Great Music to Work To

Easy to Remove Price Stickers, Please!
One of my biggest peeves when purchasing a product is when the pricing label doesn’t easily peel off. I know this may sound finicky, but since I like to display my products (because I’m a sucker for great packaging), I always remove their price tags before placing them in the shower or on a […]

Be Haunted by Exitmusic
Exitmusic’s debut album “Passage” is an album, in my opinion, that’s deserving of the hype. Hailing from Brooklyn (of course!) and fronted by actress Aleksa Palladino and her husband Devon Church, this duo pairs their moody dark vocals with old school electro pop beats. Reminiscent of Slowdive or My Bloody Valentine, this album is bursting […]
