Joel Ross : Gospel Music

In vibraphonist Joel Ross’ relatively short time making forward-thinking jazz records, he’s racked up an extremely impressive discography. Still only in his early 30s, Ross released his debut album Kingmaker in 2019 and has not slowed down since. With 5 albums under his belt(including his newest Gospel Music), Joel Ross has also become the go-to […]

Gregory Uhlmann : Extra Stars

Composer, guitarist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Gregory Uhlmann is not quite a household name, unless you have someone with their ears to the ground in terms of forward-thinking, progressive music living under the roof. Uhlmann has guested on many records over the last several years(including Perfume Genius, Tasha, and Hand Habits), but has also released albums […]

Hot n Cold…Cold n Hot

Here I wax ecstatic about the weather and how different it was 40 years ago when I was a kid. Old man yells at clouds sort of thing.

Geoff Garlock : Don’t Die Today

California’s Geoff Garlock has made a subtle, little masterpiece with his newest release Don’t Die Today. His first release with Seattle label SFI Recordings, Garlock has made a meditative, transcendent album that welcomes the listener in with warm, open arms. Ambient textures, New Age headiness, and that DIY, personal touch that came out of the […]

The Black Crowes : A Pound of Feathers

The Black Crowes have had a rather consistent and impressive music career that’s spanned nearly 40 years. They established themselves as saviors of blues-based rock and roll with 1990s Shake Your Money Maker, an album that saw many AOR rock radio hits like “Hard To Handle”, “She Talks To Angels”, and “Twice as Hard”. The […]

Billow Observatory : Resina

Jonas Munk and Jason Kolb, aka Billow Observatory, have continued to work on new music since last year’s full-length release The Glass Curtain. The two have just released Resina, a 26-minute EP of new, heady dark ambient pieces that run the gamut between optimistic hues of sunrise and the sleepy tones of minimalism. Both coalescing […]

Mid-March

Hard to believe it’s nearly mid-March in the year of our Lord 2026. We enjoyed 70 degree weather over the last few days, and today we’re back down to 29 degrees. Sunday will be a high in the 60s, then Monday we’ll be back into the 30s. So those folks sensitive to the up and […]

Gnarls Barkley : Atlanta

Mid-2000s were a wild time in indie/alternative rock. You could hit up some Shins in the morning, some Gogol Bordello in the afternoon, then cozy up to some Dirty Projectors in the evening. Can’t sleep? Then put some Regina Spector in your ears and head off to dream land. There was not a vibe that […]

Rob Zombie : The Great Satan

It’s been 28 years since Rob Zombie released his breakthrough solo album Hellbilly Deluxe. A mish mash of industrial chugging, Creature Feature cheesiness, and Zombie’s undying love for everything b-horror. And I bet if “Dragula” comes on the radio you’re bound to crank it up and sing along, at least for the chorus. Of course […]

Long Winter

Winter usually doesn’t affect me mentally. I don’t get the winter blues or anything like that. If anything, I just get tired of how gross the outside becomes; ground and roads muddied from melting snow and ice, brown grass, and all the debris that falls throughout winter in the yard that I’m too lazy to […]
