In the editor’s rotation: Taylor Swift released a new album

Hello again! Welcome back to “In the editor’s rotation,” the column where I publicly reveal what I’ve been streaming in the weeks prior.As we’ve learned from my past few columns, I’m a bit of a musical theater nerd. However, Taylor Swift released a new album, so I‘ve dedicated a bit of time to listening to that, too. See, I’m capable of changing things up from time to time!

In the editor’s rotation: Adding something new to my playlist

Welcome back! Once again, my music taste is all over the place, but I’ve compiled some of the tracks I’ve been listening to for the past few weeks into this piece.I finally started listening to something new, which is a huge development for me. Unfortunately, it is a musical. But, it’s a musical I had never listened to until recently, so I’m taking that as a win. Talk about character development.

In the editor’s rotation: Still a lot of showtunes… some Halloween?

If you survived my first “In the editor’s rotation” column, welcome back! If this is your first time reading about the music I listen to… good luck.Unfortunately, it’s still mostly showtunes. I am ever so slightly (majorly) reentering my Broadway phase from seventh grade, and since my last column, it has only gotten worse. But don’t let that scare you away — I’m hoping at least one song on this list is tolerable enough to make it onto one person’s playlist.

In the editor’s rotation: Re-entering my theater kid era

I must warn you: my music taste is all over the place and vastly different from that of the typical college student. Sure, I love my mainstream pop girlies as much as the next person, but I also love my older music, comedic songs and, unfortunately, showtunes, which have infiltrated my recent musical diet a bit more than I’m willing to admit. But my hope is that there are some new songs on here that you have never heard before, and may add to your daily rotations – even if it’s just one or two.All that being said, my Spotify “on repeat” has been quite the trip recently. Buckle up, you’re in for a wild ride!

‘Thunderbolts*’ tackles mental health struggles

When people see a Marvel movie, they can typically expect fun action sequences, some comedy and almost always, a post-credit scene. “Thunderbolts*” (now being marketed as “The New Avengers), the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), delivers all of that. Additionally, it also battles a new villain: mental health.Released on May 2, Marvel’s “Thunderbolts*” stars Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Lewis Pullman as Robert Reynolds, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr and more.
