The Dixie Chicks make a big return with “Gaslighter”
(03/29/20 10:31pm)
In a nutshell, the Dixie Chicks are back and better than ever. Earlier this March, the American country (some might even say a touch folk-y, or country-pop) band released their first song in 14 years. And it did not disappoint.

(03/29/20 6:54pm)
In the first scene of FX on Hulu’s new comedy series “Dave,” you get the whole picture on the biggest insecurity faced by protagonist Dave Burd, otherwise known as internet rapper Lil Dicky.

The film highlights the unlikely relationship between misfit Theodore Finch (Justice Smith) and sociable-turned-quiet Violet Markey (Elle Fanning), after the passing of her sister in a traumatic car accident.

SNL's Identity Crisis
(03/12/20 1:00pm)
For as long as I was able to stay up past my bedtime, I’ve watched Saturday Night Live. When I was younger, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig and Andy Samberg were my comedic idols. My parents would show me old SNL skits from the heyday of Steve Martin, Gilda Radner and Billy Crystal. Obviously a comedy sketch show that is over 40 years-old is going to go through its highs and lows but recently I came to the realization that SNL doesn’t seem to know what it is anymore.

Fitz and The Tantrums jolt The Sylvee, reveal genre fluidity
(03/04/20 7:22pm)
Attending (and enjoying) the Fitz and the Tantrums concert this past Friday was a bit of a fluke — a friend of mine was a fan, yet I ended up going alone among the masses of indie pop fans cramming into The Sylvee. With a few special songs I was particularly looking forward to, I entered the venue with limited expectations and a somewhat open mind.

After waiting five years, we finally can listen to a Tame Impala album other than “Currents”or “Lonerism” on repeat. Kevin Parker, the creative mind behind Tame Impala, kept us all in suspense for way too long for this album release, so I would have been incredibly disappointed if it was lackluster.

Pip the Pansy Dazzles Earthlings in Madison
(02/20/20 4:07pm)
On a cold Wisconsin Valentine’s Day, Pip the Pansy’s bright, upbeat and powerful performance offered a pleasant escape from the weather outside. On a stage dressed with flowers, her dark, heavy synth contrasted with light, punchy melodies and mystic flute solos to give her a strong electro-pop sound. Her music was at the same time both uplifting and easy listening, as well as personal, emotional and impactful.
Pitchfork’s Pretentious Problem
(02/20/20 2:00pm)

'High Fidelity' hits all the right notes in new Hulu series
(02/18/20 2:00pm)
What do you get when you mix together a moody, confused and narcissistic record store owner, a Brooklyn-based backdrop that comes straight down from the romantic comedy heavens and enough musical and pop-cultural references to make your head spin in circles?
