The Prince Of F*****G Darkness : RIP Ozzy

Imagine being 6 or 7 years old. Still quite impressionable and easily rattled by the creepy, eerie, and otherwise “dark” side of existence. Your older brother, 12 or 13, throws a record on mom and dad’s turntable and says “Listen to this.” The needle drops and from out of those Pioneer tower speakers comes 100 […]

Edena Gardens Returns with ‘Dispossessed’, Out 8/22; Listen To “Fills The Well”

Way back in 2022 we were all still dealing with post-Covid heebie jeebies; slowly peeking our heads out the windows and doors we sheltered-in-place behind for the past two years. We clung to what we knew; food, books, films, and music hoping escapism into art would somehow bring us some kind of solace. One of […]

Kuma : It Depends Which Wolf You Feed

The music of Kuma has always entranced me. Canadian producer/musician/DJ James Graham makes the kind of electronic music that engages both the visceral and intellectual. Be it through the world of dance and techno; or through the floating haze of ambient via field recordings and woozy synth, Graham works in mysterious patterns and moods. I […]

Friday Reprieve(Requiem For A Nightmare)

This has been one hell of a ride, reality. I get it, we humans are tough and can take whatever God/Satan/Medical Emergencies/Baphomet can throw at us. But man, these last 9 to 10 days have been pitching some seriously dangerous fast balls at my head and landing quite a few of them. I’m not going […]

Dream Divison Gets Reimagined with ‘Una Rosa nel Giardino d’Inverno: Il Ritorno (A Rose in the Garden of Winter: The Return)’; Listen To “Black Rose(Sean Wolcott Version)”

If ever there was an album that screamed “remix version” it would be Dream Division’s excellent 2024 long player A Rose In The Garden Of Winter. Opening up Dream Division’s sound from just Tom McDowell working alone like a mad scientist, he brought in a who’s who of incredible musicians to create Dream Division & […]

All’s Meh That Ends Meh

You ever have one of those weeks where you feel like the world is crumbling around you, and you can’t quite find shelter from it? What ever can go bad does go bad? Yeah? Well I most definitely had that week last week, and it moved right on into the weekend for a nearly 7-day […]

Back At Monday, 4-Day Weekend, Kept It Low Key

This was a four day weekend that was much needed. Unfortunately it’s already in the rearview, and we’re looking down the barrel of another 5-day work week. Wednesday was my last day at work, yet it feels like I’d just clocked out. Ehh, that’s pretty much how this life goes, innit? You enjoy yourself and […]

Summer Heat, July 4th, Thinking The Things

We’re officially in July. Halfway point of the year 2025, which seems crazy as my brain is still somewhere back at the end of March or early April. That chug of time keeps on chugging, whether you’re ready or not. I think Spring has officially become that one week between cold and hot. There doesn’t […]

Blonde Redhead : The Shadow of the Guest

Blonde Redhead have remained completely singular and original in their sound for over their 32 year career, forming in New York, 1993. Starting out in the no-wave and noise scene, by the 2000s the band(consisting of guitarist/vocalist/keyboardist Kazu Makino and twin brothers Simone Pace(drums/keys) and Amedeo Pace(guitar/bass/vocals/keys) had folded in elements of dream pop and […]

Hawksmoor : An Aesthetic – Experiments in Tape

James McKeown, the musical wizard behind Hawksmoor, travels in historied musical backroads. The sounds he creates and puts together on records like Methods Of Dreaming, On Prescription, Telepathic Heights, and Oneironautics feel like lost treasures of the past. Bringing to mind everyone from Pink Floyd to Kraftwerk to Cluster to Alan Parsons. He works in […]
