The Slip | Eisenhower

No I’m not talking about the NIN album or the former president; I’m talking about an album from the formerly MA based trio The Slip. The chances are you haven’t heard of them and if you have it was probably from the song ‘Even Rats’ that was featured in the first guitar hero game. However,…

Great band, Great Sound, Great Album… I could pretty much wrap it up right there but as usual I’m probably going to carry on for a bit about shit that’s at best loosely related to the topic at hand.   Anyways, this album was another one that was a bit of a slow burn for me…

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club | Howl

Man what can I say about this album other than it fucking rocks.   Ya it’s a little bit old at this point (2005) but it seems like I tell people about this band all the time and they’ve: A. never heard of BRMC or B. have but never listened to this album.   Now to be…




Futurebirds

Futurebirds | Hampton’s Lullaby

If you’re into psychedelic country rock, think you might be, aren’t sure what it is or you’re currently stoned this album is probably for you.  Hailing from Athens, GA these guys are relatively new to the scene but they’ve been gaining a lot of steam lately.   I’m not sure if the name is a witty…

Seasick Steve | You Can’t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks

Man what can I say about Seasick Steve…well for starters this dude is real as fuck. He’s an old bluesman who spent most of his younger years as a hobo doing all the usual hobo stuff: riding trains, living on the streets, getting locked up and playing the blues. Just listen to a few of…

The Shouting Matches | Grownass Man

This album was a bit of slow burn for me, I picked it up, listened to some of the tracks and never really came back to it. Then ‘Heaven Knows’ came up on shuffle one day while I was walking through town. The song is filthy, it’s got some electric slide that’s straight from the…

Father John Misty | Fear Fun

Let me just start this one off with what is hands down one of the best lines in any song I’ve heard recently: “I ran down the road, pants down to my knees Screaming ‘please come help me, that Canadian shaman gave a little too much to me!’” The song is “I’m Writing a Novel”…



The-Last-Waltz

The Band | The Last Waltz

I know this is a bit of an oldie but it seemed fitting that our first ‘Music’ post be about The Last Waltz. Also it’s arguably one of the best concert films ever made. However, it seems like not that many people of my generation (children of the 80’s), have seen it or heard of…
