I’m feeling the best I have in a while. I hope you are too, and if not, I recommend giving these songs a shot.

Out of strong feelings of love and pain comes strength, art, maturity and wisdom.
Three dialy arts writers in various states of mind attend a screening of "IT."
Once Sept. 5 hit and the festivity days of labor day weekend / welcome week were over my brain turned from craving upbeat pop and rap tracks to melodic folk and alt-rock songs. Strings and electric guitars take the place of electronic drums and synths.
Daily arts editors select the crème de la crème.
Swift’s words and actions manipulate the truth and perpetuate the narrative of white-female victimhood at the hands of black, male villains.
I don’t think pop artists are the peak of authenticity or anything. That would be ridiculous. But I think there are lots of tiny moments of carefully constructed earnestness, moments where they really mean what they’re singing.
There’s also going to be a Marshmello. I don’t know what that is. Sorry.
