Kung Saan Nalang Tayo Mapadpad/The Things I’ll Tell You Next Time

Inigo

i cant say for certain that a week would be enough for you to see everything you want to see; to experience everything you might want to experience, and indulge in everything you might want and need…. but it felt like everyone was there with me.

Music for wondering where you are. Music for walking. Music for getting thoroughly inspired. Music for forgiving mall emo. Music for a fun time.

"It's Mid": You Are Listening to Music Wrong

Tonchi

I think that a much healthier approach to listening to music lies in listening to understand rather than to assess: to figure out what the effect of the music is, and why, rather than how good it is.

The buildup to my first gig in 8 months, and it’s a cover night–of all things.

Nomar

My first gig as inanotherworld is just something I will remember for a long time, for a good reason.

Lost Flavors of the Scene : BKB Rice

Aze

I’d like to think that food is one of my ways of enjoying memories, and I can’t help but be whiplashed back to 2016 after having a bite of this.

"Happy" mistakes

Gaby

More important than any tool in an artist’s craft is the patience it takes to see a project through to completion, whether or not the end product is anything at all like what you imagined. Considering I wield the double-edged sword of stubbornness, however, I know I will find this belief hard to subscribe to without suppressing armories of anger and doubt.

Little by little, I hope to rectify this somehow.

The Churn: Why New People are the Most Important People in a Scene

Tonchi

If getting new people into a scene is the primary means of keeping it alive, why are so many of a scene’s typical behaviors actively discouraging towards new blood?

five local songs written for cats

Stella

Caring for a cat involves feeding, litter upkeep, chin scratches, and, most importantly, making up little songs centered around them.

Nightmare at 130 Beats Per Minute

Pepi

The idea, the purpose and the decision–those are what matter most.

Being a music student and going to gigs almost every week, how draining is it?

Nomar

If going to gigs is socially draining enough for someone like me, imagine being a music student on top of that. It’s something else.

Let’s Make Something Splendid and Vacuous

Iñigo

For a majority of my weekends, I’ve become desensitized to oppressive brake lights, of which there are a multitude to choose from, all coming to the same conclusion: you’re in line. This is what I hate about driving; for the moment you’re in a car, your sole purpose is diminished to Simply Getting There.
