos, it can be hard to stand out. In his solo […]
By Hannah Wisterman Blog Content Contributor Having expensive taste is a heavy cross to bear. I just can’t help that I feel my best when surrounded by the finer things in life. But all my heart’s deepest desires do not change my financial situation (hopelessly collegiate) and the severe case of money guilt that follows. In my situation, you could live by the creed that you have to suffer now […]
By Hannah Wisterman Music Journalist Life in Texas is hard for a few reasons. Among the difficulties Texans face is the heinous fact that we have no environmental cues to tell us when Halloween has come to town. Target sets up the costume aisle, pumpkin spice everything begins populating HEB shelves, yet the temperature stays summery and the trees resolutely hold on to their green leaves. So, it’s up to […]
By Hannah Wisterman Blog Content Contributor There are so, so, so many things to get upset about. Midterms are sweeping the campus, natural disasters just keep happening, you miss your family, the neighbor didn’t let his dog come say hi to you—all totally reasonable things to get you in a funk. When one thing after another just keeps building up, you may find yourself staring an emotional breakdown in the […]
By Hannah Wisterman Blog Content Contributor It’s been a little over nine months since I made a pact with myself to be more interesting. This New Year’s, I was convinced that was the best resolution I could make. See, I have a long history of being pretty boring. I’m something of a homebody, I don’t party or go on thrilling trips, I don’t even follow TV shows. I’m the kind […]
By Hannah Wisterman Blog Content Contributor There’s nothing quite like winged eyeliner—with the perfect sharp wing, you can communicate fearlessness, conviction, dominance, a steady hand and dedication. If someone’s eyeliner is razor sharp and refuses to budge, that person already has my admiration and respect. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to pull off the look myself. It’s a combination of things: I’m impatient, I can never get the wings symmetrical, […]
By Hannah Wisterman Music Journalist How many of us speak no Spanish and yet love singing along to “Como La Flor”? Or have gone through a heavy K-pop phase and used the common catchphrase, “I have no idea what they’re saying, but it’s catchy”? Clearly, language is no barrier to enjoying music. In fact, one could argue that the language of origin gives songs a certain flavor that they would […]
By Hannah Wisterman Blog Content Contributor The aux cord might as well have been a noose for the radio industry. Walk into any introductory mass communication class, and the professor can tell you: people would rather listen to their own hand-picked playlists than sit through the same five commercials to hear the same 10 songs over and over. Our little devil-boxes (read: phones) can give us exactly what we want […]
By Hannah Wisterman Blog Content Contributor This year, Sound on Sound is bringing the heat with their lineup, with headliners like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pusha T, Iggy Pop, Austra, Kehlani, and much, much more. The festival will be held in Sherwood Forest, southeast from Austin, Texas, from November 10 to 12. You can make camping part of your Sound on Sound experience, either by staying in your own tent kingdom […]
