Soccer Mommy Scored In The Music World With The Release Of Her New 7"

By stripping the song down to its core you can fully appreciate it for what it was meant to be.

On October 19th, Soccer Mommy (aka Sophie Allison) is releasing her new 7" in two versions. There is the limited edition red smoke vinyl with only 500 copies available and then the regular black vinyl. But no matter which copy you get your hands on, the 7" will contain a re-worked version of her song "Henry" off of her "For Young Hearts" collection on its A-side. Then there will be a cover of Bruce Springsteen's song "I'm On Fire" on its B-side. You can grab your copy of Soccer Mommy's Henry/I'm On Fire 7" from Fat Possum Records here.

Allison re-worked "Henry" but didn't change it in any drastic ways. The only major difference is that it has been slowed down. The same can be said for her cover of "I'm On Fire." She changed Springsteen's song into a song that is much rawer and emotional. Allison does this because she "wanted to make a version of 'I'm On Fire' that connected with the sadness of the song." By stripping the song down to its core you can fully appreciate it for what it was meant to be. If you didn't know any better you could believe that this was just another one of Soccer Mommy's songs since the lyrics fit so cleanly into her "chill but sad" style which she defines herself as on her Bandcamp. It's no wonder this cover was a fan favorite whenever Allison performed it on tour.

To hear the difference between songs you can click here for Springsteen's version and here to listen to Allison's cover. And while you wait for your copy of the 7" you can listen to "Henry" here. Soccer Mommy will also be on tour until February 2019.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
