This album is AMAZING. Everyone and their HBOMax password leeches know that Wrap Around Joy is my significant other, and this gives me some major Wrap Around Joy vibes. With, in Pearl Charles fashion, a breezy twang to boot. I may be stepping on our resident twang expert Amber’s toes here but this album deserves
I was reading the antipiracy trades for my other job which has literally never yielded any useful music-related information, until NOW.

A great example of this is Cartoons and Cereal by Kendrick Lamar, that song was supposed to
I did the last playlist update in December and took a little break (sorry to all of the Twitter and Instagram submissions I have yet to get to, I will, I promise). Well, kind of a break. I spent most of my so called break putting together my top 50 tracks of 2020 playlist (blog
This is in response to George’s post which I think you’ve probably already seen if you’re reading this:indiepong.com/2020/12/29/tuesday-time-machine-december-2020-trying-to-make-sure-mates-doesnt-fire-me-exalpha-edition/ George wrote this article about how his job was on the line because of a passing conversation the other day, and it wasn’t.
