about
hi! you found my site! i started hippiesandhipsters back in 2011 because i needed an online home for my musical obsessions. it lead me into a life of writing, including an MFA in Nonfiction Writing from Sarah Lawrence College.
since i graduated in 2015, my writing has found a home in other places: Entropy Magazine, Albumism, my Goodreads reviews (lol), and once and a while over on my Medium.
i believe that music writing can be anything you want it to be, and that every band is someone’s favorite. i’m a recovering music programmer that still listens to (and supports!) local radio because radio=life.
i want to be a part of something that’s bigger than myself. currently at work on essays, a memoir-in-progress (oh, is it ever), and more music writing.

Just wanted to drop you a line and say that I appreciated your Yeezus review on Philly.com. Being a professional DJ for some time now and social thinker, I respect your angle of pushing people to think for themselves instead of just telling them what to feel or think.
