So, 2021 happened. All of it. From the storming of the United States Capitol to the death of Betty White. From start to finish it’s been one wild ride—and all while rarely setting foot outside. The final month of the year hasn’t been all that different, but we did use that time to produce some really engaging content…
Here’s everything we covered in December 2021. Continue reading Monthly Roundup: December 2021
We’re ready to put the final nails in this year with our annual tradition of very scientifically and democratically sorting through
each and every song sent our way and assembling them into our list of The Best Music of 2021.
We understand that no one will be entirely happy with any of these decisions, but the staff have only just barely escaped the process with their lives still intact, which is still more than we can hope for in 2022.

Here is our annual Peer Review of the Best Music from 2021. Continue reading Peer Review: The Best Music of 2021
With November under our belts, we’re starring down the barrel of 2022. We’re prepping our year-end lists, crossing everything we can off of our to-do lists, and sweeping out the dark corners of our inboxes. There’s a lot left to squeeze out of the year and some of our biggest articles yet to come.
Here’s everything we covered in November of 2021. Continue reading Monthly Roundup | November 2021
