Courtney “Coco” Jones: Let Her Shine

I finally found a series that I am actually going to watch weekly. Can you believe it? In case you’re new here, I’m an extreme binge watcher. I literally wait until a series is finished before watching it. I may watch an episode or two to gauge my interest level, but I’ll stop there and wait until it’s end before watching it all at once. But recently, Peacock’s “Bel-Air”, temporarily changed that. One of the series' stars, Courtney “Coco” Jones is a major reason for that. Not only is she absolutely gorgeous, but she’s an extremely talented actress and singer, with a loving heart and great personality to match.

The themes of most of his music related to his battles with heartbreak, addiction, and mental health problems.

The Band Ice Cream: Dairy Rock

The San Francisco-based garage rock, surf punk, and indie group, The Band Ice Cream, releases their post-pandemic, 10-song collection “Play Dead.”

“Play Dead” is expected to be a continuation of their alternative/indie, garage pop style music. The band’s frontrunner, Kevin Fielding, a London, Ontario native, sings and screams with his chest.  It reminds me of the loud and profound vocals found in folk emo: which includes bands like Mom Jeans and Modern Football. Though, I wouldn’t go so far as to designate the band to that category.
