An independent music blog with outstanding ideas. The first article I read was about coolmathgames.com, and I was so excited by the journalism it contained. It's hard to find press with a real voice anymore. I don't find many articles that truly move and inspire me. Since discovering and admiring the blog as a reader, I'm thrilled to have my work featured within it. My essay called Dread Hides Easily In The Basement will be included in the first print edition of No Bells. It's about misogyny in DIY music spaces and my experience as a woman in the Philadelphia scene.

It’s rare to read sharply worded, negative reviews nowadays, and I get it. Writing (and publishing) negative criticism can feel like the most thankless, isolating work in journalism. Few writers are eager to subject themselves to torrents of internet backlash or risk access to artists’ camps, especially to further a form often said to be outmoded by the general populace. But, as many have persuasively argued, it is essential— and perhaps now more than ever, given its diminishing presence in media.It‘s been a relief lately to see younger voices like Constantly Hating (Substack), Antiart (Instagram), and Gabi Belle (Youtube) emerge in new outlets, offering sometimes clumsy but always entertaining takes. Nothing satisfies like a warranted pan backed by a well-argued thesis. It lends color and character to the author, raises stakes and standards for artists, and catalyzes necessary discourse. It also helps frustrated listeners feel seen (and see each other).

meaghan garvey is our decade’s hunter s. thompson. with origins / a focus in music journalism, she seems to just float through chaos and writes really well about it.
she inspires me to talk to strangers and get into a little trouble every now and then

Coded a blog with my bare hands. Wrote about heartbreak. Did it because a boy I liked two years ago did it, so I did it too. I miss the way I used to like people.

A friend of mine gave me a psychic reading for my cat (Bug), and she loves flowers. She's not afraid of death. She wants her own water fountain too. And she's so excited to watch me grow. She doesn't want me to be afraid of her dying because she's just happy to be here and it's only just the beginning. She knows all my secrets. And why I cry. And she thinks I'm beautiful.
