This song is a mystical wonderful experience; it is transition time for the Twins known as Cocteau on the album of the same name, and all of this despite the fact that my granddaughter is a flaming lesbian from the Land of Wind and Ghosts. A great deal of bittersweet lead guitar […]

Possibly the definitive indie-pop band of the 2000s, the Shins have straddled the underground and mainstream like few others. Smart enough for the hipsters, yet accessible enough for the masses -  The Shins are hard not to like. 
Ten years ago, the fledgling band from Albuquerque, NM released their first EP, Nature Bears a Vacuum on […]

Probably the most interesting track on The Beatles 2006 remix album Love is this mix of “Within You Without You” (from Sgt. Pepper’s) and “Tomorrow Never Knows” (from Revolver)

Primal Scream’s Screamadelica is one of my favorite albums of the 1990s. And along with 1997’s Vanishing Point and 2000’s Xtrmntr it is one of three Primal Scream albums that I most highly recommend.
Screamadelica could be called an indie rock album inspired by house music, dub music, & gospel music. But such with such […]

George Michael was born as Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou in 1963. I have a hard time imagining he would have had the success that he had if he had kept his birth name.

Deemed the last major remnant of the ill-fated electroclash genre (which they probably never really belonged to in the first place), Ladytron have long been held to inflated expectations to evolve. Their previous album, Witching Hour, was largely hailed as a graceful shift towards a more refined, nuanced, and even (gasp!) organic sound. That album’s […]

Shimmering, majestically beautiful, Dream-like, and sponge-worthy; these are all terms I would use to describe the beauty and truth that were the Cocteau Twins. A band of this variety truly makes me enjoy drum machines, I’ve rarely heard better use of drum machine outside of the Hip-Hop genre, unless you count early Ween (which […]
