hi aj! i just came across all your meta and headcanons (which i love btw) and i'm sorry if you've been asked this before, but what's your favorite gsr episode? and what's your favorite sara episode? i'm just curious because you really get the characters very well so i wonder about your favorite scenes. love your fanfiction btw! keep writing ❤ and meta-ing! ❤

hi, anon!

thank you so much for your kind words! ❤ i'm so happy you like my stuff. i also very much appreciate the encouragement on the fic and meta!

to answer your question:

can i cheat a bit and give you two favorite gsr episodes?

my favorite-favorite gsr episode is 04x12 "butterflied" (which, coincidentally, first aired twenty years ago yesterday, on january 15th, 2004). it is, to my mind, the most technically perfect teleplay in all of csi.

one of the rare examples of an episode that places grissom and sara's relationship "front and center," it is nevertheless remarkably subtle, still operating mostly on a subtextual level. until grissom gives his monologue at the end, he actually speaks very little throughout, and yet his emotions couldn't be louder. likewise, though we get very few actual interactions between him and sara start to finish, they couldn't be more conscious of each other, orbiting around along concentric paths like two celestial objects trapped in the same gravity. grissom's haunted, heartsick looks alone are worth the price of admission, but of course the pièce de résistance is his monologue at the end—and then the gut-punch reveal to the audience that sara listened in on the whole thing. the episode really is peak angst done well and a watershed in terms of grissom and sara's relationship.

that said, "butterflied" is also not super cheerful or happy-shippy, so i will also offer up my favorite feel-good gsr episode, which is episode 02x16 "primum non nocere"—or as i like to call it "gsr: flirting on ice." truly, nothing beats the iconic "since i met you" scene, but there are also myriad other delightful little grissom and sara exchanges throughout, from them tag-teaming to give greg a rough time to them making eyes at each other while processing bedsheets. this episode is very much one of those "married before they were married" episodes, and it's one i tend to watch whenever i just want to enjoy my otp being stupidly in love with each other.

as for my favorite sara episode, i've gotta go with episode 08x01 "dead doll." sara's escape from natalie davis's deathtrap showcases everything i love about that girl, including her gutsiness, rawness, intelligence, resilience, vulnerability, stubbornness, and irrepressible survival instinct. i'm especially fond of the scene just before sara finally passes out at the side of the highway, where she's walking through the desert, doing simple math problems to keep herself conscious. forget "damsel in distress;" sara saves herself, and jorja fox delivers a masterclass performance in the process.

thanks for the question! please feel welcome to send another any time.

“We’re the dinosaurs,” a jovial William Petersen says as he sits alongside longtime partner in crime-solving Jorja Fox in Los Angeles. “Billy’s more like a T. rex,” she counters with a laugh. The pair are talking to TV Guide Magazine about their iconic CSI: Crime Scene Investigation characters—dispassionate forensic entomologist Gil Grissom and his wife, intrepid forensic scientist Sara Sidle—returning to the lab in CSI: Vegas, a sequel to their 2000–15 crime drama sensation.

Last seen sailing off into the sunset in the 2015 finale movie Immortality, Sara and Grissom “were my favorite parts of the original and the perfect entrée into the story we’re telling here,” says executive producer Jason Tracey. Vegas joins a franchise that has already spawned three spinoffs, CSI: Miami (2002–12), CSI: NY (2004–13) and CSI: Cyber (2015–16).

An attack on their old workplace is the catalyst that brings the happily married couple back to dry land. “Someone’s targeting the lab. A conspiracy calls into question the integrity of the work we always saw get done,” Tracey says. “Thousands of prior convictions hang in the balance.”

New faces in Vegas include boss Maxine Roby (Paula Newsome, Barry), who’s a geneticist; senior investigator Josh Folsom (Matt Lauria, Kingdom); Level 2 CSI Allie Rajan (Mandeep Dhillon); and head medical examiner Hugo (Mel Rodriguez). We’ll also see past team members David Hodges (Wallace Langham), now an expert witness, and, for two episodes, retired LVPD captain Jim Brass (Paul Guilfoyle).

First, Petersen and Fox tell us why they decided to roll the dice on CSI: Vegas.

