    #87 – Car Seat Headrest

    I read somewhere that Car Seat Headrest fans are the kind of people that get pushed into lockers by Weezer fans. That’s kinda funny, because while Weezer is not known to win on jock-factor, Car Seat Headrest might have taken semi-depressed juvenile wit to a whole other level. Will Toledo started the band as a…

    #84 – Simon & Garfunkel

    We are about halfway through the month, and my upper lip is giving strong “first mustache attempt at fifteen” vibes.  It’s November and with that, for me, it’s also Movember. For a number of years now, I have been joining men worldwide, who undergo a clean shave on November first, and then grow just their…

    Alright, everyone, the time has come. It’s all been fun and games so far, but I think today we need to breach a topic that I have been thinking about for a while. Presumably, you have at the very least tangentially come across it – more likely, you have pondered the question yourself in some…

    #55 – Clairo

    It was the first half of 2019 when I first heard of the genre “bedroom pop”. It was connected to a track review for the single release track “Bags” in the lead-up to Clairo’s debut album, Immunity, which would appear later the same year. While the term mainly refers to young artists using the tools…

    ‘Time is relative (to your frame of reference)’, a wise Swiss man once posed. E = mc 2 and all that jazz. You might relate when reflecting on how long you have been at Snowflake, and then cross-referencing that against the absurdly short time that LinkedIn lists in contrast. It feels a bit like the…

    #52 – School of Seven Bells

    Not that anyone asked, but: There are a number of ways that I find new music – Yes, I follow our internal #fun-music channel, then I tend to check what album reviews Pitchfork puts out each day and give a listen to those that pique my interest. Once in a while, I will have a…

    #50 – Paul McCartney & Wings

    There are many great things about music. One of the things that I enjoy particularly is that there is just so much of it. The sheer volume, not only of new stuff coming out, but also from decades and decades of backlog, is hard to fathom. It means we all get a chance to constantly…

    #48 – Justin Timberlake

    From out of seemingly nowhere, word broke onto the scene yesterday, announcing a new, upcoming album by: Justin Timberlake – one or two of you might have heard of this underground whirlwind. His first album in six years… wait, was “The 20/20 Experience” only six years ago? Oh, wow, it was 11 years ago, and…
