Karen from New Jersey writes us this week to say:
“I have three-quarters of a bottle of Blackberry Brandy. What would be the best band to pair with this drink?”
Well Karen, my esteemed co-conspirator and I have discussed heatedly and thoroughly, and have come to a decision.
If you had a whole bottle, this would be [...]
When last I mentioned The Sleeps, it was mostly to air my dissatisfaction with their attempted flair for fashion. No longer. I must atone for my musical closemindedness. Swoopy hair and high-heeled blacklight reactive boots do not automatically cancel out good music. Now it is time for my penance. Many Hail Mary’s, and maybe a [...]
Somewhere between sleep and wakefulness there exists a universe of solid beats and breathy lyrics that seductively pulls you toward a deep and encompassing netherworld. No matter how hard you try you can never seem to quite reach that soothing, entrancing place, but there is hope my friends.
Phantogram.
Yes, Phantogram – fronted by the talented Josh [...]
Anyone who knows anything about me knows I’m just another Brody Dalle fan girl. I am about as close to being in love with Brody Dalle as I can without being completely creepy. This obsession used to be more pronounced, but recently it’s taken a back seat to other obsessions. Why? Because Brody Dalle forsook [...]
Ghost Mice with special guest Heathers hit the mean streets of Cleveland on June 24th, and of course I had to be in on this folk punk action. I was rolling three deep; my unofficial couchsurfer, two and a half week roommate Shu and my 15 year old cousin Taylor were in tow.
The very nice [...]
I pondered for a while on what my first few posts should be about… The state of the music industry? No, too depressing (and generally controversial). A top ten rundown? No, too broad, and besides, MTV and VH1 have had years of those. Eventually, I turned to my trusty iPod, and [...]
Totally Michael is one of those bands I don’t even remember discovering, even though I’ve only known his music for about a year now. I don’t remember that awkward first listen where I’m uncertain as to my thoughts. It was like Kool-aide. Bright and happy and thirst quenching. Poppy electronic, done DIY style (it’s DIY [...]
I was first exposed to Lady Gaga through the most-excellent Internet radio service, Pandora, back in December of 2008. It was a casual passing, I listened to “Love Game” when it graced a station, and while catchy I quickly decided that the song lacked a soul and would be little more than a flitting [...]
That’s not so much a command as it is an introduction because Bomb the Music Industry! graced Cleveland with their presence. The lovely little venue known as the Grog Shop hosted their awesomeness, and luckily my couchsurfers and I were able to be privy to it.
For those of you unfamiliar with Bomb the Music Industry! [...]
