Sentiment :: I Will Rent You Porn And Sell You Chips

I was thinking about all the jobs I’ve had in my life and how out of all of them there was only one that I ever truly loved. It wasn’t saving lives as a volunteer superhero. Nor was it my time as a door-to-door door salesman. And as much as I loved being a midwife […]

Of Montreal-Lousy With Sylvianbriar

If you’re a longtime fan of Kevin Barnes and his band of merry pranksters known as Of Montreal, then you also know that the guy changes up his sound about every three months. It seems that within just a month or two of releasing a record that he’s giving an interview saying he’s going in […]

Dr. Dog-B-Room

Pretty much every time Philly’s scrappy indie-soul rockers Dr. Dog drop a new album you can expect tight three and four-part harmonies, Beatles and Beach Boys-inspired melodies for miles, and a back and forth vocal play between lead dogs Toby Leaman and Scott McMicken. What you shouldn’t expect is some drastic difference in their mission […]

Africa/Brass

This is spinning tonight. Been in a heavy jazz mood lately. I think it’s the leaves changing, the air cooling, and dusk hitting sooner in the evening. Fall makes me want to spin Coltrane, Davis, Monk, and Tyner. Most people correlate jazz with the color blue. Not me. I think of autumn hues when I […]

Galactus, Devouring Planets, and Other S**t

Holy s**t, what a weekend. It was such a crazy weekend that I’m just now writing about it on Tuesday. I haven’t posted since last Friday, and that’s really unusual for a guy like me that feels the need to blog everyday. I picked up some musical goodness in the form of Dr. Dog’s B-Room […]

“I support the left, though I’m leaning to the right…”

After hearing about Senator Ted Cruz’ shenanigans the other night on the Senate floor I felt Cream’s “Politition” was in order for this evening. Lucky for me the entire album Wheels of Fire is phenomenal, so it’s a win-win. One of my lucky grabs at Sunday’s record show, Wheels of Fire has been one of […]

Diana-Perpetual Surrender

Diana are a Canadian synth pop band comprised of members of other Canadian bands, though not all are synth pop. That is inconsequential for you to truly enjoy their debut Perpetual Surrender. What is consequential is that you love synth pop, or at the very least occasionally get the itch to listen to Thompson Twins, […]

Hitting The Big Time(in the littlest way possible)

A couple weeks ago I received an email from a woman who works for Naxos USA(not familiar with Naxos? Neither was I..click on the link before reading on). She asked me if I would be interested in reviewing some of their music titles and posting said reviews on Amazon and iTunes, as well as my […]

Sunday Road Trip with Poppa

Okay, I said I’d have another song to share today. Well, I can’t make good on that promise I’m afraid. I had completely forgotten about the Record and CD Show today from 1 to 6pm in Fort Wayne. These things only come around four times a year, so I really wanted to make this one. […]

All You Need To Know: A Conversation with Medicine’s Brad Laner

I know at some point in our lives we think that we’ve heard it all. That we are musically omnicient and there is nothing that hasn’t passed our ears and our firm, pointed judgement. Hey, I’m guilty of it. You have those moments when “so and so” or “that guy at work” or “grandma” asks […]
