I worked from home for the first two years of my career (if you can call it such a thing when you’re 21), and while that seemed like a dream to me initially (and every ? single ? one ? of my friends), it certainly came with some struggles as time went on. Here’s what …
Pump up the jams with these fresh music finds from the past few days. Womxn – Låpsley When I first heard this, I thought it was Ria Mae, but it’s not. Tune in for some chill synth vibes by this up-and-coming English artist. Harvest Moon – Poolside I dig the summery beach vibe spin that …
Here’s a round-up of some cool stuff I enjoyed this week in music, scenery, and space! SCENE STEALERS The stunning images from the Landscape Photographer of the Year competition are well worth a scroll through. I especially love the photo below of Space X exhaust plume above Sierra Nevada (taken by Brandon Yoshizawa.) Do yourself …
Rostam Batmanglij has been quietly making a name for himself as a killer producer and vocal contributor. Plus, he’s already performed on SNL seven times. While I dig a lot of his own music, he’s also worked on some of my favourite songs over the past few years, including collaborations with Maggie Rogers, HAIM, Francis …
Growing up the youngest in a big family, I was always the first one kicked off the TV, and my saving grace was my parents’ reject “Rabbit Ear” TV that nobody wanted to use (save me!) In fact, my dream of being an adult was to have my own PVR with “the good channels” where …
Every week is a good week for space. Being in a time where we can better understand and observe the universe is, in my opinion, one of the best parts of being born into this time (other close contenders include: “the right to vote”, “penicillin”, “The Expanse”.) Here’s some of the cool space stuff I’ve …
Having recapped my trip to upwards of 40 people over the last few days, I thought I’d share my top New Zealand spots – if only to keep their fond memory burning brightly in my brain. I should preface by saying that I am very much a nature/scenery person, so I will quite “naturally” gravitate …
I’ve always loved sharing the music I’ve been listening to. In high school, I would spend considerable time burning CDs for friends personalized with music I’d think they’d like. My first Facebook group (back when it was restricted to university-only persons) was “Kathryn’s Music Circle.” We’ve come aways, haven’t we? No? No. So, in the …
I recently returned from doing my DREAM TRIP to New Zealand that I’ve wanted to do since I was 14. It took over half my life to actually do it. Why? Because I freaking waited to go with someone. But, finding someone who shares your travel ambition, and the time and resources to do it…well, …
One of the cool things I found out while at Mt. John Observatory in Tekapo, NZ is that Betelgeuse (one of three stars in Orion’s Belt) has been dimming dramatically over the last few weeks. Now, it could ramp up activity, but so far all signs point to “no.” Now, what does that mean? Well, …
