Oasis is one of the bands that hipsters and indie kids most love to hate. In fact I’m sure my fellow blog contributers here quite hate them, or at best they may be indifferent. In the ’90s they were one of my favorite bands. And no this is not a story about how I hate [...]

We all know about the new Beck record, right? 10 songs, each song roughly three minutes…what is this middle-aged man trying to attempt? Is he attempting Sunshine Pop in the 21st century, you know, like The Turtles or something? Beck and sex don’t go together, as he works best while being cryptic or pretending to [...]

I recall losing my virginity the year this album came out in 1993, I was only forty-three years of age and all was right with the world. On “In Utero”, it is a situation where the pleasant young chaps in Nirvana wanted to totally back away from the finely tuned production work of the landmark [...]

Trent Reznor released the new NIN album The Slip on Monday. I’ve only listened through it a couple of times so far but my favorite track at this point is “Lights In The Sky.” It sounds a bit like “1 Ghosts” as far as mood goes. Without the heavy distortion that’s on the piano in [...]
