3d ago17:13

17:13

Hollywood usually misses the mark when it comes to portraying raves accurately. Which sucks but…can also be pretty funny. “Reads by Rants and Raves” is where I share my takes on films and shows.

2M ago5:16

5:16

A description distilled to tempo alone obscures the intricacies of melodies, harmonies, texture and tonality that moves us. Music reviews certainly don’t start and end with “the track is 142 BPM.” Summing up our feelings as digits does a disse…

It seems that everyone and their mother is a DJ these days. And as a result, the partygoers' role became vastly underrated.
