Good music is like buses: you go through a slow patch and then a whole bunch comes along all at once. Of course, unlike buses, you don’t have to pick and choose which bits to take, so who’s complaining? Recently-featured D33J turned me on to his old school-mate Hank May, who performs as Rock Dove. The [...]

For folks who love alt-country music, or go out to see live bands in the Dallas area, this band needs no introduction. They’ve been going strong since 1994, when they released their first album “Hitchhike To Rhome”. That’s not a spelling error, it’s a little Texan town outside the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, population 1967. Before [...]

Photo by Brent Mullins There are few bands that can blow me away with one song, but Active Child‘s newest single from its upcoming debut album “You Are All I See” did just that.  ”Hanging On” is intoxicating and breathtaking in all the best ways.  The hypnotic, chorus-like vocals, attributed to Pat Grossi, pulls you [...]

Spendthrift is the alias of LA based Jim Taugher. Jim does a lot. He acts, he writes, he does improv comedy. But in Spendthrift mode he makes mellow, soothing pop music. “Miraculous Trust” is his 10 track album and, as you might expect from someone with an apparent breadth of talents,  it’s all him: every [...]

I think it’s safe to say that every girl has gone through an “Angry Chick” phase.  How many girls played Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill” over and over after some douchebag broke your heart…anyone? Anyone?  Ani DiFranco?  Fiona Apple? Well you can retire those albums for the time being.  Le Butcherettes have it all – [...]

Already out there, Tyler’s second album “Goblin” leaked a few days ago and songs are appearing all over the place in various forms. A few weeks ago he’d mentioned that the next single from “Goblin”, after “Sandwitches” and “Yonkers”, would be the song below, “She” featuring current mixtape maestro and OFWGKTA member Frank Ocean.  Where [...]

One of the primary criticisms about Tyler, The Creator/OFWGKTA is the vulgar and immature nature of the lyrics to their songs. In an interview of Tyler’s that I watched a few weeks ago he mentioned how this is permitted in other mediums like books, TV, and movies, where they can show/describe murder, rape, violence, insane [...]
