7 Songs To Round Out The Summer
Aspen Chamber

So it's been a while since you've heard from me. It's been a busy summer of going the beach, barbecues, and festivals, and I'm a bit sad that it's starting to wind down. Fortunately, it's been a summer of great music, so here are some of my favorite tracks:

1. "Passenger Side" - Smallpools


Smallpools' bubbly brand of pop is already well suited for summer jams, and this song from their latest EP is no exception.

2. "Sunroof" - courtship.


This sultry song is perfect for a day at the beach.

3. "Swim" - Fickle Friends


Speaking of the beach and summer activities, here's another perfect song.

4. "Washed Up Together" - Knox Hamilton


Use this song to set the soundtrack for your next summer adventure.

5. "Let 'Em Talk" - Kesha featuring Eagles of Death Metal


I am obsessed with Kesha's new record. I don't think there's a bad song on it, but this collaboration with Eagles of Death Metal makes me want to dance every time I hear it. Much of the album is probably too swear-y for radio, but it's an excellent album.

6. "Wallflowers" - Chain Gang of 1974


A lot of my selections on this list seem to deal with some form of escapism. Put this song on a playlist for your end-of-the-summer road trip.

7. "Homemade Dynamite" - Lorde


Another one of my favorite albums of 2017 so far, Lorde's Melodrama is packed with amazing songs. You can't go wrong with this one.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
