Game of Thrones is the last popular show. It is the last show that you can ask anyone about and they will know something about it. It captured a wide audience before video streaming services with their massive libraries catapulted into ubiquity and fragmented viewers that shows like Lost once united. GoT is a complex and sprawling epic that tapered off at the end, but no one will doubt its ambition and cultural impact. Its legacy will be cemented in television history.

How does Animal Collective do it? How does one come up with the sounds that they come up with and concoct them into such bizarre but beautiful melodies? Drugs? Probably (definitely). When I look at the tracklist of Feels it's hard to believe how many songs from this album I consider my all time favorites. If you only listen to one song in your life (and I mean truly listen - remove all other audible distractions and turn the volume of your sound listening apparatus way up), let it be Banshee Beat.

When I think of the perfect novel I think of 1984. Its subject matter is historically relevant. One might even argue it's even increasing in relevancy in today's political climate. 1984 is also surprisingly captivating and entertaining. Even if you read nothing but Dan Brown you will still admire its thrills and page-turning ability. Finally, 1984 is just an example of great, great writing. Its precise and impactful prose is a landmark of 20th century novel and permanently influenced the topography of literature.
