The Tough Shits – Burning in Paradise
The Tough Shits have me once more daydreaming of owning an El Camino just so I can blast this album on repeat blazing across west Texas on the way to California. Overall verdict: Burning in Paradise must be immersed in, an experience as a whole which rises above all condescending criticism, it magnetizes in waves of perfection prepared to climb the "here we are now entertain us" modus operandi of the current stasis felt as we seemingly stretch and yawn from the past couple back-building years. The corpse of Rock n Roll is reanimating once more in a big way.
Gooch Palms – New Single “Are We Wasted?” – SXSW 2019 – Tour Dates
Gooch Palms new single "Are We Wasted?" further solidifies our suspicions towards the Aussie tradition of baking up tasty snacks that are the perfect blend of colorful sweetness we somehow manage to look cooler by eating. Something weird has been going on down in Australia for a while now, something is up we can feel. As far as the video goes, our homie Slater said it best, "you couldn't handle that shit on strong acid."

Dear Thrive: Best Advice I Ever Got
Welcome to Thrive! A weekly advice column for creatives and the generally confused. This week I am taking a moment to reflect on the best advice I’ve ever received and share that with all of you here on THRIVE. When I was in the 7th grade I had an English teacher that we all called Ms. J. Ms. J was beloved by a lot of students because of her ability to be fun and high energy, while also very tough. She was a classic “Oh Captain, My Captain” type. Sometime during our very first week of classes, our very first week of middle school, the very first time we…
Wutchu kno bout burds
You probably couldn’t give two bird shits about a bunch of dumb birds, but has anyone ever told you that you are lame and have dumb opinions. Birds are way more fucking awesome than you. Do you even lift bro? Here, watch these badass birds fighting in slo-mo. Birds are natural badasses, and sometimes they fight each other to see who the biggest badass is that gets to bang all the hot chicks. Ducks sometimes fight nesting birds so they can sneak their own eggs into another’s nest. They have to dump those kids because kids suuuuuck. Sometimes birds fight just because the other bird has a cool stick it…

Thrive Presents: Surviving the Holidays with Your Relatives
Welcome to Thrive! A weekly advice column for creatives and the generally confused. The year is winding down and we are all exhausted, partied out (or still partying), and thinking about new beginnings. We’re also reflecting on the year — accomplishments, disappointments, regrets. In short, it’s a tough time of year and nothing makes it tougher than hanging out with distant relatives who feel the need to give you advice on “life.” We’ve all seen the memes, we can all relate to the onslaught of questions from people we only see once or twice or year. “When are you getting married?” “Do you have a boyfriend?” “When are you…
THRIVE: Why Does Spring Make Me Feel Trapped?
Welcome to Thrive! A weekly advice column for creatives and the generally confused. Have you felt it? The soul-sucking energy of March? It’s here. I don’t know why I needed Timehop to remind me that I feel the same way every year, every March. I am tired, I am defeated, I am feeling trapped, I need change! The past couple of weeks I have been feeling all of this and at first I always think it’s me, that something is wrong with me, and that just makes everything worse. But then I remember, usually too late, that the end of winter and the beginning of spring is always…
