Cream, better known as Eric Clapton’s first big band, or the guys that did Sunshine of Your Love – which may be my leading pick for “oh shit, that’s a ____ song?” (there’s been a few with Zeppelin – proving my lack of music knowledge. Don’t take this blog as a show of my expertise

80’s/90’s rock/punk/pop-punk/noise band Sonic Youth has been a band that I felt like I had heard of but never really checked out. While this release is certainly not mind-blowing to me, it does inspire me to check out more of their shit, especially with this being (I believe?) their sort of more pop-grabby album, much

The latest release Crawler from British punk outfit IDLES includes classic songs from the band such as CRAWL (must watch performance at Glastonbury below! Look at their drummer!!!), The Wheel, Car Crash, Stockholm Syndrome, all fit the classic IDLES sonic profile and are part of what makes the band great. It also deviates a bit

Santana’s first release, a self-titled album, serves as a great introduction to what you’ll receive from the band, and the man. Known more by track 2 – Evil Ways (which sounds like Steelers fan Dan on the mic, but is actually just a guy named Gregg – with two mothafuckin g’s baby.) – the album

The Lips 1993 release (which I thought may have been their first – but in fact they approach Prince level of album outputs – there are a TON) Transmissions From the Satellite Heart was a pretty significant step back (in my chronological listening order!) from their 2001 release Yoshimi. The pysch rock sound is still

A Khraungbin – Lo-Fi Girl – Jazz – Underground Hip-Hop fusion-hybrid, Modal Soul is a great, mellow listen from the Japanese DJ who tragically died in a car crash in his late 30’s. I really think this is sort of a music speaks for itself situation – or maybe I am just tired – probably

I apologize on the behalf of WordPress for the formatting on this one. Maybe it looks completely fine and my computer just stinks. They certainly aren’t mutually exclusive. Sometimes you may click on things on my blog, such as this one, and think that I’m cheating. Let’s revisit the criteria of a new album meeting

To me, Jazz is like a David Lynch movie or a piece in the Louvre that I just can’t understand. And honestly I don’t really care to. I’d rather just listen to Chief Keef or try to integrate Shrek. It’s good. It’s super musically good. Jazz! Favorite songs: Any one of the 10 minute Jazz

Potential surprise first listen here – may be a relisten – who knows – how many dashes – morse code (that’s prose – here I go – OK I’ll stop). The Low End Theory is undeniably lauded as one of, if not the best Jazz-rap album of all time, and my experience with it certainly

The IDLES are an unapologetically contemporary British punk band with a really distinct sound often marked by low driving guitars, frontman Joe Talbots raspy, shouty vocals and some seriously fantastic drums. Not to mention the fucking lyrics, and song titles. Track 2 – Never Fight A Man With A Perm gives us (aside from the
