2ŁØT are one of those brilliant bands blending R&B and electronic music into soulful blends that share music DNA with brilliant UK groups like Rudimental and Jungle.

In my reading life, especially as I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for short stories and fallen in love with novellas and novelettes,
It’s the shortest text we’ve covered so far, and the oldest of its kind in the world. Referred to as a trauma-informed document by one constitutional scholar (there’s your clue), it was born of a major screw-up in the aftermath of the American Revolution that left laws unenforceable and foreign policy a hot, hot mess.
It’s June 30th, which means two things. One: it’s the fifth Tuesday of the month, which is usually a quieter time for new releases—but there are some stellar titles included in that smaller batch.

I love cozy fantasy with my whole heart. It’s truly a genre I can’t get enough of. But I’ve noticed that the genre—or at least the more publicized parts of it—is saturated with romance. To be clear, I love a little romance, and cozy fantasy romance is great. But cozy fantasy and cozy fantasy romance

What words of wisdom or advice would you offer to people who want to work in the industry as a composer? My biggest piece of advice is to become a storyteller first and a composer second.

Back in 2013, we took it upon ourselves to remind music fans that it’s our duty to remain at least somewhat civilized when we attend concerts.

Few things can turn a quiet afternoon into a full-blown competition faster than a deck of cards and a group of Filipinos. One moment, everyone is casually chatting.
