I am thankful for the times in life at which I’ve been a mindless automaton, Just dancing to the beat, That is the celestial stuff of light to me, As the buildings Empty, Deteriorate, Are burned down, Under weather which hates you to your core Around women who will suck you for every ounce of […]

Dreams are like women: if you seek them out you’re pretty much doomed. They’ll only come at you when you’re 100% positive you don’t need them at all and you’ll never see another one again, and when they do come to you, they make you realize how incomplete you’d been prior. So I keep having […]

Ya da ya da ya da, I was sitting up drinking some beers early this morning ’cause I couldn’t get to sleep and someone shared the trailer for next year’s Seinfeld: the Movie to my No Seinfeld Group for You I follow. Suffice it to say that it looked about as funny as, well, Friends. […]

Barenaked Ladies Vulnerable otherwise probably to lumping in with such “comedy” acts as They Might Be Giants and Liam Lynch, Toronto’s Barenaked Ladies gave us something in 1998’s album number four Stunt that seems to breathe musical fire and prove that they did seem to have some mission as a collective other than just being […]

Well, the guy’s been dead for a while, and the music was on there for free, so I decided to get squared away with this Low album that Pitchfork rated the number one LP of the ’70s. Don’t get me wrong, I’d heard “Sound and Vision” before and didn’t find it terrible, and in general […]

To be honest, I see so much pretentious sh** these days, from these “colored vinyl” records to phrases like “Nineties indie” (everybody knows the ’90s were a decade of mainstream rock and rap… I can probably count the amount of relevant ’90s indie bands there are on my two hands) that I almost didn’t look […]

Pimp C died 11 years ago, in the fall of 2007. He was one half of UGK, along with Bun B. You still hear him rapping all the time on Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin.’” His job in life was pimping and his and if he wasn’t rappin’ baby he would still be ridin’ Mercedes. He’d dead […]

(Me): Well, I would’ve loved to share the song “The Crunge” today on Facebook, but the Houses of the Holy cover was so disgusting that it rendered the entire operation lurid. I mean what’s actually UP with that cover? I’ll check out Wikipedia, my fact checking cuz. They’re always coming with some sociologically tenacious levity […]

This is just a little post I’m throwing together about the power of music. Well, I call it a “power.” But you might notice something about the “power” of music. It’s not hamhanded aggression it wields, like we’re used to valuing in our society. It’s not a move-over, there’s only one sheriff in town, only […]

I have the Wallflowers song “Bleeders” on my Dolby Radio Spotify playlist and I hear it come on sometimes when I put the list on shuffle mode. To be honest, it ingratiates itself pretty well to and blends in with countless other classic ’90s alt-rock singles from Toad the Wet Sprocket’s “All I Want” to […]
