hello, im thrilled to share that i wrote the cover story (my first!) for the newest issue of ANTICS. i profiled @pompomsquad , an artist near & dear to my heart.
im really proud of this piece & there are so many other amazing artists in this issue as well 🩵
seems like there’s a good amount of interest here, yay! I’ll work on a more formalized pitch call this week but feel free to reach out to me with any ideas/suggestions in the meantime!!
hello. i have brought this idea up in more than one group chat but would also like to propose it here: i am considering creating a carly rae jepsen zine to celebrate 10 years of emotion. would people be interested in contributing and/or purchasing a copy?

As with every year, Kayla does a fantastic job rounding up some of the most interesting people writing about K-pop to create a year-end list that is always better than, sorry, different from the others! And it's always an honor to contribute.
The Pop Excellence Favorite K-pop Singles list is back for another year! Our 2024 list features 12 voters, a final top 20, and (IMO) the best set of results we've ever had. Today, we're kicking things off with the introduction and five honorable mentions. popexcellence.wordpress.com/…

when i eventually get to the business of a newsletter, the first issue will be about how dullness has overtaken my relationship to music. the danger of tracking consumption, listening hours, lastfm grids. how i can barely read an album review without my heart skipping a beat.

I’ve been really interested in the recent K-pop solo boom lately, particularly as soloists from the biggest K-pop groups are turning their attention to the West, and are being rewarded for it.
It was fun to dig into the data for this Chartmetric piece.

anyone want to have a torrid love affair with me that’s only communicated through forum posting on an uninhabited livejournal page

none of you will ever see my "wrapped" "replay" "whatever" and it's certainly not bc i'm embarrassed of it & think it represents one of the most draining years i've had wherein the act of "posting and writing about listening to music" became emotionally and mentally taxing for me
