A Playlist for the 2014 Feminist Zine Fest (in NYC this Saturday!)

And now, for an announcement:

This weekend is the NYC 2014 Feminist Zine Fest! I am a proud planner and schemer (the Pressure Cooker on our team), and I would love to see y'all out there.

Come out to the James Room (4th Floor, Barnard Hall) at Barnard College on 116th and Broadway between 1-6pm this Saturday, March 1st to trade zines, listen to zinesters read their work, and just be old school rad with us!

And, to pump you up even further, I created a mixtape in partnership with Homoground to get us charged for the fest! Check it out by clicking the picture above or this link right here.

See you Saturday!

Blueprint on Mastery

"I expressed to Rare Groove that, to me, music is like a beach.  If you were to go to the beach and pick up as much sand as possible with your hands, that would be the most music knowledge and experience that any one person would ever have.  Just as you can never pick up all the sand, you can never learn all there is to know about music.  But instead of letting that fact discourage me, I use it as inspiration to go back to the beach every day and appreciate it for what it is and the breadth of knowledge it has to offer.  I can’t quit going to the beach that music represents because I love it, and because I will never master it."
