Pumps, Pirouettes, and Pop Perfection: Inside ADÉLA’s Must-Listen Debut Album PRIMA. Top Story - September 2026.
As I embark on my 23rd anniversary of celebrating living in the United States as a proud Slavic immigrant who " was like eight working the night shift to learn English...I'm like a spy, I studied this shit, call me the KG, bitch "...I feel very assimilated, proud, and comfortable calling myself a Polish-American, feeling content in that identity marker, and determined to fill the prophecy of being successful in my own right and on my own terms.

10 Weirdcore Tracks That Sound Like a Fever Dream. Top Story - August 2026.
With the popularity of liminal photography and films like 2026's Backrooms , weirdcore is having a moment. It's not quite horrorcore, but it's not clean and cheerful enough to fit into the pop categories, either. Some artists ditch the pop influences and veer off in another direction, creating music that sounds like the soundtrack to a child's nightmare. Whatever the case, this playlist contains weirdcore tracks from all ends of the spectrum--and if you're ready to get weird, sit back and let these songs plunge you into a feverish haze.

'The Beach Boys Love You'. Top Story - August 2026.
While during the summer of 1976, The Beach Boys publicity machine was insisting that "Brian Is Back", Rolling Stone Magazine assigned journalist David Felton to interview Brian Wilson and document his return to the limelight in a cover story ultimately titled "The Healing Of Brother Brian". The article revealed the complexities involved with Brians return the official marketing campaign was largely overlooking with extensive interviews with Brian and his publicity seeking therapist Dr. Eugene Landy. Much of the descriptions of Landy and his oversight of Brians life and therapy tactics were quite disturbing to say the least. While the article did close on a semi-optimistic note emphasizing that Brian was once again writing songs for future Beach Boys albums. Fortunately, by the end of 1976 Dr. Landy was fired by The Beach Boys management due to his fees eating into the group's profits and with Brian in relatively good enough shape to no longer require Landy's services.

One Music Video and I Was Gone. Top Story - July 2026.
I am not surprised that I got into collecting. I saw my dad amass comic books throughout my life, and my younger sister followed suit. My collecting went through different eras: books, Pokémon cards, and Beanie Babies. However, what dragged me through the rabbit hole of collecting was K-Pop (Korean pop music).

Desolation Row by Bob Dylan --Final Verse
When putting together the 100 Songs That Made Me project, I grouped the songs into ten categories. Over the decades, Desolation Row has become a foundational song for me, one of my top five favorites of all time. I placed Desolation Row at the beginning of a category I called Fabled Momentum . This category includes songs that move like novels because of their accumulating character, consequence, and meaning throughout their length. Literary comparisons include Leo Tolstoy, whose novels argue that history is made not by great men but by the accumulated weight of ordinary lives in motion, as well as Scheherazade, who survives One Thousand and One Nights by keeping her narrative alive one night at a time.
