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…

I Don’t Like Dogs

I joined a Subreddit that shares my extremely unpopular opinion. I’m not sure it was a good idea.

I caught 19 @deadandcompany shows this tour and wrote about the band's farewell tour for @AtwoodMagazine. Give it a read! Summer of a lifetime to say the least

Spent some time camping in rural Tennessee to catch four @kinggizzard shows! They rocked a cave, dressed in drag, debuted some new tunes, and treated fans to a rare acoustic show. Check out my review for @AtwoodMagazine! atwoodmagazine.com/live-king…

The Cat Who Could Kill Horses

Chef Liz Johnson accused her husband and business partner, Will Aghajanian, of killing their cat. That’s just one part of the story.

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

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…
