I've always found that some of my favorite music are from artists that I don't hear much of on mainstream radio stations. Part of the fun of exploring new or old places in the summer are the anthems that accompany the road trip.

1. "Back Again" - Flor

This song will definitely hit you in your nostalgic feels.

2. "Something About You" - Hayden James, ODESZA Remix

This indie-electronic remix is the song to listen to during those midnight adventures out of town.

3. "Ocean Eyes" - Billie Eilish

Because who doesn't connect to a song of adoration featuring lyrics that compare the love interest's eyes to those of the ocean.

4. "Midnight City" - M83

This song may be half a decade old, but the feelings the French band captured of driving through LA at 2 am are never out of touch.

5. "Kids" - MGMT

While we were actually kids when MGMT released their album, Oracular Spectacular, the feel of this song is perfect for Summer Sixteen.

6. "Princess of China" -Coldplay, Rihanna

You can't really go wrong with anything of Coldplay's, remix or not, regardless of the season.

7. "Hope" -Tim Legend, featuring BR/\VE

A sensual and upbeat song of infatuation is always appropriate.

8. "Electrified" -Sam Wills

You'll definitely want to listen to this as you're getting ready to go out.

9. "Hello, Hello" -Mari Ferrari

Mari Ferrari is basically a really cool indie-pop blend of Cascada and Ellie Goulding.

10. "Out of My League"- Fitz and The Tantrums

This song, and all of FTT's albums.

11. "Love Me" -The 1975

Favorite song. Favorite band.

12. "Sleep On The Floor" -The Lumineers

Other favorite song from my tied-for-first favorite band. Pack your bags and listen to this song on your way out of town.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
