Jobi Riccio – Wildfire Season
Curated by Meg Birmingham — May 8, 2026
It’s one of my favorite things when you go to a show and are surprised with an opening act you didn’t expect. After finding her song Wildfire Season a few months ago, it was really cool to see Jobi Riccio live.

Curated by Meg Birmingham — May 8, 2026
One of the strangest things I am learning as an adult is how to make new friends, especially with the way much of the world functions now (thanks to the tiny computers in our pockets). I’m having luck actually talking to my neighbors, intentionally spending time with them, and starting to rely on them when […]

There’s more than one “right” way
Curated by Julian Montoya — April 24, 2026
Peel a banana from the bottom instead of the top—less mess, no struggle. It’s a simple shift, but also a reminder: not everyone moves through the world the same way, and different approaches can be just as valid (or even better). Read more.
Before Borders, We Danced
Curated by Julian Montoya — April 24, 2026
Calmecac Danza Group is a pre-Columbian Aztec dance collective that meets weekly on Thursdays, honoring traditions from a time before modern borders existed. Through danza, drumming, and other forms of artistic expression, they create space to connect with ancestral roots—where movement becomes prayer, ceremony, and cultural resistance rather than performance. Dancers wear vibrant regalia of […]
Ingobernable – C Tangana
Curated by Julian Montoya — April 24, 2026
Crema, Puchito, Agorazein, El Madrileño—many names, one artist: C. Tangana. From hip-hop and trap to pop, flamenco, and traditional Spanish rhythms, he’s quietly reshaped the music scene. His influence can be seen in artists like Rosalía—his former girlfriend—who has taken similar sounds in her own direction. I first found his music around 2016 with 100k Pasos and Bolsas. […]
Love on the Spectrum
Curated by Julian Montoya — April 24, 2026
I’ve never been much of a TV person—in fact, I went over a decade without one. But last year, my wife convinced me to watch Love on the Spectrum, and after a single episode, I was hooked. The show cuts through the noise of today’s world with something simple and powerful: a reminder that we’re all […]

Daño – Peso Pluma and Tito Doble P
Curated by Karen Cruz — April 10, 2026
After seeing Peso Pluma and Tito Doble P at their DINASTÍA tour last month, this song has been on repeat! It is one of my favorite ballads from the DINASTÍA album; it has the perfect mix of Mexican regional music along with romanticism. It expresses the pain of a breakup, with the narrator admitting they cannot move […]
