Unreality

Things are getting weirder and weirder out there, folks. It’s getting to the point now where it’s hard to tell on the internet what -or who- is real and what’s some fabrication of some AI machine. I haven’t been on Elon Musk’s Incel website in at least a couple years. I’ve used Threads for a […]

zakè & Coppice Halifax : Tree Grid

Collaboration is the spice of creativity, as well as life. Of course being in a room alone with just your ideas, musical instruments, and a recording device can also be a completely satisfying experience, but when you can bounce ideas off of another creative mind there’s nothing more exhilarating. Having a like-minded soul building upon […]

Running out of hard drive space….

I used to be a well of useless information. I’d hold pointless facts about movies, music, books, TV shows, obscure childhood moments, bizarre elementary school dreams, and tossed-off conversations as if my life depended on it. Need to know about the short-lived TV series Automan starring Desi Arnaz, Jr? I’m your guy. What studio did […]

Getting closer to the chill…

I woke up Monday morning to a chill. Sunday was cooler than Saturday, so the AC was shut off and the windows opened. There’s a calming feeling that comes over me when the fall is just around the corner and the windows can be opened. The rustling sound of wind making its way through the […]

Beck : Ride Lonesome

If you’re a fan of sad Beck Hansen then you’re in for a treat with his new album Ride Lonesome. We have the 3rd record in a trilogy of sadsack Beck records, following Sea Change from 2002, then Morning Phase in 2014. These are the sad Beck songs, expertly produced to a finite sheen; spectral […]

Mastodon : Marrow Deep

After Mastodon parted ways with longtime guitarist/songwriter Brent Hinds it seemed an era was at an end. The metal quartet had made their mark on the metal community for 2 decades, releasing forward-thinking records like Leviathan, Blood Mountain, and Crack The Skye. These were albums that towed the line between speed metal, prog, and punk […]

Sleep : Hempispheres

Sleep are absolute legends. Not only did the trio -which included Al Cisneros on bass, Matt Pike on guitar, and Chris Hakius(later Jason Roeder) on drums- help define stoner and doom metal in one fell toke…I mean, swoop, but they showed how heavy and loud a three-piece can be. After their game-changing album Dopesmoker, the […]

Ty Segall : Chrome

For the most part you know what to expect from a Ty Segall album. It used to be that one would arrive every year, if not even sooner than that. You could count on Tinnitus-inducing fuzz volumes, drum freakouts, and Ty doing his best to sound like someone singing while melting in lava at the […]

Gonna need a weekend for my weekend…

I do love doing things outside my house, I really do. Concerts, movies, dinner at a restaurant, even a visit at a pal’s house is great. Heading down south to see the kids? Sure. I just like those things spread out over different weekends, that’s all. Plans on Friday AND Saturday night? It’s a very […]

Mike D: Thank You

It’s been 14 years since the passing of MCA, aka Adam Yauch, of the Beastie Boys. When one third of the long-running rap group left it seemed like that was it. The Beastie Boys were done. Remaining members Ad-Rock(Adam Horovitz) and Mike D(Michael Diamond) did re-emerge 6 years later with a Beastie Boys memoir and […]
