This one is definitely going to be a quick one. Room on Fire is the follow-up to the current #1 album on this blog, Is This It. Simply put, this certainly feels like a follow-up album and very much a continuation of The Strokes signature sound. The high points of this one are still quite

OK, this might be one of those albums that very few of you care about. High-Flying is a mid-70’s Japanese Fusion Jazz album, in case you were worried that this blog hadn’t gotten niche enough after my previous Lorde review. This album is completely instrumental, and really needs nothing else. Every little sub genre of

A new post type! Can you believe it? Yeah yeah, I know I’m behind, but to be transparent there are a bunch of reviews coming up that are basically X was good, Y was OK, Z was bad, so here’s your entertainment value for a bit. I have had a few people ask me “don’t

Worth checking out if you are into weird, upbeat rock music, Parquet Courts are an eclectic NY based group that is somewhat punk, somewhat talking heads esque, led by a man who definitely was a big Clash fan (London Calling review soon!). You may ask, how do I hear about these groups? Nunya. Might as

Reggae. That’s the genre. What if I started off all my blogs like that? Or with the tag? Does the tag come across on email? That would be nice. I almost left this post as “toot” which was my placeholder. Anyways, what more can I say? This is their best album, it’s a fucking amazing

Self-titled day, apparently. If you’re getting this in your email and wondering if WordPress is glitching or if I’ve completely lost my mind and think that every band just names every album after their band (would be cool), rest assured, all is well. 311 is a band that I heard about from Eric Andre, and

The self-titled Violent Femmes record begins with by far their most famous song that perhaps all 7 of my readers know (there actually may be more than 7… who knows… a magician never reveals his tricks (sub-parenthesis, does that work here? probably not)), that being Blister in the Sun, which actually sets the tone for

I have been a Talking Heads fan for a long time – however Remain in Light is where I really feel like they have clicked with me fully and moved into a new tier of fandom for me. This album is fucking amazing. The first few seconds of this album set the tone for what

Daft Punk’s 2001 Discovery is one of the best things to ever come from electronic/house music and I don’t think that’s really up for debate. Completely ignoring the fact that this album has a movie attached to it that can be seen as converting the album to a linear soundtrack for a film (which, by