Congratulations, first of all. How has it been revisiting Sara and Grissom?

William Petersen: Completely weird because we thought we’d put this to bed a long time ago. It’s a whole new thing and yet still the bones of the old thing.

Jorja Fox: Like Groundhog Day on some psychedelic [level].

When you first got the call about this sequel, what were your reactions?

Petersen: I was hesitant, but the idea of coming back and doing this with Jorja…

Fox: I was also hesitant—I felt like the story left Sara and Grissom in paradise together—but getting to work with William Petersen again? They had me at hello!

Petersen: It’s like riding a bike; you just get right back on. We got a tandem and we know how to do it.

What’s the state of the union for these two characters?

Fox: First of all, I love Sara and Grissom. I always will. Not to talk about the olden days too much, but even though we were together, we weren’t together. We were [secretly] married, we were divorced. Embarking on this phase, we’re going to meet them not only as a couple that’s together, but a couple that’s been living on and off a boat together for several years.

Petersen: We’re working on saving and studying fish, protecting sharks, down in South America somewhere.

Fox: We kind of pulled a Jimmy Buffet.

Petersen: We’re in Margaritaville.

What on earth could cause Sara and Grissom to ditch that for Las Vegas?

Petersen: Somebody accuses the Crime Lab of having falsified evidence, and it goes back over a long period of time.

Fox: All of the characters are tapped into [this case] for the duration of the season, and the stakes are really high. There’s loved ones involved and the safety of loved ones. And through that, we meet the new CSIs and forge those relationships.

There are weekly cases too—Sara still has CSI accreditation, and Grissom signs on as a consultant. But has the technology left these two behind?

Petersen: [Grissom walks] through the lab and [doesn’t] even understand what the machines are.

Fox: I thought it was difficult to get away with a crime in [the year] 2000. Now there’s no way to get away with murder! The science is a thrill!

Will we finally get to see some PDA this time around?

Petersen: Our attraction to each other was always based on the work. We were always in some kind of mind meld when we were working. There was nobody he would rather be in the lab with or on a crime scene with than Sara. She got it. She got him, and he eventually got her.

Fox: [Grinning] The show is going to air at 10pm, so we can be a little edgier than we were last time.

Incredible Artists You Should Check Out

I haven’t made one of these posts in a big long while, so here we are! I’ve been cultivating this list for some time now, so without further ado, some artists that I think deserve a little love. 

Emotional Oranges: This group has it all. Male and female vocals, both of which are silky as heck? Check. A chill R&B sound with bubbly beats that’ll sweep you off your feet? Check. Summery vibes that will keep you warm even during the coldest of winter months? Check. This group’s music is so refreshing, with a zesty twist, almost like... what is that fruit? A lime? Yeah, definitely a lime.  

Check Out If You Like: Dominic Fike, Frank Ocean

My Top Tracks: Motion, Just Like You

Love You Later: This woman’s music has been my one-stop shop for melancholic dream pop as of late. Her first longer project is called How Many Nights Do You Dance With Tears in Your Eyes?, and I think that about sums up the atmosphere of her sound. Her emotional performances, paired with glistening, synth-laded production make for songs you could slow-dance to with a pang of sorrow in your heart. 

Check Out If You Like: The Japanese House, Lorde

My Top Tracks: Emily, Making Plans

Ariana and the Rose: If you’re on the hunt for some euphoric synthpop, then I have some good news for you. Ariana and the Rose has been dropping singles for actual years now, but I found her music through her most recent release, her “Constellations Phase 1″ EP from last year. It’s got some of the freshest pop bops I’ve heard in a while, from the funky, “Make Me Feel” by Janelle Monáe-eque “You Were Never My Boyfriend” to the endlessly danceable “True Love.” 

Check Out If You Like: Foxes, MUNA

My Top Tracks: True Love, You Were Never My Boyfriend

Half Wolf: This woman may only have a handful of tracks to her name, but she’s already established herself as a fantastic balladeer. Her voice ranges from delicate and soaring up into the upper register to powerful and rich in vibrato. Her instrumentals are simple, but never boring, always serving to elevate her beautiful performances. 

