With the final season of Netflix’s You causing quite a stir on the internet since its launch last Thursday, April 26, we’re putting our own spin on bidding the series farewell. Record spin, that is. The main character, Joe Goldberg, played by Penn Badgley, is a man of too-many-to-keep-track-of contradictions. Bookish yet brutal, romantic yet ruthless. Across five seasons of You, each of Joe’s love interests reveals a different shade of his psyche and a different version of deeply disturbing obsession. But what if we soundtracked their stories? Below, we’ve paired each of his partners with the album that best… Read more »

Thursday, March 19th I flew into South by Southwest this afternoon. Tonight, I strode 6th Street. amid the scene here in Austin. I felt a tension between, and within, the musicians, attendees, and the city. The dichotomy is an inclination toward indie values, opposed by the gravitation of commercialism. I realize this as I happen on IFC’s Fairgrounds, which features a music stage, interactive attractions such as a Velcro wall, and food trucks and a beer stand.

The Agonist steps their way from third to first in three weeks, a feat no other band has achieved in approximately six months of publishing a playlist. Eye Of Providence marks the debut of Vicky Psarakis who joined The Agonist after Alissa White-Gluz replaced Angela Gossow in Arch Enemy. The moral of this story?
