Spotify playlist. .. .. ACK. If you want something done right, you’ve gotta do it yourself. I don’t know who put together that Essential Wu-Tang thing but they sure don’t know what the he** they’re doing, with that “The Projects” sh** on there. {from Wu-Tang Clan – Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) […]

Score: 0/876 . I still remember the exact moment I realized that Sting wasn’t as lame as like Michael Bolton, or someone like that — my friend had this best of The Police disc cranking in his car and pretty much every tune was a rollicking success. What’s more, each of the songs was a […]
Something happened in my mind the last time “Drain You” came on on my Dolby Radio shuffle. It was like it was a disease. I could HEAR the heroin coursing through those sound waves, through that studio production. Just to brief, real quick: popular rhetoric holds that Kurt Cobain started using around 1990 or so, […]
Score: 8/10 . There are advantages and drawbacks to being so astonishingly devout to the most basic, meat-and-potatoes garage-emo as The Trouble Starts are. First of all, this music is almost sure to remind you of those awesome times in high school of drinking in basements (or garages, appropriately enough) and jamming out on the […]
Spotify playlist. .. Now, I have to admit that to an extent I like what the Beastie Boys did with Solid Gold Hits — the fact that it’s hip-hop dominated, the fact that it came out at a time which encapsulated all six of their great albums in timely fashion and the fact that the […]
Score: 9/10 . For attempted proof in life that “less is more,” we could try to advertise TGI Friday’s appetizer portion sizes, or, far more auspiciously, we could consider the Canadian DUO (that’s two people for you math majors out there) of drummer and bassist singer Greber who foment up this beautiful mess of metal […]
Score: 8.5/10 . Given the erratic balderdash making its presence felt on the initial seconds of Discography 2 from Cloud Rat, it wasn’t surprising to me when I looked and saw that they share a home state with Wolf Eyes (Michigan). So I was like oh, it’s going to be another Wolf Eyes ripoff like […]
Now with this being said, my word association response to “1990s” wouldn’t be a word at all… well it would be a group of words, the “I know you better than you think” line in The Smashing Pumpkins’ song “1979.” But then this is I who used to sit smoking weed in my room in […]
Score: 7/10 . As we all know, pleasure and artistic efficacy exist on an inverse traction. He**, just examine the charming Nap Eyes lyric on album opener “Every Time the Feeling”: “I can’t tell what’s worse / The meaningless / Or the negative meaning / I’ve figured out a way / To get on with […]
