My 21st Century Blues | Records on Rewind
My second concert this year is RAYE at the end of April. I want to say… Like most folks, I found out about her when Escapism. took off. Her voice and vibe are so elegant and cool—a jazz-y, soulful voice, with a touch of electronic, hip-hop, and R&B. After I hopped on the bandwagon, I…

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill | Records on Rewind
On the first edition of Records on Rewind, I’m highlighting Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. An album I’ve heard nothing but praise for for years. I’ve wanted to get the record ever since I got a record player. But I’ve never found it on resale. Can’t say I’m surprised, it’s not one I…

Introducing: Records on Rewind
Welcome to my next side quest/hyperfixation/thing I’ll be writing about. There was a time, in my youths, I wanted to be a pop star. Didn’t we all? … No? …Maybe just me? I was home alone a lot. I would BELT out with music videos. Anyone here alive when The Box was on cable TV?…

Bridgerton S4, P1 | TV Time
Happy Season 4, Part 2 Bridgerton day! Here’s a recap review of the show over the years. First off, I have the same complaint as my Stranger Things rant about the time between seasons. I had to look it up, and it’s been 1.5 years between Season 3 and this first drop of Season 4.…

Finding Her Edge | TV Time
Ya’ll, I got sick, and watched too much TV. Could use some recommendations, because I am running out of things that are actually worthwhile. Finding Her Edge came out right when I was one with the couch. I thought it was a new take on The Cutting Edge, which they shout out in the show.…

His & Hers | TV Time
Netflix heavily promoted this show on its front page for the first couple of weeks. I didn’t quite know what the show was about, aside from being a thriller. But I am a Tessa Thompson fan—I think she’s so slept on—and I needed something to watch. I watched the first episode and was not convinced.…

Heated Rivalry | TV Time
It’s all the rage. I kept hearing about it everywhere I turned, and to be honest, I was nervous it was going to be all hype. I knew it was a book adaptation, but I hadn’t read the series, so I really only knew what I had been hearing. A smutty, gay, ice hockey series.…

Mother Mary Comes To Me | The Book Nook
This book really struck a cord with me. As I’m writing this it is one of three books I’ve physically completed part of the anti-brain rot challenge. Actually, including my audiobooks too. I’ve started a bunch of books, but I’m either in the middle of or lost interest in them. To be honest, I don’t…

Stranger Things | The State of Television
It’s time for a revolution in television. Since the age of streaming began, there’s been a shift in what television is. IMO, not for the better. With the series finale of Stranger Things, I can’t stop thinking about the television I grew up on. Mainly about how the content, quality, and cadence are so different.…

Reading Challenge | The Book Nook
While I’ve been back into my reading groove and my brain rot apps have been pumping me with anti-brain rot content. I figured I should maybe listen the algorithm Gods on this one. Basically, I’ve been getting a lot of content about reading more and reading more intentionally. Most of what I read is Young…

Challengers | Movie Night
As Tashi would say… “COME ON”! This is one of the few movies I kinda knew what to expect, and it didn’t disappoint. Usually, I end up being underwhelmed, but not this time. It’s really just nice to see original stories. I think I mentioned this in the Baby Reindeer post. There are just so…

Baby Reindeer | What Are You Watching?!
I had been looking for something new to watch. Then I saw some posts on Instagram on how there was a crazy new show based on a true story and I was intrigued. I headed straight to Netflix… And I really didn’t move for several hours. This is the creator of the show’s true story,…
