When I realized I couldn’t be Neil Peart, my dream shifted to interviewing him. That day never came. And instead, I remember him with these words. My first piece for @billboard: how Peart’s virtuosity changed the modern drum solo billboard.com/articles/colum…

This is literally the first time I've seen this game *not* attached to a south park clip. Wasn't even sure if it was a real game...

I can confidently say @deadandcompany has never sounded better. Was @Cornell '23 an anomaly? I sure hope not. But D&C absolutely honored the Dead's '77 show while making it their own. Summer tour should be great, check out my review of the show!

46 years later, Cornell 5/8/77 lives up to its status as one of the Dead's most legendary shows. When D&C announced a show on 5/8 I was skeptical they'd try to recreate the magic in some kitschy benefit concert way. Happy to report that wasn't the case. Review coming soon
Mon. 5/8/23 Barton Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY Showtime: 733pm-11:40pm Next show: Fri. 5/19/23 LA Forun 📷: Matt Busch

I met my husband & many of my dearest friends in a newsroom. This speaks to me: “There were weirdos . . . and fabulous role models occasionally, and the spirit of being part of a motley entourage. Now, it’s just you and the little cursor on your screen.” nytimes.com/2023/04/29/opini…

.@giftbandnyc has been one of the most fun bands to see rise in the post-pandemic New York scene. I caught up w/ front man TJ Freda and multi-instrumentalist Jessica Gurewitz to talk headlining a Europe tour, their @Pitchfork review, and their debut LP bkmag.com/2023/04/28/gift/
