Best Music of 2023

Best Music of 2023 The year of 2023 will be remembered as a year pop experimented in new styles. Sure, we got the return of our favorite pop artists like Olivia Rodrigo and two more Taylor Swift re-records, but we saw a rise and return in popularity of pop subgenres, including house (Troye Sivan), art (Caroline Polachek), rock (boygenius), disco (Jessie Ware), and folk (Noah Kahan). What will be the new pop sound as we head into the mid 2020's? Below I will list my favorite albums, songs, and music videos I listened to in 2023, as well as some classic albums I listened to for the first time. So without further ado: Best Albums of 2023: 10.

Trevor's 100 Favorite Animated Films

Trevor's 100 Favorite Animated Films Animation is my favorite film technique. I have always been drawn (hehe) to the medium. Perhaps it’s because it is the most impressive form of filmmaking since practically everything has to be made from scratch. Or perhaps it is because animation is the ultimate escapism: A temporary entrance into a world entirely different from our own. All of these films resonate with me for many reasons: Their animation style, story, enjoyment, and sometimes even a big dash of nostalgia. It is not based on what the general consensus is on quality and influence. In the comments, I will post a link to the rest of the list of 4 stars+ animated films. From feature length computer animated epics to short stop motion flicks, here are my top 100: 100. Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) (Director: Wes Anderson) 99. Presto (2008) (Director: Doug Sweetland) 98. Duck Amuck (1953) (Director: Chuck Jones) 97 . The Cat Concerto (1947) (Director...
