Some men in music, like, say, Dan the Automator and Billy Joel, do more for the industry than can even be documented, described, measured or accounted for in any way. With these two men at this point having mostly receded into obscurity, this is especially the case with Pharrell Williams, who at this point I […]
Understandably so, probably, many people harbor a decidedly muddled perspective of the band Pink Floyd. Just to gloss over their situation as it currently stands — as accords to Wikipedia, they are defunct (broken-up), but still have a functional website dedicated thereto, an Internet beacon which has recently made news for David Gilmour’s prohibition of […]
For whatever reason, UK pop bands in the late-’80s seemed especially prone to leaving a lot off of their albums, in terms of quality tracks they’d written that probably could have really caught on. This would be sharply contrasted with, of course, groups from the ’90s like Blur and Oasis, who all but completely abandoned […]
As much as I love The White Stripes, they do kind of seem like a band that would put out a “greatest hits” on their own label, 13 years after their last new LP. And lo and behold, as reports Rolling Stone and every other journal from sea to shining sea, that’s just what they’re […]
According to web24.news, Rihanna has officially “quit music,” the reasons for which can be plurally collected as regarding lack of inspiration and artistic impetus. Rihanna (which I tenuously pronounce REE-ann-uh) is a widely known Barbadian pop diva whose certain songs you had to have heard by now, even if you haven’t discussed or even encountered […]

Sure, it was only a matter of time before my ephemeral inklings of describing Father of All… as a “classic” would be occluded by too many listens to, say, “Oh Yeah!” Obviously, now, you might say, it’s only one song and can throw off this freight train so far at max. Well, let’s just say […]
Oh, Christ. Somewhere in my history there’s probably a white smirk that set this all in motion. Sometime, in time immemorial, I looked away from another person based on the color of his skin, looked at the ground and relished the fact that I had the same skin and hair color as Jesus, or something […]
Something hit me the other night when I was driving home from work listening to Morphine’s album Cure for Pain. It happened, in particular, when Mark Sandman made reference to no less than his THIRD explicated woman within the same album (“Sheila”; to “Candy” and “Mary”) — that type of thing is really rare. It’s […]
