Hard to Miss, Impossible to Forget: Maggie Rogers Releases Third Studio Album, ‘Don’t Forget Me’

Arts and Culture, Music and Pop Culture

Self-described “witchy feminist rockstar” Maggie Rogers is hitting the road again.

I discovered Rogers by chance in early 2019, shortly after her first studio album, “Heard It in a Past Life” came out. Since then, Rogers has released two albums, “Notes from the Archive: Recordings 2011–2016” (2020) and “Surrender” (2022). During this time, I have grappled with simultaneously wanting to gate-keep Roger’s musical genius and impose it on all of my family, friends and acquaintances. Despite my greatest efforts, I have been unable to keep Maggie Rogers to myself.

About a year ago, I discovered “The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love” (1995), a beautiful independent romance film written and directed by a fellow Smithie, Maria Maggenti ’86 which tells the story of how two teenage girls fall in love with each other.

Opinions and Sex and the Smithie

Not I, nor anyone else, would dare to call Smith College a party school. It is not an overstatement or bad faith criticism to say weekends on campus are sometimes, perhaps often, dire. The underwhelming party scene is widely recognized and, for this very reason, also not particularly compelling to analyze.

Troy David Mercier está demandando a miembros de una compañía de teatro de Northampton, Proyecto Teatro 24 horas , una afiliada de Paintbox Theater Company, por 150.000 dólares por supuesta difamación y daños emocionales. Mercier recibió un máster en dramaturgia de Smith College y una licenciatura en Teatro de la Universidad de Massachusetts en Amherst. Mercier empezó a trabajar en Paintbox Theater en 2004 y ha sido un miembro activo del teatro desde entonces. Paintbox Theater ha utilizado las facilidades teatrales de Smith para organizar algunas de sus actuaciones antes de esta demanda.
