Throwback Playlist
A Clash of the ’80s and ’90s If we haven’t said it already — Happy New Year, readers! As we enter into a new decade, I find that it’s always fun to reflect on past decades. Whether it’s watching old movies or our favourite television shows, reading literary classics or listening to the music that epitomized a specific era, being nostalgic can connect us to our history and bring about old memories in a positive way. So, to simultaneously celebrate 2020 and to revel in the past, I’ve put together a #throwback playlist that merges classic songs from the 1980s…

Album Of The Month: Weezer’s ‘Teal Album’
Though it was released almost one year ago in January 2019, Weezer’s Teal Album has continued to be one of my go-to’s for the last little while. You may be thinking: wow, it’s a long time since I’ve thought about Weezer. I thought the same when I first heard the band’s name surface after what had felt like about a decade. Weezer was a common name to hear when I was going through my childhood and early teens: some of their most popular songs to date are “Say It Ain’t So” and “Buddy Holly”, considered classics of the 90s angst-pop-punk…

III by The Lumineers – Part I: Gloria Sparks
I am so utterly excited about today’s post! Last year, I did a run-through of the music video series that one of my favourite bands had put out. This year, along with a brand new album, the same band have done yet another series of interrelated stories in their music videos! The Lumineers third studio album III was released at the beginning of September, and with it, a ten-part music video series. I will go through all three parts and divide them into three separate blog posts as I could not do them justice if I had to condense them…

Album of the Month: ‘Think’ by Kaleida
Though I’m pretty late on the uptake, I only recently discovered how amazing Kaleida is. If you haven’t heard of Kaleida, a London-based electropop musical duo, you’ll most likely have heard their hit song entitled “Think” that was featured in John Wick (2014) during the following iconic fight scene. Warning: There is violence in the scene below. There is something so eerily beautiful, chilling, and profound about Kaleida’s vocal and musical style. I was so obsessed with and hyper-focused on this one song that I neglected to hear the rest of their music for a long while. It’s an unfair…

‘Summer Again’ Playlist
Happy Summer, everyone! We know it’s been a little while since we’ve last posted on AvidBards, and S & I sincerely apologize for that. We have had family events, road trips, and travels galore this summer, and it’s been harder than we thought it would be to keep up! Today’s post is short and sweet as we get back into the groove of our regular posting schedule. As summer’s end begins to creep up on us bittersweetly, I have created a playlist of 30 songs that I’ve been listening to on repeat during these warm months. (We did one last…
