Amy Anderson

Amy Anderson is a Magazine Journalism major at University of Georgia. She enjoys reviewing music and film of all kinds, and hopes to add more to the experience of listening or watching by adding critical perspective and showing various sides to works that audiences love (or hate, or feel indifferent towards). As well, when writing features, she strives to offer a glimpse into the artist’s creative process or ideology through engaging stories or thoughts. Her goal is to offer audiences unseen insight on creative works while opening eyes to worthwhile music and art. Amy's current five favorite musicians— though it’s always in rotation— are Andrew Bird, Beirut, Björk, John Maus, and Milosh. Her "guilty" pleasure is Robyn— if you don’t like her, you’re probably just pretending.

Yeah Dexter, We Remember the Monsters — Do You?

Posted on September 25, 2013May 2, 2014 by Amy Anderson

When we invest 96 Sundays into a series that should have ended four stale seasons ago, we don’t want a fairytale ending — we want shit to go down. Dexter could have left with dignity.  It could have spun full circle with poetic justice, blindsiding viewers by what we claimed to want but suddenly regret. …

Austra: Feel It, Live

Posted on September 20, 2013October 8, 2013 by Amy Anderson

I didn’t tear up during Austra’s heart-wrenching “Home,” with Katie Stelmanis’ opera-trained vocals and strong repetitive keyboard transitioning into upbeat —but still terribly lonely— electro-pop.  I wasn’t alone in my car this time; I was at a dive-bar and venue in East Atlanta called The Earl, staring at Stelmanis’ knee-length culottes and platform shoes, the…

REVIEW: Blue Jasmine – Intoxicated by the Anti-Heroine

Posted on September 12, 2013October 8, 2013 by Amy Anderson

Watching an elegantly primped, expensively dressed Cate Blanchett in Woody Allen’s newest film, Blue Jasmine feels less like a night of Cristal and tiny hors d’oeuvres and more like a bender of room temperature vodka and plastic orange Xanax bottles.  Before you’re completely intoxicated, it’s a bitter mouthful to swallow. Jasmine (Blanchett) is introduced to…

Acapoco: “Yard Rock”

Posted on August 28, 2013October 8, 2013 by Amy Anderson

It’s only fitting that the Meansville, Georgia-based psychedelic-rock trio, Acapoco, define their sound as a “powerful backdrop for you summer cookout.” After all, their single is titled “Yard Rock”, their artwork is a photograph of the three blurred in the grass, and their sound mimics the atmospheric nature of a summer night spent chillin’ with…

REVIEW: David Lynch and Lykke Li’s “I’m Waiting Here”

Posted on June 12, 2013October 8, 2013 by Amy Anderson

Two years since David Lynch’s “Pinky’s Dream,” the release of his upcoming album, The Big Dream, is creeping along quite nicely, with Lykke Li’s whispered hint of a far sexier and more surreal theme of an album that may indeed be much bigger and better than its predecessor. “I’m Waiting Here,” the Lykke Li/David Lynch…

What We Know About Season Four of Arrested Development

Posted on May 16, 2013October 9, 2013 by Amy Anderson

After about six and a half years of waiting, the Bluths could have had us thinking they’d never come back for us— but that’s why you always leave a note.  Thankfully, they left us a few. Here are the ones we’ve gathered at Vinyl Mag: 1. From the trailer, it looks like… Michael is moving,…

REVIEW: The Flaming Lips’ The Terror

Posted on March 4, 2013October 8, 2013 by Amy Anderson

  When the Flaming Lips released In a Priest Driven Ambulance, I was a trembling fetus nestled in my mother’s womb.  When I was nine, the band was radiating mainstream attention, but I didn’t know because no exceptionally cool third-grader brought The Soft Bulletin to show-and-tell.  And when I was 12, Yoshimi was battling the…

Four Short Film Music Videos to Battle Your A.D.D.

Posted on February 14, 2013October 8, 2013 by Amy Anderson

In today’s culture, size definitely matters. As a rule of majority, we tend to take a mere glance at something before moving onto the next big thing.  It’s just how the Youtube era works — brevity and catchiness are vital elements needed to grab viewers long enough for them to actually finish watching a video….

Washed Away by a2

Posted on November 21, 2012October 8, 2013 by Amy Anderson

Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm – a2 (Official Video) from Erased Tapes on Vimeo. In the midst of holiday festivities, insanity settles in. Perhaps Ólafur Arnalds had this in mind when he posted the Michael Zoidis & Jodie Southgate video for his and Nils Frahm’s collaboration song, “a2”.
