Angela Winter : Forbidden Questions In Space

There’s something both beautiful and foreboding listening to the new long player by ambient/electronic artist Angela Winter. There’s a persistent hum that emanates throughout her Past Inside The Present debut titled Forbidden Questions In Space that affects you on a visceral level. As if some universal hum is reaching out from a vast and ancient […]

Getting Better

The summer of 2025 will be known as the summer of change; some good, some difficult, and some that remind you to never get too comfortable in the current situation. I won’t rehash it, because more than likely if you’re reading this then you are probably a semi-regular patron of this page and I’m sure […]

Deftones : private music

Deftones are true survivors of the onslaught of the mid-90s heavy music scene. Lumped into the Nu metal crowd(unfairly), by their 3rd album White Pony the California art rock/metal band showed far more many colors and hues in their sonic palate. This gave them the artistic and creative cache needed to solidify a respected music […]

Edena Gardens : Dispossessed

Denmark’s Edena Gardens rolled onto the scene back in 2022 with their self-titled debut. A monolithic sound of doom-laced blues and post-rock expansiveness, it was like hearing Black Sabbath taking a cue from Ry Cooder; chugging rhythms, desolated guitar tones, and the feeling of some dystopian, post-apocalyptic western taking place on a distant, sun-dried planet. […]

The Black Keys : No Rain, No Flowers

Who still listens to the Black Keys? What’s the appeal to their heavily-produced, pop blues smorgasbord at this point? The last, I don’t know, 5 or 6 records have been these flaccid music affairs that were mere fading shadows of what the Ohio-based blues duo used to represent. Listen, I get it that artists can […]

OSEES : ABOMINATION REVEALED AT LAST

It’s that time of the year when we get ready for the sonic assault that is OSEES. There are like at least 10 different iterations of the West Coast punk/garage/noise band with various spellings, but they all mean just one thing: LOUD. The OSEES leader, singer, guitarist, and general noise guru is John Dwyer. A […]

Radiohead : Hail To The Thief(Live Recordings 2003-2009)

Radiohead may have made the biggest left turn of any band in terms of a sonic shift in style and sound. OK Computer was arguably one of the biggest alternative rock albums of the 90s(and beyond), propelling Radiohead into the pantheon of legendary bands. And for better or worse as far as Yorke & Co […]

Work Space

Man, it’s been a very long time since I’ve had a solid work space at home. I’ve had several spots over the course of the last few years, but nothing that didn’t require moving this or that around in order to make things in that one space. My old spot, since before we had kids, […]

What Timeline Is This?

I remember being a little kid growing up in the 70s and 80s with the general rule of thumb being that Nazis were bad. They were the bad guys in most movies about WWII(unless it was about the war in the Pacific), they were a scourge across Europe conquering countries and taking them over. They […]

Funk #4,999

The brain is a tricky beast. You don’t often think about the brain getting fatigue, much like say your calves or forearms after a strenuous workout. Or hell, maybe you do. I don’t, anyways. I’ve been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks for over 10 years now, so I’ve gotten used to what they feel […]
