Really glad I went to college during a pandemic and am job searching during a looming recession. Couldn’t have timed it better. This has all been great for my mental health. Great!

THANK YOU to @hanevold.bsky.social for the kind words on Rapt's 'Until the Light Takes Us' for Sounds Great!

So many standout snippets — Shaq, the Haw Creek stories, the preview of the new Wednesday — but I most enjoyed knowing that MJ & Katie Crutchfield & Kevin Morby bonded while watching a basketball series that broke my spirit.

The new Winona Fighter album doesn't have any love songs Pop-punk songwriter Coco Kinnon talked with Sounds Great about the Nashville punk scene, "I Think You Should Leave" and never writing love songs.

For this week's Sounds Great, I talked to Winona Fighter about their killer debut album, My Apologies To The Chef.

Happy Valentine's Day, but this one doesn't have any love songs.

The last few weeks have felt super hollow and aimless but i think the issue is just that I haven’t been listening to enough Girl Talk
