Biography
In some form or other, I've been writing about music since 2015. That was the year of my first contribution to UVA's alternative paper The Declaration: just a 250 word review blurb, but it sparked an obsession that led to countless more album write-ups, local show reviews, and interviews all the way up to graduation in May of 2017. For my last year with The Dec, I also served as arts section editor, coordinating pieces from student volunteers and designing layouts for our biweekly print editions. For the next four years, I wrote and edited my own music site, TheAllSceneEye.com, and in that time, I published over 400 more news, criticism, and interview pieces. Since 2021 I've been a freelancer writing for publications like Paste Magazine, Washington City Paper, Vinyl Me Please Magazine, FLOOD Magazine, Post-Trash, and Merry-Go-Round Magazine. I have an unquenchable passion for all music, but especially the out-of-the-way and underappreciated.

An allusion to groove as a mindfulness practice?
By Taylor Ruckle| FLOOD Magazine Verified Pictoria VarkNothing SticksGET BETTERWhen Victoria Park drops a key change on “Sara,” the opener from her sophomore record as Pictoria Vark, Nothing Sticks, it lifts more than just the song’s tonal center; it raises her standard for songwriting. Even that undersells the effect—when the guitars and trumpets swoop in on the last chorus, they all but lift her off the ground.
By Taylor Ruckle| The Line of Best Fit Verified Cheekface keep on cheeking on after a year of health crises and breakups, using their new record Middle Spoon to move through the mire, as they tell Taylor Ruckle. How many times can you do the same bit before it stops being funny? Don’t ask Cheekface; they don’t care as long as they’re still laughing. That’s how we ended up with the song “Noodles” from their 2022 album Too Much To Ask. It has only two lyrics chanted over and over, first in monotone, and then screamed: “A big cup of noodles.
