National Library Week: A Celebration of Books Through Music

It’s National Library Week here in the United States, and this year’s theme is “There’s More to the Story.” This is definitely fitting (for our purposes, at least), especially given the fact that this article is not only about libraries themselves... but also about music related to stories or literature in some way. Before we get to all that, we need to set the record straight: libraries are awesome. While COVID may have had a tremendous impact on library systems due to closures and low foot traffic, and many people consider libraries to be ‘dead’... They aren't. But they do need your help.

Thoughts On grandson and His ILYIT Listening Event in New York City

“[I’m frequently asked], ‘why do you write about what you write about?’ Well, because I grew up the way that I did.” - Jordan Benjamin (grandson).  If you live near New York and follow internationally-acclaimed alt rock artist grandson, then you probably heard about the I Love You, I’m Trying listening event in Central Park that occurred earlier today; maybe you saw the ILYIT signs while out on a walk around the park... You might’ve even gotten coordinates sent to your phone, which, if plugged into your GPS app of choice, would’ve sent you to a random field in the middle of The Ramble, a woodsy part of the park with trees so tall you might even be able to forget that you’re in New York City for a while. (Or, if you’re lucky like me, your GPS might have sent you to two ...

6 Rock Bangers From 2006 You Probably Forgot About

Ahhh, 2006... the year in which Twitter first launched, Western Union sent its last telegram, Beyoncé was at the top of the charts, colorful ketchup* was discontinued, and the world lost an icon (Steve Irwin) to a freak stingray accident.
