The Deep Cuts

I wanted to go from the Breeders to Tay-K and have it make sense. Just a lot of songs that I’ve been playing a lot lately/make my heart feel full. "Wobbly", "Hold yr Terror Close", and "Bitch Where" are songs that’ll be in my top ten forever no contest. Ween is also included for obvious reasons. Hope you enjoy ;)

Three Favorite Albums

Modern Vampires of the City - Vampire Weekend

Fetch the Boltcutters - Fiona Apple

Fever to Tell - YeahYeahYeahs

Favorite Concert Experience 

I saw Alex G play and Hinterland this year. I remember he did this screamo noise rock song out of nowhere and seeing that man do that was both jarring and profound, like he’s just such an oddball guy and it made me feel lucky to witness a moment like that.

Hobbies / Interests / Fun Facts / Campus Involvement

Love playing music with all sorts of friends in my scary unfinished basement, cooking, collecting/consuming cool books and records, and anything else that has to do with all those things. Campus involvement is primarily SCOPE going on.