Check Out If You Like: Jade Bird, Julia Jacklin

My Top Tracks: Pretty Lonely, Cigarette Smoke

Joy Crookes: I am obsessed, OBSESSED, with this woman’s voice, her cadence and intonations are so laid back and effortless. The way she blends hip hop and R&B sounds with organic instrumentals is so relaxing, and it projects an aura of warmth that I can’t get enough of. She’s got three EPs out and they’re all gold. She also did a Kendrick Lamar medley that’s amazing. 

Check Out If You Like: Khalid, Jorja Smith

My Top Tracks: Hurts, Yah/Element (Medley)

Kelsy Karter: I mean, her Spotify bio says: “If Angelina Jolie and Mick Jagger had a one night stand you’d get me,” and I’m not here to disagree with that. Kelsy Karter is a force to be reckoned with, she’s got a voice full of husky grit and rock star swagger. Her songs balance classic-sounding instrumentals and a modern wit in the lyrical department, like in her song “Harry,” which plays off a crazed stan character à la Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” over a crunching electric guitar. 

Check Out If You Like: Amy Winehouse, Elle King

My Top Tracks: Harry, Liquor Store On Mars

Stereo Jane: This power-pop duo came up on my Instagram feed a few weeks ago and I’ve been obsessed with them ever since. Mia (right) slays on the drums, and Sydney (left) kills it with the vocals. Their sound blends brooding lyrics and instrumentals with a spark of energy that will make you want to take on the world. They’ve only got three recent singles, but it seems like they’re building up steam for something big. Also they’re twins!

Check Out If You Like: FLETCHER, Madison Beer

My Top Tracks: Strangers, Real World

Arlo Parks: With her smoky-smooth vocals and confessional songwriting, Arlo Parks is making waves at just nineteen years old. Her music is so achingly relatable in both its simplicity and its genuine execution. Whether you’re looking for chill indie pop ballads to yearn to or a new bisexual icon to stan, then I can’t recommend her enough. 

Check Out If You Like: King Princess, Daniel Caesar

My Top Tracks: Cola, Eugene

Blu DeTiger: What about this woman isn’t cool? Her name is cool, her aesthetic is cool, and most of all, her music is cool. I first came across her due to her bass-playing videos on TikTok, (which are all FIRE,) and her instrumental skills really come across in her tunes. Her music is fun, funky, and always has a killer groove driven by an awesome bass line. 

Check Out If You Like: The Aces, HAIM

My Top Tracks: Tangerine, Mad Love

No Frills Twins: This identical twin duo had such a long hiatus I feared that they had disbanded, but no! With the release of their latest single, it appears that they are back on their game. If you’re into music with a danceable pulse, thundering bass, sharp synths, and a twinge of strangeness, then you’ll dig this group’s thrilling take on no-frills pop. Not only that, their voices have a distinct deep timbre that is totally unique. 

Check Out If You Like: MARINA, (especially The Family Jewels era MARINA,) Charli XCX

My Top Tracks: Love Me Tender, Paper Love

LoveLeo: Apparently this guy is John C. Reilly’s son? I don’t really care, because he’s dropped nothing but bops. His music has this breezy, playful, and jaunty feel to it that slots perfectly into a Summer stroll playlist. If you’re into laid back, somewhat low-fi bedroom pop or indie pop then you’ll love what he has to offer. Also his visuals are mind-bendingly creative.

10 Ones to Catch at Coachella 2018

Photo: Courtesy of Coachella

It’s officially that time of the year again. Coachella 2018 is right around the corner, signifying the beginning of festival season -- and what a lineup it is. At the top of the poster, you’ll find some of the biggest names in popular music today -- Beyoncé, The Weeknd, and Eminem lead the charge, but not to be outshined by some living legends and indie darlings. David Bryne, the founding member, principal songwriter, and lead singer and guitarist of seminal art pop, rock band Talking Heads joins Jamiroquai, the definitive band of the ‘90s London’s acid jazz and funk movement, to make Coachella 2018 a festival for the ages. And where would Coachella be without its indie-darlings-turned-cult-favorites, with King Krule, HAIM, Fleet Foxes, The War On Drugs, and St. Vincent rounding out the lineup nicely.

