New Listens 10/10 – 10/12: Bruno Mars, Action Bronson, Babe Rainbow
I’m out of tidbits. Use these links to jump to reviews from Bruno Mars (Pop), Action Bronson (Rap), Babe Rainbow (psych rock). Bruno Mars – 24K Magic (Pop) I hate to say this, but this is much closer to Planet Pit than I ever hoped it would be. I really like and respect Bruno – Continue reading

Pure Heroine – Lorde
Hello again, motherfuckers. Should I even preface these brief hiatus’s (hiati?) with this greeting anymore? They are becoming much closer to frequent than few and far between. While my output may not be as prolific as that of a man working 12 hours a week – which feels like a distant memory 😦 – I’ll Continue reading

Parachutes – Coldplay
Hello again – it’s been a long 6 days in my mind since my last blog. Did you notice I had a nice little streak going? That was that. Hopefully I can get it back here. Let’s address the elephant in the room – yes, this is that Coldplay. The Coldplay that had 4 songs Continue reading

Is This It – The Strokes
Some of you may be surprised that I have never listened to not only this album but anything from The Strokes. However, I don’t expect any surprise in response to my loving this record, given how much alternative rock this blog has featured and praised. This album from the strokes is super fun, groovy, catchy Continue reading

Rumours – Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 release Rumours firmly slots in at #2 in the famous albums I had never listened to (Thriller was #1). I had obviously heard many of these songs before – many times through my bedroom wall as a certain reader of my blog belted them in the shower – some of them still Continue reading

AM – Arctic Monkeys
First things first with this review, we have to talk about the plays for this album. I knew Arctic Monkeys were big but what the fuck! This album has exactly 0 songs under 100 million plays on Spotify. In fact, only 4/12 songs on this album have less than 200 million – including three songs Continue reading

My Soft Machine – Arlo Parks
Arlo Parks’ most recent release My Soft Machine is the British artist’s sophomore album, following up Collapsed in Sunbeams – which not only received critical acclaim and a grammy nomination, but also received high praise from my blog, a crowning achievement. However, and I hate to do this to Arlo because I really liked Collapsed Continue reading

Morbid Stuff – Pup
Thank you Mark for this one – Pup is a Toronto band (Canadians!) that is best described as pop-punk – they certainly have the pop punk lead singer voice nailed down perfectly, albeit with a bit of an indie rock lead singer voice flavor (well said, I know.) I am not sure why Spotify discriminates Continue reading

Thriller – Michael Jackson
I was considering opening this review by curbing any potential shock that I had never listened to this album before, but I really don’t think that’s necessary. I would say well less than half of my generation has listened to this album all the way through, a problem that is partially based on the fact Continue reading

Voices – Hall & Oates
I feel like I keep having Hall & Oates on this quest because of one fucking song – Do What You Wanna Be, Be Who You Are. I heard that shit and I understood that maybe there is more than just Rich Girl, a song that I teeter between thinking is pretty good and peering Continue reading
