Westing’s new EP I Haven’t Been Feeling Myself is loud and angry, peppered by hard-hitting basslines, rough cymbals and gravely, intensely sad vocals.

Product Review: Beyond Meat Beyond Burger
I feel as though I’ve been hearing about the Beyond Burger for eons. Developed by Beyond Meat, a company that’s arguably changed the whole damn game when it comes to vegan meat substitutes, the Beyond Burger is meant to simulate ground beef hamburger patties as close as possible. This product finally made its way onto the local…

Book Thoughts: The 100 Series
Diving into The 100 series by Kass Morgan was a weird adventure. I’ve watched the CW show for three years, so I’ve had plenty of time to form strong opinions about the characters and story progression, as well as what the writers are doing well and what they’re doing really poorly. I recently started writing about it for…

Concert Recap: Regina Spektor
On Monday, March 6, I had the opportunity to see Regina Spektor live for the first time. It was an incredible show. I’ve loved Spektor’s music for more than a decade; she appears on multiple soundtracks and scores and her music has inspired countless fanworks.

10 Years of Infinity On High
On February 6, Fall Out Boy’s third studio album Infinity On High turned ten. I had a hard time believing it when Reed told me, because this album has been in and out of rotation for me ever since it came out. It feels almost timeless, given that if I don’t listen to it for a…

Product Review: Three Girls Vegan Mini Aged Cashew Cheese Wheels
I know I’ve been raving a lot about Three Girls Vegan Creamery, but I can’t help it! Every time we try one of their products, I’m blown away by how tasty it is. We recently placed an order (for Valentine’s Day dessert!) and got some samples of other products in the box, which was wonderful. Cheese…

Album Review: Andrew McMahon In the Wilderness, Zombies On Broadway, 2017
There is a very small handful of musicians that I can say, with all honesty, have never let me down. That isn’t to say that I haven’t liked songs or that albums haven’t been everything I dreamed of, but rather that with every new project, I’ve always found something to love from these artists, whether it…

Product Review: Three Girls Vegan Creamery cheeses
Although my fiancé and I are always down to try new foods, we’re wary when it comes to vegan cheese. We have our faves and we generally stick to them, partially because we don’t want to splurge on a brand or cheese variety that we might not like (which would be a waste of money…

New to Me Music: Last Letters
New music time! This one also hit me via email, but it’s a much different vibe from my last featured artist. New England pop-punk vet Charles Iwuc released his first solo EP under the moniker Last Letters on Friday, Nov. 11. Nothing to Write Home About is a seven-track, self-produced record that sounds like the softer side…

Product Review: Trader Joe’s Vegan Dressing & Spread
Everyone tells me, on a regular basis, how gross they find mayonnaise. I understand the opinion: mayonnaise is basically egg whites and oil. It has a distinctly vinegary flavor that’s honestly kind of unpleasant. But I grew up dipping my french fries in it and slopping it on sub sandwiches, so it’s a condiment I…
