The Crazy Train of Life:
I was born in 1984. Two of my favorite uncles introduced my parents, and both of them were really into the music scene in Oregon (yes, connected to things like the Grateful Dead and the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, for context). They were also very into wrestling. Often, both of these uncles, who were my favorites when I was a kid, would babysit me.

“More Than a Melody: The Deep Roots of Music in Human Life”
Everyone is familiar with music. It is said to be the food of the soul. We hear music everywhere: in shopping malls, concerts, halls and festivals. Even when there is none playing, we often hear it inside our heads. Because music occupies so much of our lives, could it have played an important role in the development of the species?

She Writes Her Own Rules: Stunna Sandy and the Art of the Bad Gyal Anthem by NWO Sparrow
Bad B**** Music & Gold Dreams: The Rise of Stunna Sandy From the moment she laughed off my first question, “How does it feel to know you’re next?”, I knew this wasn’t just another interview. Most rising talents hope for the spotlight , Stunna Sandy commands it, with the casual magnetism of someone who’s already won. Her voice, soft but with Brooklyn bravado and Egyptian pride, didn’t pitch a dream, it narrated a takeover. By the time she casually mentioned “Make It Look Sexy” was only her third song ever, it hit me, I wasn’t just talking to a future star. I was talking to someone who’d already outgrown the word “rising.”

Louder Than Legends: Why Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath Were More Influential Than The Beatles
When it comes to musical influence, The Beatles are often worshipped as untouchable gods—the Mount Olympus of rock and pop. Their melodies, mop-tops, and psychedelic studio wizardry are burned into music history. But let’s be real: for countless working musicians, especially those who actually plug in an amp and bleed calluses onto their fretboards, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath rewired the entire musical universe in ways The Beatles never could.

The Song That Raised Me
The Song That Raised Me I was nine years old when I first heard “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman. The song wasn’t playing on the radio, nor did I stumble upon it through a playlist. It was a Sunday afternoon, and my father was cleaning out a box of old cassette tapes in our musty garage. He found one labeled “Road Trip Mix – Summer ’91” and slipped it into the dusty boombox like he was unsealing a memory. As the first melancholic chords hummed through the static, a quiet sort of reverence filled the space. My father paused, closed his eyes, and softly said, “This one got me through a lot.”

Songs that get stuck in your head (earworms)
It's 3 AM, and you're lying in bed trying to fall asleep when suddenly, without warning, your mind begins to play the opening bars of "Don't Stop Believin'" for what feels like the thousandth time today. You didn't choose this musical moment—it simply appeared, uninvited, like an overly enthusiastic house guest who refuses to leave. Welcome to the fascinating, sometimes maddening world of earworms.
