Why Everyone Loves “Sail”
It’s almost impossible to find something that’s universally loved. I know a guy who doesn’t like strawberries. I’ve met a dude who hates dogs. I’ve even heard of people who don’t like Star Wars, or Harry Potter. But honestly, in my entire life, I’ve never come across a person who, when hearing the opening of […]
What Makes “Never Be the Same” Different
There is merit in everything. The Last Airbender wasn’t a good movie, but it is a wonderful example of how to make an awful movie. The Room is such a disaster that it’s downright enjoyable to watch and resulted in an Oscar-winning film being made about it. Fifty Shades of Gray is written so poorly […]
The Beauty of “Praying”
There are some people in this world who I really don’t care for. It’s natural. When I was in 7th grade, I had the door of a locker room bathroom stall kicked open on me (I was using it, obviously). It was an honest mistake (the guy explained he’d been TRYING to bully a kid who […]
The Genius of “Castle on the Hill” Is in the Details
If you read the articles I write for this website, or if you’re going to start reading these articles religiously after being blown away by the inescapable genius (and occasional delusions of grandeur) contained here within, then it’s going to become pretty apparent to you that I love Ed Sheeran. It’s just a fact. I […]
“Like I’m Gonna Lose You” and the Magic of 12/8 Time
Meghan Trainor got old fast, didn’t she? Not like “gosh, all her teeth fell out” old, I mean like “okay, it was cute for a while, but I’m just honestly pretty tired of your music” old. “All About That Bass” went from endearing to annoying pretty quick (sometime around the 341st time you heard it). […]
With “Body Like a Back Road,” Sam Hunt Gives Us a Road Everyone Wants to Drive Down
Sometimes, things are just too popular to like. There’s no mystique in having Bud Light be your favorite beer, or in rooting for Lebron James. It’s easy to dismiss truly great things (talking about Lebron here, no Bud Light) simply because they are popular, which is just as stupid as only liking something because it’s […]
Why You Should Like “Sit Still, Look Pretty.”
It is our sacred quest in this series to find the songs that even snobby music lovers can appreciate. Yes, believe it or not, there have been some phenomenal songs in the last few years that were cleverly disguised as over-commercialized ear worms. So here we go, setting forth to find the songs that you […]
Why “Closer” Is so Good
We all like looking down on things that are beneath us. We don’t often get the chance, but when we do, we relish the chance to assert ourselves above something. Like, “I may not be able to add two plus seven, but at least I’m not one of those idiots in the hotdog industry who […]
