The Best Collab We Never Got
I discovered Nick Drake and Vashti Bunyan around the same time. I was a senior in high school and going through some stuff mentally that put me in the darkest headspace I'd been in at that point in my life. The purity and emotional nakedness of their music was truly beautiful to me. It was music I had always romanticized in my mind, but didn't think could actually exist. Despite the melancholy lyrics and gothic-folk air to the songs, their music was like a hug that made me feel like everything would be okay. I clung more fiercely to Nick, as his music spoke to me a little more; though I did and still do enjoy Vashti Bunyan's music as well.

SMiLE: Brian Wilson's Unfinished Masterpiece
Where Did It Come From? The Beach Boys' unfinished album SMiLE, which was set to be released between 1966 and 1967, was Brian Wilson's masterpiece. He took ideas and concepts from their previous album Pet Sounds and added even more experimentation into his project SMiLE. While this album still remains a mystery to many as to how it would have turned out had it been complete, there is still some information out there in regards to the project, and you can even listen to some of the unfinished tracks in "The SMiLE Sessions". Clearly, Brian Wilson was an innovator in his time and way ahead of the times when it came to music composition, and this breakthrough album shows that in many ways.

The Evolution of Boybands
Were The Beatles a boyband? This question has sparked heated debates across the social media platform, TikTok, with opinions split between those who see them as the original boyband and those who argue they transcended the label. The term "boyband" itself carries a mix of admiration and stigma—often associated with manufactured pop groups, choreographed performances, and devoted teenage fanbases. But as the music industry has evolved, so has the definition of a boyband. From The Beatles to BTS, each generation has reshaped what it means to be part of this phenomenon, challenging the idea that boybands lack artistic credibility. Additionally, the perception of boybands is often tied to their fanbase—specifically, the intense judgment directed at "fangirls."
