No Time? I’ll shoot It.

As we near our second anniversary as an outlet, and I experience my anniversary in the entertainment field itself, it feels like I should take a big look backwards and acknowledge why I started writing about music in the first place. Maybe I wanted an excuse to cry about Matt and Kim’s music and be a sap, the world truly may never know!

Matt and Kim have been one of the building blocks of my music taste and my existence for almost twenty years now. (Grand was a 2009 release, I hate to remind everyone!). Seeing them by myself, when I did, at the Beacham was a form of freedom and a start of an escape. I’ve been cycling through a lot of their discography still (always, often, it sparks joy!). I find myself just sitting, thinking, realizing I will always be the child who had Grand on an iPod and would listen to it in New York. Before I go back this December, it just felt fitting to piece together a yap about Cameras. The song, not the electronic/s.

I’ve been living this song a bit unintentionally lately, stepping back and reminding myself why I started this, why I’m here, why I love doing this. I hate that I needed to be reminded, but external and extenuating factors will always exist, unfortunately. But sitting back, realizing that I am “writing less and talking more and more every day”, I’m reminding myself in so many ways what I want to share — my love, my joy, my art. My little whimsy. G-d forbid, y’know?

Thanks forever, Matt and Kim.
