Though Courtney Barnett, a 30-year-old singer-songwriter from Australia, released her second solo LP a couple weeks ago (Tell Me How You Really Feel, May 18)...that is not what I'm here to talk about. While it is a great album, I revisited the rest of her discography on a recent long drive and knew I had to … Continue reading Meagh’s Music Monday: Courtney Barnett
This morning, John Mayer posted a teaser video for his new single "New Light", asking his followers to check out the full-length video. The single is Mayer's first release since his 2017 album, The Search for Everything (which I had the immense pleasure of seeing live). The caption for the post reads as follows: I needed to … Continue reading everything john mayer was trying to tell us in his new video “new light”
I was seven years old and school was out for the summer. If I wasn't choroegraphing dances to the latest edition of "Now! That's What I Call Music", I was hanging out by the radio. My sister and I had a pretty bitchin' stereo with dual tape decks. We could spend hours parked in front … Continue reading Meagh’s Music Monday: Hanson
One of the first times Shannon Willis played her guitar "publicly", she was nowhere to be seen. Rather, her soft yet powerful voice and the mellow strums of John Lennon's "Imagine" provided what was supposed to be background music to a performance for a dance class. The tune captivated the audience and stole the show. This … Continue reading spotlight series: an interview with shannon willis, guitar player & cool girl
As I mentioned in my second post about Firefly over the summer, the first time I saw Chance the Rapper perform, I was so far away from the stage that I felt as connected to the performance if I had just watched it on my television at home. Luckily, I was given the ~chance~ to … Continue reading chance the rapper: forest hills stadium review
Before I went to Firefly Music Festival, my good friend Alexa told me she could not wait for me to have the experience because as a seasoned festival-goer, she has not found a place that makes her feel more self-assured and at peace. Alexa has a vested interest in this scene and I wanted to get … Continue reading festival fashion basics from a not so festival basic
So as I said in my first post about Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware, I wanted to make an entirely separate post about the performances I saw to really get into each one without posting a mini-novel that no one would read. And a month later, I am finally delivering. (To be fair, I … Continue reading my (even later) firefly round up pt. 2
Last month I set out to Dover, Delaware for my first-ever music / camping festival, Firefly. This was unlike anything I've done before: the closest I had come to camping prior was sleeping in a tent in my backyard with some friends one night in high school. I'm pretty sure we all went inside when … Continue reading my (kind of late) firefly round-up pt. 1
I'm assuming your choice to go to a concert alone was an intentional one. After all, you had the last seat in the row and the block of seats I was sitting in with my friends started right next to yours. My friend that sat next to you said that you were having a grand old … Continue reading to the girl who went to the john mayer concert alone (& why I admire her)
Happy, Happy New Year to you all! 2016 was a cool year for Mary and I, what with the establishment of the LipLiner and all. We're excited to continue using the site as an outlet for both ourselves, and hope it can continue being a place in which people feel like they can express themselves … Continue reading a reflection on our first year
