We are extremely back with Music Moots™, the blogseries where I ask people I know either from the internet or real life to recommend me a song they like, and then I listen to the song and then write a little about it.

Boy oh boy, it's another rendition of Three Music Thingz, the blogseries where I ask musicians for three thingz that are essential to their music-making. Today we have A Place For Owls, who make emotional rock music in Denver, Colorado.

Music scenes! Taking place at a location and often at a specific time! Is there anything better? I kicked off 'local scene coverage' with an interview with Burlington, VT's Neato but I want more. And I'm trying something experimental where I interview someone about their scene, then ask them for someone else to talk to, creating a sort of scenic chain, a game o' telephone, celebrating the connections that make a scene what it is. Dig??

I love pop music. Did you guys know that? It's true. it’s a big club and you’re in it: the long road to Charli XCX’s ‘Brat’I try to avoid feeling too parasocial about my pop stars but I have to say it: I’m proud of Charli XCX. She must be feeling incredible right now in the wake of the release of Brat. A spiky Roman phalanx of fans flooding their social media timelines with memesThe music submissions I get are often in the rock genre. Which is great because, you know, I love rock music too.

My my my, it's another rendition of Three Music Thingz, the blogseries where I ask musicians for three thingz that are essential to their music-making. Today we have Kerrin Connolly! Kerrin Connolly is a singer-songwriter in Boston who just released their totally self-recorded album Transitions last week; it comprises seven finely calibrated pop rock tracks, ranging from sunny '90s rock radiocore ("Fingertrap") to twangy folk balladry ("Beige Ladies").
