A list of stupid things I have done since moving to NYC: chapter one

Since it's been just over two months: 

- gotten extremely lost on the subway. I believe I ended up in Soho? Well, whatever happened ended in tears, me screaming at people for money for a new metrocard and a panic attack that was subdued by some nice Australian (?) boy offering me candy. yeah I attract Australians like flies I don't get it either.

- drank a lot. this is stupid in any context; it's more stupid when you move to a major city and are confused by most things.

- gone to Harlem. at least this ends soon, but "harmless-looking white girl in Harlem" does not bode well. "harmless-looking white girl talking in a high-pitched voice to a designer dog" bodes EVEN WORSE.

- made the mistake of acknowledging bums. in Erie, bums are just...well, bums. HERE? it's like another continent. I feel like I'm in the Time Machine. 

- walked 30 blocks when it was 100+ degrees. didn't drink any water. you do the math.

- dark areas at night, by myself, creepy men. you do more math. 


I HOPE TO ADD MORE TO THIS SOON <3




oh before I forget
HAPPY 58TH BIRTHDAY DAD

"Anchors" - AM Higgins

Here's a nice breezy, almost sensual song from AM Higgins (the solo project of musician Annie Toth) to start your Tuesday off right.  Her debut album "Hymning" will be out November 5th on Victorialand Records. The album was mixed by Casey Foubert, a frequent collaborator of Sufjan Stevens. The album "captures the first years of moving from an American city to rural France." Sounds like "Hymning" will be a welcome escape from the world we live in right now, especially considering that Annie Toth counts poets Mary Oliver and Thomas Merton as influences.

"Happy New Year"- Let's Eat Grandma

There's no way to start the New Year like some extremely upbeat music about the New Year! That's where this new synthpop-heavy single from the British duo Let's Eat Grandma comes into play. It's a delightful song, and it helps increase any excitement about their third album, "Two Ribbons," which will be out this April. I personally am looking forward to hearing more from Let's Eat Grandma, who deserve way more attention than they currently get. Hopefully, 2022 will be a big year for them. Here's one of their older tracks I quite like:

You Need to Hear This: Concrete Castles

I first heard of First to Eleven a few years ago thanks to the powers of social media. They are a talented young band straight out of my hometown (Erie, PA). Since I've first heard of them, First To Eleven - which primarily were a social media-based cover band - has revealed an original music incarnation, Concrete Castles.  No matter if they're covering songs or releasing their own music, one thing is evident: Concrete Castles is MASSIVELY talented. Anchored by Audra Miller's powerhouse vocals that are vaguely reminiscent of Hayley Williams, Concrete Castles demand your attention. Although they can fall in that sort of amorphous "indie pop" umbrella, I don't think their sound would be amiss on mainstream radio - top 40 or alternative.  "Wish I Missed U" - their debut album - came out earlier this September, and it's an enjoyable, invigorating listen that would probably make those who were raised on emo or fans of CHVRCHES feel at home. Hell, Anth
