Sponsor: My Thanks to Hailey, It Happens
My thanks to Hailey, It Happens for sponsoring the website this week. I’ve been following these guys for what seems like forever now (as one of the members is a pretty prominent poster on our forums), and I really do think this is the best thing they’ve done yet. Their new album is self-titled and you can grab it right now on Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music. I recommend everyone go give it a listen. The songs are personal, well written, and definitely worth your time.

How Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling Shaped the Music of ‘La La Land’
Crystal Bell of MTV talks with La La Land songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul:
The songwriting duo, who met as undergrads in the University of Michigan’s musical theater program, have a knack for putting life’s messy, uncomfortable moments to song. In La La Land, Pasek and Paul capture a kind of buoyant melancholia only artists could truly understand, as the complicated lives of jazz pianist Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) and struggling actress Mia (Emma Stone) romantically intertwine. Chazelle’s ode to dreamers is a lush cinematic experience bathed in brazen technicolor and Stone’s effervescent charisma, but its music is wonderfully simple.
