This is an important album in the library of any Zevonite. It’s the end of an era, a beautiful final album by an amazing musician with the help of many brilliant, talented and famous friends. It’s truly a lovely album. I just don’t like it that much.
Heresy and blasphemy, should the High Priest of Zevon [...]
Now this is an album. My ratings for individual songs are all over the board. From one to five stars, one song will cause me to erupt into impromptu dance and another will send me spinning into a rage. And yet it seems like once a month I think that I ought to listen to [...]
I have mentioned my deep and abiding (if not a little creepy) love for Third Eye Blind at least twice now on Sound and Tonic.
Here comes round three.
Ursa Major was released not so long ago, and I’ve been mulling it around for a few weeks now. I know that it often takes a reasonable amount [...]
Frequently I find music that isn’t particularly well known. This leaves me having to obsess all by my lonesome until the fateful day that I run into someone else who knows of this music. I then get super excited, freak out a little bit, and surely scare them far enough away that I’m back to [...]
There are some bands that will forever hold a place in my heart. Oft, these bands are some of my earliest secular musical rememberences, or my first delve into a new Genres.
Third Eye Blind, as mentioned a few posts ago, is one of these bands.
Third Eye Blind is amazing. Not only was their debut album [...]
It’s always sobering to hear a band for the first time and think you’ve uncovered this new gem only to discover that not only are they far from new but also prolific with thousands of fans and millions of plays.
That’s what happened with Metric.
The quasi-grunge-alternative-rock group first came onto my radar through – you guessed [...]
Do you remember the first album you bought? Back when you were young, pirating music off the internet wasn’t an option, and the 10 dollars you saved up for that album seemed like a small fortune?
I do. Vibrantly.
I was raised rather sheltered, and secular music was both magical and contraband material. My first CD [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
