So, I was the given the opportunity to stab through a bass drum with the words “Fuck 2016,” but I’ll get to that in a bit. Piss Shivers rocked out two really good events at Backspace awhile back.The first one was … Continue reading Fightin’ the Good Fight

Hey y’all! Throwing out a random post here because I just had to share the greatness that is Kimbra. If you haven’t heard her yet, this’ll be an amazing introduction. Artist Journal, seemingly a video project dedicated to looking at the process of songwriting, does such a gorgeous job filming her performance of “As You Are,” from her second album The Golden Echo (Seriously, check that out). Let me know what you think in the comments! Especially the song’s idea of a seemingly sacred place for vulnerability between lovers.

The coworkers and I were getting through a heavy load of donations (we’re part of non-profit thrift store that’s partnered with a local shelter for domestic abuse victims) when someone came up from the front of the store and was like, “did you hear about Prince dying?” Everyone turned to her, stopping whatever we were doing.

Of course, this became the bustle of talk for about 20 minutes. … Continue reading R.I.P. to a Beautiful Man (on Prince and how he changed my outlook on music, gender roles, and the Artiste)

Regularly through my life I’ve had doubts, and consistently through my life they’ve stopped me from following my dreams. When I was 10, and I loved listening to and singing along to my favourite albums, I was so shy that… Continue reading What do people thank me for? (Day 3, LYL blog challenge)