The vast amount of talent on display is immediately apparent, and that’s only touching upon the tip of the iceberg. With over 150 acts making up the Coachella 2018 lineup, where does one possibly start? Well, that’s where we come in. We have handpicked some of the most promising and interesting rising talent that is not to be missed for the nearly 100-thousand music fans who will make their way to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. These are 10 Ones To Catch at Coachella 2018. PLUS, follow our Spotify playlist to get pumped at your pregame!

Jorja Smith

Jorja Smith has earned comparisons to legendary figures such as Amy Winehouse and Ms. Lauryn Hill, and one listen makes it clear why. The 19-year-old English rising star began her career making striking and emotive R&B music informed by the political and economic issues that surrounded her upbringing. Every one of Smith’s songs is relentless in the way that it pierces the heart, and we would have had no complaints if Smith solely continued on creating some of the most transcendent R&B in recent memory. However, the last year has showcased just how deep Smith’s level of artistry goes, as she adventures off and experiments with new genres. 2017 was the year that Smith would find herself both featured on Drake’s acclaimed More Life and on the club-ready “On My Mind.” Proving herself as a multi-faceted talent in the last year, Smith is sure not to disappoint when she takes the stage.

Tom Misch

When it comes to eliciting emotion through wonderfully layered instrumentation and soulful vocal stylings, no one does it quite like Tom Misch. Utilizing a DIY approach to song making, Misch creates songs that feel like living, breathing works of arts, each with their own unique stories. The South Londoner originally found inspiration from such seemingly disparate places as J Dilla and John Mayer whose influences can be heard throughout Misch’s music in the way he crafts mesmerizing hip-hop style beats that are never lacking as far as layers of hypnotic bass lines and guitar riffs are concerned. However, to categorize Misch as an artist with a penchant for groovy bass lines and a love for hip-hop is far too simplistic, as his pieces fuse together not only elements of hip-hop but shimmering disco-funk and jazz instrumentation as well. Tom Misch is an act surely not to be missed as he transforms the polo fields into a sonic daydream.

Elohim

Elohim has found herself on our Ones To Catch list before and for good reason. The enigmatic nature surrounding Elohim’s persona is in and of itself highly alluring, as Elohim shrouds herself behind an array of animal masks or her layers of straight black hair. While the mysterious nature surrounding Elohim may serve as the original entry point of fascination for some, her music will surely keep listeners enticed long after the fact. Creating lush and dreamy electro-pop numbers, such as the surprisingly at-home Mariachi instrumentation found in “Hallucinating,” Elohim’s music speaks volumes for the enigmatic figure. This sense of experimentation bleeds over to Elohim’s live show as well, where one is treated with not only an auditory trip but a visual one as well, as computer-generated voices and captivating imagery add another dimension entirely to this not to miss performance.

The Regrettes

One of the biggest regrets you can find yourself agonizing over this post-Coachella season is missing out on The Regrettes. All bad puns aside, The Los Angeles-based punk act is an act to behold for those seeking out an act unmatched in raw, brazen energy and talent. The Regrettes’ style of punk rock is very much informed by the band’s upbringing in sunny Los Angeles, as tracks like “Seashore” with its Beach Boys-style instrumentations bring forth sun-soaked imagery without ever sacrificing the punk sentiments the band is so adept at delivering. For those who said punk was dead, it merely took a new form, in the sun-tinged ‘50s and ‘60s pop-inspired sound of The Regrettes. So, if you’re looking for somewhere to mosh to your heart’s content as some of the infectious punk stylings out there soundtrack the whole experience, then you’ll find yourself overjoyed catching The Regrettes.

Yaeji

Yaeji may have just been the breakout act of last year. Seemingly emerging from nowhere, the 24-year-old Korean-American electronic producer is one of the newest and most exciting voices in house music. Placing herself at the forefront of her own tracks, singing in hushed tones that shift between Korean and English at a moment’s notice, and crafting irresistible bouts of production are a few of the aspects in Yaeji’s repertoire that serve as a testament to why the buzzing house producer is such an intriguing act to follow. Yaeji’s versatility with beat-making is another one of her strongest suits. Tracks like “Therapy” seemingly have more in common with dream pop, yet one can find tracks like “passionfruit” that showcase Yaeji as an artist capable of repurposing a hip-hop hit into a slow-burning dancefloor jam. So, as Yaeji continues to take over dancefloors across the world, from living rooms to warehouses, we can’t wait to watch her add Coachella to her ever-growing list.

