What I am listening to
Something Worth Waiting For by Friko
For fans of Bright Eyes, The Beatles, and Arcade Fire, this album brings emotion, noise, and poignant songwriting to each song. At times, this record feels like a jam band that left the microphones recording throughout an entire session in a big garage. Hailing from Chicago, Friko makes music that is built for the city and built for traveling within one. Some tracks feel inspiring while others feel like you took a sneak peek into the lead singer's diary from when he was 15. It is incredibly written, and I am confident it will age beautifully. Buy your Friko stock now... they are also amazing live.
Highlight: Seven Degrees
U by underscores
I really don't know what I can say about this album that has not already been said. Yes, it is my album of the year thus far. No, it has not left my rotation since the minute it dropped. Each song sounds like a journey through hyperpop, edm, and 2000s rnb grooves. Honestly, I have trouble categorizing her music as "hyperpop" these days. Underscores has grown into an A tier pop songwriter and I can see the sound of pop fully going in this direction in years to come. It somewhat happened with Charli XCX (who underscores happens to be opening for this fall) in 2024, and now this sub-sound of pop is all over my feed. Underscores is officially a star, with U being her magnum opus. Each track is more entertaining than the one before it.
Highlight: The Peace
Rumspringa by ear
ear burst onto the scene without warning in 2025 and their first proper album feels the same way. It can lure you to sleep with its ambient elements just before waking you up with the most brash bassline you have ever heard. They fully dive into an album fueled by EDM, but it still feels stripped back. For some reason, it sounds like being a child just before you fully gain consciousness of the world. It feels hopeful. This record makes me believe ear is going to be a cult favorite in the 2020s and beyond.
Highlight: Coil
Other Things
Most recent movie I watched
I finally saw Obsession. I succumbed to the pressure of the media. I am a big fan of horror, specifically the more well-plotted stories that don't just rely on jumpscares, and Obsession fit that description. It kept you engaged and on edge the entirety of its runtime, finding new ways to enter the mania of the character's brains. It felt like there was a bad guy in the movie (I think we all know who) but it wasn't shoved down your throat. The cinematography and minimal special effects made it feel like a classic horror movie from the 80s/90s, which I think only adds to its appeal to become a modern day horror classic. It was very well executed and had some truly unforgettable moments.
3.9 / 5 stars
Most recent concert/vinyl purchase
I went to see a small band from Michigan called Racing Mount Pleasant last week. They are an abstract rock/indie band similar to Black Country, New Road or caroline. Something about a saxophonist in a rock band will always grab my attention. I also left with a vinyl of their self titled album, which happened to be my favorite album of last year. I now own 126 records on vinyl.
Travels/Hobbies
I just visited Europe for the first time and met distant relatives in Formia, Italy. Formia is a tiny beach town in between Rome and Naples. It is a town full of older people, and one in which everyone knows everyone, so I got some funny looks as I walked around. I was given home-cooked lasagna, meatballs, and pastries. Just for lunch. Safe to say I slept pretty good on the train from Formia to Naples later that evening.
Wait... Who even am I?
I am Vincent Robert Gallucci IV. I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, where I spent most of my life until moving to Florida during my Junior year of high school. I am the son of Vincent and Nicole Gallucci, two Italian, New Jersey born parents who raised me in a very old school fashion. They owned Italian restaurants my whole life, so most of my childhood was consumed by busy Friday nights in a hectic kitchen where I would help any way I could. Outside of the restaurant, I played baseball, basketball, and football, with basketball being my main love of the three. I still watch all 82 Knicks games, and if we are lucky, I glue myself to the TV for the playoffs. I attended college at Florida State University where I expanded my media, marketing, and people skills. Currently, I am a month removed from graduating and searching for a job in the entertainment industry. I enjoy bike rides, making music, a suspenseful TV show, and spending time with the people closest to me.
