For what I hope is not the last time – Thank you Dave Grohl. I would have not known about this album without reading your book. To get even more detailed, which I am deeming necessary, I would’ve never known about this if not for Frank getting me more into Nirvana, which led me to

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

Fucking Great/God Tier: Anderson .Paak – Ventura : Naturally. BB King – Live at Cook County Jail: BB and Lucille can sing my lullabies for the rest of my life. Djo – Twenty Twenty: Steve! Flaming Lips – Yoshimi Fights the Robots: Great themes, songwriting, instrumentalization, psych rock, battling. Green Day – Dookie: Iconic. Marvin

Can you tell what music I’ve been into lately? Thank you to my uncle for putting me on to this album from British artist T.Rex, lead by the talented but tragically short-lived Marc Bolan (who died at 30 in a car crash). To me, albeit this is my second listen, the album is everything that

One of the best-selling albums of all time, Supernatural, is quite an interesting front to back. It starts with (Da Le) Yaleo, a (great) super groovy tune with Spanish vocals and strong electric guitar riffs sparsed throughout the track, seemingly setting the tone for a groovy listen. Nope, not at all. What’s next? A Dave

Maybe I was a bit Police-d out at this point, but I found this one to be the most lackluster of The Police discography. The album that I will forever refer to as “the numbers one” falls a bit flat all around. Every Little Thing She Does is Magic is a fun song, but of

Don’t tell anyone but I think this is better than What’s Going On. At least damn close to it, the only thing that this album is lacking is the powerful songwriting. Which, upon writing, does feel like quite an important factor. This album kicks off with the now (re)popularized I Want You, the foundation of

I’ve been staring down this review for quite some time. It’s intimidated me. Not because I didn’t like this album (I did, and it was another on the roads of Italy, which added to its value), and not because I don’t think it has classic songs, a unique sound, incredible lyricism, all of the above.

The newest release from Dinner Party is the second album from the trio of Robert Glasper, Terrance Martin and Kamasi Washington that my blog has been graced with. The first album was tight, groovy and super catchy – and I think this may have been because that album had production from one of the best

Yes this is an EP. Get on me about it. You listen to 120 albums in 4 months motherfucker. Plus, an EP of a certain length is more or less an album. We can get into this debate if you want to. I have people that can back me. I can continue yelling into the
