Bringing Pride To Poughkeepsie

Jocelyn

One thing about the Hudson Valley, is that residents are always giving back to their communities and those within them. One way they do this is through their annual parades and celebrations, with one of them being the Poughkeepsie Pride Parade and Festival! As we are in the beginning of Pride month, this years celebration will be this upcoming Saturday, June 10th. The incredible sponsor list is only part of the many contributions to this pride celebration, as the festivities also include a pride march consisting of community members and volunteers alike. The parade, hosted by Dutchess County Pride Center, will start at noon with marching starting at Main St and ending at Waryas Park. The festival will follow afterwards, with vendors and fun activities for all! And again, Happy Pride Month from the K104 crew!!

The Chainsmokers Release New Single ‘Self Destruction Mode’

The Chainsmokers are back with a catchy new song. With such a deep back catalog, and hits ranging from the tongue-in-cheek “Selfie,” to the mass breakout single “Closer,” the duo have been comfortable taking chances with their music while staying true to the house melodies and beats that launched their career. In the build-up to their latest single, “Self Destruction Mode,” The Chainsmokers shared a clip to social media saying, “They asked for a classic Chainsmokers drop.” While The Chainsmokers don’t miss with their music, they have evolved, and the energy and power of the drop on the new single invokes feelings more like their early works.

In a recent viral social media video, Paramore’s Hayley Williams is seen being given a friendship bracelet by a fan. The bracelet was said to be in reference to Taylor Swift, with Williams stating that the timing for this gift was very coincidental.

The album “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” will be coming out on July 7th, with many fans wondering if Hayley will be featuring on Taylor’s “Better Than Revenge”. Whether or not this collaboration will actually happen is to be determined, but fans are not holding in their excitement at the thought of it! And if this dream feature does happen, we are ready to “hear the applause” from Swifties around the world.
