The xx Launch New Apple Music Show

The xx

The xx will be debuting their new monthly Apple Music radio show on March 10th.

We’ll be taking turns to host each episode and get in to the things that inspire us individually. An hour of music, guests and sneak peeks of what we’re all up to on our own and together.

Sponsor: Caroline Romano Releases New Album

Caroline Romano

Nashville-based alt-pop trailblazer Caroline Romano presents her debut album, Oddities and Prodigies, out now. From misty-eyed ballads to fiery anthems, Oddities and Prodigies is a vivid snapshot of Caroline’s personal and musical journey — “this album is everything I know in 16 songs,” she says. From tackling what it’s like to struggle with depression and anxiety to examining first loves and first heartbreaks, Oddities and Prodigies is an all-encompassing look at Caroline’s personal growth and resilience. Alongside the album launch, Caroline has released a music video for her single “Oddities and Prodigies.”

Fun fact for those that like facts that make them feel old: this turns ten today. Yep, a full decade has passed. Still a damn good album.

Back Road

There are also a few quick hits on entertainment I consumed last week and a playlist of ten songs I liked. This week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here.

“Emotion is my middle name…”

The first line of track one still gets me pumped; what a perfect way to open an album. And today’s Friday and the weekend is upon us, so what a perfect time to break back out this absolute monster of a pop-punk album. All these years later and I still am brought right back to bouncing around my room and cranking this up right to the edge of where my parents yell at me down the stairs to turn it down. These days I just get the side-eye from the wife. 🤘

Truth told, I’m not sure I’ll ever love a song as much as I love “Doing Time.”
