Jeff Tweedy : Twilight Override

Jeff Tweedy has established himself as one of the great songwriters of our time. He wouldn’t say that as he’s way too humble of a guy, but I can say it for him. He started out in Uncle Tupelo, not even 20-years old. In that band’s short 7-year stretch, Tweedy along with Jay Farrar set […]

Jan Borre : Grayson II : Sands Of Praconia

Belgian composer and electronic musician Jan Borré works in heady, colorful tones via synths. His work is lush in warm analog vibes and sweeping, cinematic movements. My first time listening to Borré was with his 2019 opus GRAYSON, an imagined soundtrack written around the Star Trek world. In-particular, Mr. Spock and his human mother Amanda Grayson. […]

SML, Jeff Tweedy, Tortoise, Makaya McCraven Incoming : Year In Music Not Done Yet

So I’ve gotta say, 2025 has been an amazing year for music. While most other aspects of this year have been, well, less than stellar, music has been that one shining glimpse of hope that the world is moving on. I’ve been pretty happy with movies as well this year, but music has been what’s […]

14 years, Music For Dealing With loss, Four-Legged Friends

I try not to take up too much time on here talking about MY music, as in music that I make. I prefer to keep this a place for my thoughts on the music I listen to and soundtrack my life with. And yeah, I’ll occasionally talk about movies and books as well. I put […]

Nine Inch Nails : TRON: Ares Soundtrack

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have made themselves one hell of a post-NIN career in film scoring. That’s not to say that Nine Inch Nails is retired, as Reznor’s industrial rock band is still very much among the living. But since Reznor and Ross began their film scoring career back in 2010 with David Fincher’s […]

Slow Blink : Letters Home

Nostalgia and memory go hand in hand. Not all memories equate to nostalgia, but the best ones do. When the present isn’t currently offering some sort of contentment – as is the case with where we are right now in history – we seek better times locked away in the past. Trips to small town […]

Salvatore Mercatante : Strega III: Dianus Of Doorways

I first heard New York City’s Salvatore Mercatante way back in 2019 with his excellent dark synth/Giallo exploration Il Lamento della Strega. I was blown away by it as it felt like it was pulled out of some alternate reality; Gothic undertones and 70s Italian horror come together to make this beautiful and eerie sound […]

Free Speech Warriors…Hello?? Is This Thing On??

Remember when the Right was all about free speech? Back when trolls like Alex Jones and that Milo whatever his name was were banned from Twitter for their hate speech? All these camouflaged, bearded weekend warriors on the far Right were screaming about silencing voices? Well now those same couch potato pundits are laughing at […]

David Byrne : Who Is The Sky?

David Byrne has made quite a career for himself since the dissolution of Talking Heads. In fact, when people talk about Talking Heads its as if David Byrne was the only “Head” that mattered and continued to create music and art at a prolific rate. Though, if you’re in the know you know that’s not […]

Alone 1980 : Portal

I’m always excited when there’s new Alone 1980 music to get lost in. The Sweden-based electronic artist has taken the world of imagined soundtracks and elevated it. What started out as a genre influenced and inspired by the sleazy synth world that scored so many b-movie exploitation horror films from the 70s and 80s(many of […]
