I am a middle-of-the-road millennial, and increasingly I catch myself having more and more “we used to drink from the hose” moments. We used to take group photos and make silly faces — it wasn’t cool to try to look hot. We used to choose what music we wanted to

Beyoncé once said, "You said you outside, but you ain't that outside." Maybe she drew some inspiration from parenting newborns. I was once quite outside and now I would say I am inside, so it's been different to get the majority of my musical

hi guys I just had a baby so I Enjoy Music is "on maternity leave" for a little bit. This was written right before baby arrival. But there are a few great posts scheduled for the future – like this interview with NYC designer/music impresario about town Serge

If I could describe the new Water From Your Eyes album It's A Beautiful Place I would say it lives at the intersection of art and technology. No, no, I am just kidding—it lives at the intersection of Pure Moods and Guitar Hero. Can a good riff

The internet is one of the places where I live, and so a few days ago I was in my home, scrolling, and I saw a photo. I shared it on Bluesky already and a lot of people responded with some version of "none of these words are in

Summer '25. Weird summer. I think we can all say the vibes have gone awry. I'm in my 'third trimester' and my unborn child has stopped being polite and started getting real. Once upon a time I wrote a thesis about James Joyce's

Tyler, the Creator just dropped a delightfully upbeat new album called Don't Tap The Glass. Its launch included a social graphic missive from Tyler in which he discusses a contemporary societal ill with a big ol' wall of text. "I ASKED SOME FRIENDS WHY THEY DONT

I found out about the Alex Warren Chipotle album premiere at a likely place: the Time Crisis subreddit. The internet radio show, hosted by Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig and visual artist Jake Longstreth, has two primary topics, which are music and “corporate food history." So it makes sense

This mix...it's MEGA?! First thing's first, have you checked out I Enjoy Remixes? The new music label portion of the I Enjoy Music experiment? Two artists remix one another's tracks. That's the concept. Simple stuff...or is it?? Maybe it'

My friend Matthew just sent out a newsletter featuring three playlists he made inspired by the NYC record store Other Music. Third on the second playlist (Vol. 2. 2002-2003) is the song "Me and Giuliani Down By The Schoolyard - A True Story" by the band !!!. What a

In The Parent Trap (1998), the nefarious would-be stepmom Meredith Blake calls herself "someone who got their [12-year] molars very early in life." This is a hilarious way to describe precociousness, and it reminds me of how everyone treated Lorde when she blew up at age sixteen. No

I thought this summer was going to be chill but I've been running around like a lil headless chicken. First, because listening to James Frey's episode of How Long Gone has completely rewired my brain about self-promo, I must remind you that I Enjoy Music is
