Black history month isn’t just about celebrating the people we know, but uplifting the people whom we might not know.

This was truly a labor of love as I spent that past few weeks learning about Tina Bell’s life and the impact she and BAM BAM in general had on the Seattle grunge scene.

I would love it if you read about her story and share this with others who are passionate about music and black history, I want her to be just as much of a household name as Kurt Cobain.

Also please listen to their album! Its incredible!

Happy Black History Month to all my Black grunge guys gals and pals!!!! We were always here!!!

For black history month, I want to point out that these cats from Angola are proof that you can look deathrock af without a deathhawk. They are goals for sure.

Chenayder.

We've got someone you'd like to meet, and she goes by the name of Chenayder. There's a few things to know: she's a high school student, aged 17. She makes lofi bedroom indie pop. Her sounds are dreamy, nostalgic, immersive. She likes K-pop. And, best of all, she likes sandwiches. Well, what are the chances. 

Today of all days she premiers her new single, For One Last Time. Go listen. Then get yourself a sandwich.

if you are genuinely out there claiming that gale "succeeded" in everything he "wanted" by becoming a god and that's why it's a good ending for him, you truly are a testament to the slow and steady death of media literacy congrats lmao