Greta Van Fleet

The film Almost Famous is a music lover's classic for a number reasons, one of the reasons being its portrayal of the “death rattle of rock and roll.” Well as anyone who has heard Greta Van Fleet can attest, rock and roll is alive and well. The four-piece rock band emerging from Frankenmuth, Michigan has all the trademark stylings of what makes a great rock band so great. From each song’s anthemic nature, the arena-sized hooks, the earth-shattering vocals, unrestrained guitar solos and riffs, and a frontman who sounds like he was born solely to lead a rock band, Greta Van Fleet has it all. But don’t be fooled, Greta Van Fleet isn’t merely imitators or revivalists. They are hands down innovators breathing new life into rock and roll. Championing the next wave of rock and roll, Greta Van Fleet are bound to turn their Coachella set into a Woodstock-worthy performance.

LÉON

Sweden has served as a wellspring for the most veritable talent in pop music. From Lykke Li, Tove Lo, to Robyn, some of the most memorable acts of recent memory have been a byproduct of Sweden, and LÉON is an artist poised to follow in those very footsteps. LÉON’s music embodies some of the best indie-pop has to offer, crafting spellbinding pop numbers that perfectly capture a lingering sense of melancholy. While a certain air of mysticism surrounds the Swedish-pop sensation, the reasoning behind her music sounding like that of a seasoned veteran is clear as day. While LÉON in her current incarnation may be new to the world, the singer first got her start as the frontwoman of a ten-piece hip-hop and soul band at the young age of seventeen. The experience undoubtedly rubbed off on her, as the amount of energy LÉON brings to any performance, and will indisputably bring to her Coachella performance, is palpable.

Cherry Glazerr

Founded and based in Los Angeles, Cherry Glazerr is the definition of a band that has stayed true to its roots, refusing to compromise an ounce of its authentic sound. Led by Clementine Creevy, Cherry Glazerr first found its start in Creevy’s bedroom in 2012, where the at-the-time high-schooler recorded songs under the name of Clembutt. Since then, Cherry Glazerr has gone on to release two critically-acclaimed albums, 2014’s Haxel Princess and 2017’s Apocalipstick, as well as bringing to life the noisy and beautiful “Had Ten Dollaz,” as a commission for Saint Laurent. Indeed, the very fact that Cherry Glazerr presented a noise-rock powerhouse when asked to commission a song for one of the world’s leading fashion icons is a testament to the band’s ethos and tenacity as a tried and true noise rock band. The type of band that is sure to deliver in large amounts at this year’s Coachella.

Tash Sultana

From busking on the streets to selling out worldwide shows, Tash Sultana is the very personification of a fantastical music story in the making. Whatever your introduction may be to Sultana, whether it be through the awe-inspiring videos of her busking or listening to her beautifully crafted numbers, it's immediately apparent why the Melbourne artist is universally praised. The solitary powerhouse is an absolute virtuoso on the guitar, looping herself to create stunning creations abounding with an array of arresting sonic textures. While Sultana’s most evident talent is her guitar prowess, it is not the only area where she exceeds. The young powerhouse has a voice that shines with an enchanted quality, transforming the artist into a full-fledged one-woman act that can stop an entire crowd, or rather, a polo field full of people dead in its tracks.

Nothing But Thieves

At the perfection intersection between passionate indie rock and pop sensibility, you’ll find Nothing But Thieves. Hailing from Southend-on-Sea in Essex, England, the critically-acclaimed band crafts atmospheric and artful indie rock that has earned them well-deserved comparisons to Arctic Monkeys and Foals. The comparison isn’t limited solely to the stunning use of instrumentation Nothing But Thieves have on display, but also in the gripping and thought-provoking lyricism underlying the band’s songwriting. With the band’s recently released sophomore album, Broken Machine, Nothing But Thieves are bound to deliver an exciting new live set brimming with energy and a wealth of previously unheard material. And trust us, as previous presenters of a Nothing But Thieves tour, we can confidently say that this band puts on a show that delivers in spades.
