Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon is the sixth studio album by the band Murder By Death. It is similar in sound to their last few albums, a sort of alt-rock/americana blend that is pretty popular these days. If the band is known at all it’s because their song “Coming Home” was used in the trailer for…
There’s been a more than a few of theres Woody Guthrie tributes in recent years and they’re usually pretty good but in my opinion New Multitudes is the top of the heap. Well, to be honest I haven’t really listened to most of the other ones… but I’m still pretty confident in that statement. …
Holy shit what a mouthful of a title. That aside, this is easily Neko Case’s easiest album to get into. Easy. Maybe not the best, but for having one of the most blow-people -out-of-the-water-voices, some of her earlier stuff is really not that accessible.

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…
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…
