You wanna go grab milkshakes down at the Soda Fountain? Of course not! It’s fucking cold outside and your imagination of whatever the hell a Soda Fountain is telling you that you’ll just end up a sticky mess. And not in the good way. But if you are feeling nostalgic for the mid 20th century…
You know what’s great about being hung over? No, not “nothing”. Getting to listen to some great mellow music. As much as we all love Icelandic Death Metal, sometimes you need something a little less aggressive to start your day. That’s where Justin Townes Earle comes in. Now some people have criticized his particular brand…
For years The Decemberists were one of those bands like The National that you would hear about all the time but you never knew anyone really 100% into them. The Decemberists? Oh yeah, I think I saw them on Conan or The Colbert Report? Are they new? No they have like 5 albums and…
Last time I wrote about one of Bad Religion’s under-appreciated albums. Today I’m going for one of Pearl Jam’s. Why? Well, they’ve only released about half as many albums, but it’s still easy to lose track of them over 25 years. Also, and more truthfully, when going back and listening to Bad Religion’s back catalog…
I’ve been pissed lately. Not about personal things. Love life is great, work isn’t terrible, I even got a full night’s sleep last night. But I’m increasingly more upset with every over the top news story, every reported failure of the government, and every demonstration of society’s ignorance and apathy. And when I’m feeling…
I’ve been digging The Districts since I saw them open for Dr. Dog a few weeks back and as I mentioned before I was pretty blow away by their performance. These dudes are young but they don’t play like it. They’ve got a great folk rock sound that combines clever, catchy lyrics with sweet and…
I don’t really know how to categorize what John Kelsey does but I’ve been a fan since the first time I saw him play. He was wielding some sort of a homemade synth keytar, ripping an epic Talking Heads cover and I though fuck this guy knows how to party. There’s a little bit of…
This album is really good. No, trust me. I know Weezer has put out like 10 albums in a row that suck but these are the best songs they have recorded since Pinkerton. No hyperbole. It’s like Rivers finally decided to stop fucking around and write good songs that aren’t jokes or just plain terrible…
So I’m going to continue my trend of recommending albums that have been out for awhile and you’ve probably already heard of… but you know what fuck it. So on that note….. I love this album. It Still Moves been in my top ten ever since the first time I listened to it. My Morning…
Bake here. I’m all about having fun. You know, get a couple cocktails in me, start a fire in someone’s kitchen. Maybe go to Seaworld, take my pants off. So on that note let’s talk about Tumbledown’s fun album Empty Bottle. Disclaimer: I will be doing all of the talking. This is band is an example…
