Listen Before You Buy

Whilst not exactly warmly received by critics, The Kills‘ newest album “Blood Pressures” was warmly received by me, and that’s all that matters, right? Right. A couple of weeks ago the band released another new video, this time for the next single from the album “Future Starts Slow” and around the same time the audio for the [...]

One of the fundamental goals of running a music blog is to introduce people to new music.  The primary method of doing this is to highlight new releases, either via up and coming bands that show potential or tried-and-true musical mainstays that generally please the masses.  Lost in this [...]

Who misses Carrie Brownstein’s live wit and dry humor from NPR’s All Songs Considered – the constant mocking of producer Robin Hilton and his droopy-poopy (yet still awesome) music picks?  It was safe to say that I was a little depressed to find out that Carrie was leaving the show; however, she’s since ventured off [...]

Buy the album from Amazon – Vinyl | MP3 | CD Let’s give credit where credit is due.

A new direction this is not. It’s the same direction Black Lips have been going in for the last few years or so, not that it’s a bad thing, but you might think it’s false advertising if you take them at their word.   If you’ve been following the band for the last few years [...]
