We're back with another day of Wikipedia surfing with Harmony Woods—aka pasting "Special:Random" in the Wikipedia search bar (when I just typed that, the Ghost blogging interface tried to correct it to a dice emoji, which was nice 🎲) and clicking until you see a

I got a press invite to an interesting show last week—Joan As Police Woman (the alias of singer-songwriter Joan Wasser) was playing an intimate gig at the Cha Cha Lounge in Silver Lake. This invite was intriguing to me for three reasons: 1) I love a gig invite (I

How to find new-to-you music? Let Mr. Spotify decide for you? Read the Pitched Fork? Ask your mom what she's vibing on these days? Give up and let autoplay take the wheel? How about trying something different...and exciting...that uses the power of the internet and the

I read an absolutely wild piece of music writing last week.

Sometimes it's fun to trace a particular musical enjoyment back to its origins. For example, why was I at the Cheekface show last week? Well... I'd seen the band name bantered around "music Twitter" a bit but did not investigate... ...then writer Jami Fowler

On the first of the month, or the weekday closest to it, I publish "The Music Enjoyer," which is a content series in which I ask music-oriented people for a bit of their musical DNA — the music they listened to when they were younger, the music they listen
