Beck – “My Mind is On You” »

This is a Beck song that is largely unknown, to animal and animal alike, perhaps even vegetable. I will say that this is a beautiful little number, think Simon & Garfunkel and then drink a large soda pop with ice, and you may perchance to comprehend the song of which I am speaking. […]

Morrissey Thy God »

Believe me when I say that Morrissey is the most brilliant artist in the history of life on earth. Go ahead and take a look, there is no one to compare to this mad genius of the intellectual set. He is god’s own pet, the original mope madman and one hell of a […]

Mindless Self Indulgence »

I’ve been looking for a band to challenge Hollywood Undead for the title of “Worst Music Ever” and just about 15 seconds into the first song on Mindless Self Indulgence’s MySpace page “Never Wanted To Dance” I think I may have a true challenger. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not ready to hand the crown […]

Post War - M. Ward »

“Post War” is the title track from M. Ward’s 2006 album of the same name. I’ve only heard the album a few times so far (I finally got it recently, bit behind on this one) but this song really stands out for me. I can see why he named the album after it. (Or possibly […]

Dusk At Cubist Castle - The Olivia Tremor Control »

Music from the Unrealized Film Scrip, Dusk at Cubist Castle was released in 1996 by The Olivia Tremor Control. It was their debut album and is quite probably my favorite album released in ‘96 and possibly my favorite debut album ever.
It’s an epic 27 track psychedelic rock masterpiece with tracks as short as 24 […]

Soul On Fire - Spiritualized »

I’m not sure how much I like Spiritualized’s latest album Songs in A & E just yet except I’m pretty sure I like it more than their last one, Amazing Grace, and I know I don’t like it as much as their best one, 1997’s Ladies & Gentlemen.
But I have been listening to the […]

Top Ten Rock Albums Of The 1960s* »

*as ranked by the users of rateyourmusic.com
#1 The Beatles - Abbey Road (1969)
Actually only my 4th favorite Beatles album. It’s great for sure but it doesn’t bring quite the excitement and experimentation of my three favorite Beatles albums (which are all make the top 10 along with this one.) Side 1 has some great tracks […]
